Lyrics

JONI M. SONG


LITTLE SPECULATION
OF ANY GIFTS WITHIN A MIND
PAIN CAN BE THE DRIVER
OF A CHILD WITH ANY CHANCE
AT ANY FORTUNATE OUTCOME


OCCUPATIONAL SOLITUDE
EVERY CADENCE AND UNRHYME
ANSWERS TO SOME QUESTIONS DON’T
MAKE SOME SCENES IN TIME


NOT ALL FLOWS TOGETHER
LIKE IT’S GONNA STAY THAT WAY
SWAY FROM THE PAST
AND IRON BARS
FELT IN SEPARATIONS


EVERYONE SHOULD BE ALLOWED
TO COME IN FROM THE COLD
BUT THAT’S WHERE YOU CAN FIND IT
ABANDONED, UNCONSOLED


CANVASES AND LULLABIES
A LITTLE PEACE AND DIFFERENT NOTES TO TRY
TO LULL AWAY THE WORRIES
OVER THE COURSE OF A LIFETIME


I HAVE REMINDERS THAT STAY WITH ME
YOUR BEAUTIFUL CLOUDS
AND MAGDALENE LAUNDRIES
THE LIST GETS WAY TOO LONG
FOR EVERY MASTERPIECE OF
PORTRAITURE AND SONG


AND WHEN NOTHING CAN DONE
NOTHING CAN BE SAID
SOUNDS AND STROKES BECOME
EACH MASTERS WOVEN THREAD
SOMEONE TOLD ME LONG AGO
NOTHING CAN BE SAID
