Hold on Maybe, hold on maybe tonight
Where went those stars shine bright
They're right before your eyes
I cannot see I cannot see without my glasses
Hold on Maybe, hold on maybe tonight
Whence comes that morning light
It's right before your eyes
I cannot see I cannot see without my glasses
Hold on Maybe, hold on maybe tonight
Which way to Brooklyn Heights
It's right before your eyes
I cannot see I cannot see without my glasses
Hold on Maybe, hold on maybe tonight
When comes those cherry skies
They're right before your eyes
I cannot see I cannot see without my glasses
Hold on Maybe, hold on maybe tonight
Where flew those birds we'd tied
They're right before your eyes
I cannot see I cannot see without my glasses

Strawberry, so ripe and red and sweet
Strawberry, you slip between my teeth
Strawberry, your juice runs down my lip
Strawberry, run my tongue over your tip
Strawberry, such a delicate treat to eat
Strawberry, I need you inside of me
Strawberry, I lick the honey from your fingers
Sticky fingers, I'm a sticky girl for your fingers
Strawberry, to pluck you is a pleasure
Strawberry I can feel you here forever.
Forever and ever and ever ...

A gift from the gods a gift from your lips
and me in white linen
Given the chance to give all of this
and me in white linen
We ran through the leaves arms wide to the breeze
and me in white linen
Heart in my throat as you whisper to me
and me in white linen
In white linen we ruled our day
So opened our hearts
Pulsing the moments away
Alternate glory alternate pain
and me in white linen
Panic and passion a steamy refrain
and me in white linen
Soaring above a world made of steam
and me in white linen
Gift fro the Goddess a universe wiped clean
and me in white linen
In white linen we ruled our day
So opened our hearts
Pulsing the moments away
All around me, all around me, white linen ...

I took myself and my bundle traveling
I was uncouth, uncaring and winsome
A big ole tree'll break where a sapling may bend
so I cast my lot with the minds of children
So blow wind blow again and again
I am strong against the winds of heaven
So blow wind blow again and again
I am strong against the winds of heaven
Pyrite pirates, fools gold in demand
Lurch forth into the great evening
Cast your eyes South if you'd like to understand
There's no gift like the glory of freedom
I made a pact with the dead of night
When the sun comes up,one of us must die
I made a mask out of wrong and right
It turned out to look just like me
Bridge I know across a river damned
so we won't have to pay the ferry man
Foot path from my front porch will lead us home again
It is littered with the giggles of children
So blow wind blow again and again
I am strong against the winds of heaven
So blow wind blow again and again
I am strong against the winds of heaven

Heaven sent little girls
to fill the world with glee
Heaven sent little girls
but they didn't send me
Angels made those little curls
so pretty and perfect and sweet
Heaven made little girls
But heaven didn't make me
Turn away your eyes
when you see me walking by
I got more than you could ever believe

The magic word
It grew into the meadow
The misty rain
It came a glinting down
Up came the sun and dried out all the meadow
Down came the rain and we all nearly drown
"Oh simple songs
I long to hold your syllables in my mouth
Wrap my tongue 'round your magic sounds"
So sang the rain, and soaked into the ground
And then a wash
It flowed across the meadow
The soft terrain
Pronounced the firm of ground
The wizard came and said
"I know this meadow"
And splashed a flame behind his wizard gown
"Oh simple songs
I long to hold your syllables in my mouth
Wrap my tongue 'round your magic sounds
And sing"
So sang the rain, and soaked into the ground

I aimed my ship at a fragile point,
a hole in the wind where the rain came down
Told my captain there ain't no point
"Whichever way it blow we gonna go to ground."
So Neptune blow wherever you please
Devil for a pilot in this deep blue sea
Neptune blow wherever you please
A hole in the wind got ahold of me
It's different now bobbing still
I was on my way from before to until
But it's different now than a minute ago
Listen to me whisper here "Blow wind blow ..."

All these special chemicals jittering my bones
causing me my shaking mind to stagger on
Such emotional climate change, it's hard to be quite sure
Can the forest see the trees; can the lovesick find a cure?
Overwhelm me, overwhelm me, how do you do?
Fearful blunders from a fearless past
an ever changing grasp on you.
And if you wanted more, more
you could have it all
and if you wanted more, more
We could tie it to your soul
and if you wanted more, more
We could tie it to your soul
But if you still wanted more, then I guess I just don't know
All these special chemicals from my stupid mind
pushing toward I just don't know
Making me want to start again
Overwhelm me, overwhelm me ...
And if you wanted more, more
you could have it all
and if you wanted more, more
We could tie it to your soul
and if you wanted more, more
We could tie it to your soul
But if you still wanted more
