Dog Catcher 06:24
To Peter Pan in Neverland aa To tiger lily and her free tribe Keep it separate keep it safe don’t let those worlds collide I stayed cautious It never got me what I wanted A steady job a fixed address would bring me no relief Security hasn't saved me much And who cares what my getting’s got Who cares if you don't make the rent Or if you lose your teeth? I could learn to be brave To cross the street without looking both ways Or I could keep my world small And never cross the street at all I'm not the way I used to be I have a lot of bills to pay A lot of people count on me I want them to think well of me Being young means catching waves Not growing roots, being brave No tree can touch the sky The queen bee rules but doesn’t fly Is the adult world just standing on the shore? Catching different waves no more Or is it finding one where you can stay That never lands, that never breaks I am a little bird who has broken out of the cage Safe in neverland from the dogcatcher of age Threaten me with a calendar and I won’t even flinch I will never grow a moustache or a fraction of an inch

Low Tide 06:38
Jay is waiting on the dock Watching waves as they break against the rocks The ebb and flow that pulls time away Live in memory and you’ll hate today Stuck in history like a wedge in a crack With no way out and no way back Split the world and start one of your own Stuck in time and you’re stuck alone My lungs no longer fill with light So I turn into memory Against the current and so on Borne back ceaselessly If the rowing is so hard The tide is moving the other way Don’t despair if the tide is going to change It happens twice a day Everything is a clock Each hour reflected and replayed A clock erases its own history It happens twice a day

September will be here before we know it But don’t pack the fins and inner tubes away Keep swimming as the days are getting shorter Pray for that freak hot October day Anxiety will take you to the river A chilly breeze could be around the corner Count your blessings when the sun is shining Aren’t you glad the earth is getting warmer The time for swimming Slips away from you And no swim Feels like the last one Though for a while Each one does But someday The last swim comes Don’t get ahead of time and stay inside Trick yourself to get yourself depressed Go out to the water while you’re able The winter will be long and we can rest Think of the water when it’s dark at 4 I hope that it can give you some relief May is closer than you can imagine The memory of joy in present grief Hold on because I’m scared that you will make me Do something I don’t ever want to do And say now your troubles are all over may your troubles continue

Eat Crow 06:44
She sews their shadows to their feet And gladly, it’s nice to be needed She wipes their noses when they run and makes sure skinned knees are treated She sews their shadows to their feet Because clearly someone needs to do it And that’s what she was brought here for To tend this little band of misfits Someone had to take this job of making supper and washing dishes And joining in adventures too in the land of boyhood wishes Time passes outside neverland but in this realm they dance and play And fight wars that never leave these walls and never age a single day If this world collapsed then who would know of this secret playground hideaway We hide our secret refuge well and never age a single day But Wendy will return to London and grow up outside neverland And peter he will not go with her or he’ll be caught and made a man But she’ll make an awesome mom Nurturing fun loving too With stories that her kids eat up Of the adventures before she grew But she’ll miss that daring fun And she’ll miss her Peter Pan You cease to be able to fly The moment that you doubt you can Peter stays in neverland Visits sometimes, forgets usually He’ll stay a child, safe on his shore Where he can crow eternally Could we hold on to fleeting things? Wake to new adventures every morning Or grow old and not let life grow old Let slowing paces not be boring

Broken Hands 05:05
I tell time By my telephone Not from a watch I have to wind There’s nothing left For me to set I never need To change the time No cuckoo bird To mark my hours I don’t own A watch to repair Once time came Out of my hands Now it comes Out of the air Time once came From the hand of man Now it comes Out of the air Will it feel Like a loss When the last Clock has stopped

The aspen roots beneath the soil The iceberg below the surface When we rely on our idiot eyes There’s so much that we miss Find something eyes have never seen Something that you can’t explain Before it’s separate from our world Before it has a name My senses all deceive me I don’t know what I don’t know It’s beyond my range of vision A dog looking at a rainbow Like a man looking at a rainbow Or a dog whistle to a man Something you can’t quite conceive of But you imagine that you can Is there a dog that dreams in green? Is the thought of a unicorn a real thought? Imagine a pantone ultraviolet Is the thought of a unicorn a real thought? Like a dog looking at a rainbow Or a dog whistle to a man Something you can’t quite conceive of But you imagine that you can The moment it had a name And occurred to us to think about
