Scales, soft to the touch
Iridescent sea-green
Luminous in the still mirror
A revelation, splendid imperfection
Soft, with a sure touch
She traces their wet ridges
Underneath the torn edges
Where the old skin has split apart
Tonight, she will be free of it at last

Bloom

Where did it all begin
This joyful explosion into being?
All the elements of the cosmos
Have come together
So you could bloom in my garden
So you could bloom in my arms
Brown eyes laughing
This mystery of connection
We're lost in distraction
When there is only this
Life in full bloom
And you, you bloom
Bloom in my arms
Where did it all begin
This joyful explosion into being?
Born in the heart of a star's imagining
Now here you are
And you will bloom in my garden
You will bloom in my arms
Brown eyes laughing
This mystery of connection
We're lost in distraction
When there is only this
Life in full bloom
And you, you bloom
Bloom in my arms
Be the sunshine in my sky
And the warmest rain that falls
I'll soak you into my soft black earth
Oh, be the sunshine in my sky
And the warmest rain that falls
I'll soak you into my soft black earth
Bloom, bloom, bloom
Bloom in my arms
You bloom in my arms

Precious

Just a child bringing up a child
Just a child bringing up a child
And the wheel goes round
the wheel goes round
In a dream, pretty eyes closed
In a dream, pretty eyes closed
Twist a heel in the dirt
Feels like home
You don't know how precious you are
You don't know how precious you are
(repeat verses as a round)
You don't know how precious you are
You don't know how precious you are
You don't know how precious you are
You don't know how precious you are
You are, you are gold
A shining star

Little Bird Hurry

Hurry, hurry
The time is drawing nigh
Hurry, hurry
You will spread your wings and fly
Hurry, hurry
Little bird, so high
Hurry, hurry
Into that blue sky
Deeper, deeper
You must go deeper now
Deeper, deeper
To the heart of it now
Deeper, deeper
Go down to the centre
Find your treasure
Behold the flowers in the field
How beautiful they are
They neither toil nor spin
Keep nothing for yourself
Nothing for yourself
Little bird, hurry
Hurry
Hurry, hurry
The time is drawing nigh
Hurry, hurry
You will spread your wings and fly
Hurry, hurry
Little bird, you’ll find
That freedom you seek
Pursuing the invisible course
Keep nothing for yourself
Hurry, hurry
Nothing for yourself
Hurry, hurry
