Come To My Window – Melissa Etheridge

Lyrics

Come to my window
Crawl inside, wait by the light
of the moon
Come to my window
I’ll be home soon

I would dial the numbers
Just to listen to your breath
I would stand inside my hell
And hold the hand of death
You don’t know how far I’d go
To ease this precious ache
You don’t know how much I’d give
Or how much I can take

Just to reach you
Just to reach you
Just to reach you

Come to my window
Crawl inside, wait by the light
of the moon
Come to my window
I’ll be home soon

Keeping my eyes open
I cannot afford to sleep
Giving away promises
I know that I can’t keep
Nothing fills the blackness
That has seeped into my chest
I need you in my blood
I am forsaking all the rest
Just to reach you
Just to reach you
Oh to reach you

Come to my window
Crawl inside, wait by the light
of the moon
Come to my window
I’ll be home soon

I don’t care what they think
I don’t care what they say
What do they know about this
love anyway

Come to my window
Crawl inside, wait by the light
of the moon
Come to my window
I’ll be home soon

Circle of Life – Elton John (Disney’s Lion King)

Lyrics

From the day we arrive on the planet
And blinking, step into the sun
There’s more to be seen than can ever be seen
More to do than can ever be done

Some say eat or be eaten
Some say live and let live
But all are agreed as they join the stampede
You should never take more than you give

In the circle of life
It’s the wheel of fortune
It’s the leap of faith
It’s the band of hope
Till we find our place
On the path unwinding
In the circle, the circle of life

Some of us fall by the wayside
And some of us soar to the stars
And some of us sail through our troubles
And some have to live with the scars

There’s far too much to take in here
More to find than can ever be found
But the sun rolling high through the sapphire sky
Keeps great and small on the endless round

For Tigger

In spite of you saying
“I’ve been expecting this for a long while”
I knew in our shared sorrow
It was not an easy decision
For you to make
Heartwrenching resolution
To do that final act of kindness
Her furry figure was no longer
Able to curl up close to you
Her eyes no longer gazed up to you
With the soulful innocence of that kitten
She was sixteen years ago
Her once dark striped muzzle
Streaked with white
Still continued to love your touch
To the very end
Together we share the tears today
For we have freed Tigger to the heavens
Where she will keep your mother company
And once more play with her sister Spitfire…
Tomorrow we will rejoice
For her spirit is no longer fettered
By earthly bounds
And will live forever in our hearts

Brush Fire

today
live match
or half finished cigarette butt
tossed somewhere
by a careless fisherman
landed and sparked
on brown pine needles
spewing
white wispy tendrils
drifting higher than
tall pine trees
silhouetted
against tranquil blue sky
we answered
smoke signals
with shovel, hoe, rake
united in sweat and muscle
rake, dig, overturn, pat down
smothering orange glow
with red dirt
black blanket
marking our progress
wide swath
from lake to gate
until
fiery genesis
met successful
obliteration
