I'm Coming to Your Town

Flying away
Free to be You and Me was so beyond
Breaking the day
Can you believe we typed until the dawn
Didn't take one single touch, and
Didn't take very much, very much at all
Got on a plane
Faster than film and polaroids to you
Call me insane
When I see you I don't know what I'll do
I don't know why the sun goes down, and
I don't know how the fish don't drown, and
I don't know how this love came around
But I want you
And I'm coming to your town
I'm coming to your town
I ain't lying
I'm coming to your town
Every day we're dying so
I'm coming to your town
I don't care what people say
If this ain't crazy
Then it ain't love anyway
Head in the clouds
Wondering who you think you're gonna see
Screaming out loud
Every word I've heard inside of me
I don't know how the sun goes down, and
I don't know how the fish don't drown, and
I don't know how this love came around
But I need you
And I'm coming to your town
I'm coming to your town
I ain't lying
I'm coming to your town
Every day we're dying so
I'm coming to your town
I don't care what people say
If this ain't crazy
Then it ain't love anyway

I don't know how to have your baby
That's probably why I keep saying maybe
In the dead of night I'm out on the lawn
But the moon and stars can't say what I want
And I think it's because I just don't know how
To have your baby
I don't know how to own an angel
I wonder if I've been made able
To protect from all uncertain danger
And give my life to a perfect stranger
Oh honey I love you but I just don't know how
To have your baby
Well every night's the same dream
I'm eaten by a snake
And I have to cut her belly open
And kill her to escape
Then I wake up right by your side
And everything's ok
And I never ever ever want that to change
I don't know how to have your baby
My body promises no safety
I can see her smile in your big blue eyes
When you laugh out loud I can hear her cries
I can almost touch her, but honey I just don't know how
To have your baby

Some Days
03:00

Some days I can almost breath
Some days I can almost hear you leave
Some days I get up and I get going
Some days I feel like the years are showing
But I would not have anything at all
If I did not pick up the phone when you call
Some days I can bring myself to eat
Some days I might even move to speak
Some days I go out a little while
Some days I might manage me a smile
My friends say that it helps
But I ain't fooling no one, least of all myself
What more could I have done
When you never wanted me more than her
Oh, what more could I have done
To make you see
You were always the only one
Sometimes I can give myself a break
Sometimes I believe it wasn't fake
Sometimes I pretend that you are dead
Sometimes I forget your promises
But I'm a bird without a song
Until you come back home, my babe, and prove me wrong

Rain and Wine

Joyful, joyful Rain and Wine
I have left my troubles behind
I have laughed, my cheeks are strained
My eyes are full of joyful rain
Seven years since we did part
But lost no time from heart to heart
I know yours and you know mine
I’ll see you at the end of time
In the room behind the door
Joyful moans run through the floor
And though they toss and turn all night
I have my friends to burn this light
Pitter patter is the noise
Of 14 sleeping girls and boys
Some are off to raise their own
Some are lost but not alone
Now we’re talking cats and dogs
Has it really been so long?
Have you ever felt so old?
Stay away, you’ll catch my cold
I’m so tired, but I can’t sleep
Secrets much to hard to keep
Tasting notes of love so fine
Pairs so well with rain and wine
And as I go remember why
We soaked ourselves in Rain and Wine

Friends who are family to me now

Rainbow Camp (x2)
I'm standing tall like a tree now
Roots in the ground
Strong and deep and all around
The water's calling to me now
I feel the love
Raining down from up above
Shoobee doobee doo doot doo
Rainbow Camp (x2)
Rap (N.C.):
LGBTQ and more
Everyone stomp on the floor
Fun, adventure, so exciting
Forest, lake, mosquito biting
Friendship, love, we go together
Sunny days or stormy weather
Cabins, hiking to the bog
Dragonflies and slimy frogs
Dancing, make-up, drag, and glitter
We don’t need no baby sitter!
Rainbow camp is here, bubba!
Makes my heart go hubba hubba
LIT’s are lit, you know
Cabin family is my home
So genderqueer or gay or trans
Get your butt to Rainbow camp!
Shoobee doobee doo doot doo
Rainbow Camp
(repeat chorus, let each person improv in the slot)

Coming Back
03:19

You keep on coming back, coming back
C-c-coming back, coming back
C-c-coming back, coming back
C-c-coming back, coming back…
You grabbed on to me
When we were young
You sprung a leak in me
And we had fun
In sleepless nights of snow
I smoked the bitter cold
I drank the warmest ale
And you were on my tail
But when the sun comes up
There’s nothing in this cup
For you and me… but…
You keep on coming back, coming back
C-c-coming back, coming back
C-c-coming back, coming back
C-c-coming back, coming back
Keep on coming back, coming back
C-c-coming back, coming back
C-c-coming back, coming back
C-c-coming back, coming back
Back to me
You always needed me
Like a dog
I guess I need it too
I could not stop
But when the gloves come off
There ain’t no love that tough
I watched you cry and scream
Behind a smiling screen
But when the sun goes down
On this trumped up town
It’s just you and me
CHORUS
I heard the angels sing
I heard the church bells ring
I saw the ocean part
I held a beating heart
I felt the sunset burn
As my soul returned
And you were nowhere to be found
CHORUS X2
