A Thousand Leaves Complete Lyrics

Contre le sexisme Lyrics

[Verse]

Describe the touch, no it's the thought

It's warm and yellow and has a ruffle

It's warm and yellow and

He's so quiet I forgot he's there

And I think here I am

"Oh Alice, come back he's just a kitten

He's just a kitten"

A thousand leaves for your disguise fall on

The sky and looking up from down is a sea to

Realize the leaves are falling up and down

Up and round

And this is from my heart to you

A crazy wind will stir me too and contre de la

Sexisme

I am with you

Karen Koltrane Lyrics

6 ContributorsKaren Koltrane LyricsKaren's moving out

Out into the sky

Karen trips on a cloud

Sets down stars in her eyes

She's alone in a room

She's deep inside of her mind

Karen's leaving for the snow

Somewhere to somewhere blind

She cut the silver lining in my soul

I was tethered to her for a time

Will she stay forever?

Are we still together?

(Will she stay?)

Will she stay forever?

(Flashlight)

Are we still together?

(Karen stay)

Will she stay forever?

(Flashlight)

Are we still together?

(Karen stay)

A Love Supreme

Karen, you're hanging on the line

Wraps your coat tight around

Karen, your eyes are on the prize

I'll catch you on my way down

Snare, Girl Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I'm here for you

Can't you see what I'm doing

I bring you news from the kingdom

Of disciples in ruin

Behold a child

Has just been born

Into a life

Of secrets sworn

Hold out yr hands

And take these palms I've been given

They are wild with beauty faded

And they can guide this child to heaven

So rest assured

And understand

How harvest eyes

Renew your land

[Bridge]

I'm here looking for you dear

If I could see clear

Through all the sun stained stations

Its all up in the air girl

Its like a snare girl

In all its manifestations

[Outro]

I'm here for you

Can't you see what im saying

I have palms from the ruins

Where disciples are straying

Im coming after you

With mercy given

And yr secrets out

Now you're forgiven

Im here looking for you dear

Can't you see clear

All these sun stained stations

Its you under the stairs girl

With a snare girl

Sounding salutations

Heather Angel Lyrics

[Verse]

Never going to ya do it

A world below

Heather Angel you are somewhere

On the show

Don't you think you would find

Where to go

I want to go dancing on the other side

I want to buy a phonograph

But the money's gone

He bought books and records

I don't care about that

I just want to be alive

And go to the other

I don't want money or books

Have to decide

[Bridge]

Passive

[Outro]

And you were shot in the name of it

And then you'd see yeh, yeh

Then you'd see

The relationship

And walking I see you in the clouds

And I fall for

I would fall for you

I would

Forever

Goodbye, bye

Goodbye

And that is all

STOP! STOP! STOP!

Here we go

Here we go!

[?]

Go, go, go!
