1.Linger, Let Me Linger
Lyricist：Brett Sparks, Rennie S Sparks
Like the thorn bush twines against the chain link fence
Like the spider spins its rings between the trees
And the lonely sycamore bends to the breeze
I am the puddles in the street waiting for your falling leaves
Twine your vines around me, drop your branches in my path
Linger, let me linger
Hearts drawn on a dusty window pane
A love note lying in the road
A car circling round a darkened street
A woman crying on the phone
We are like the crickets in the spring calling out from under
stones
Twine your vines around me, drop your branches in my path
Linger, let me linger
2.Little Sparrows
Lyricist：Brett Sparks, Rennie S Sparks
Oh, you little sparrows on a swaying branch
Singing to the cars up on the overpass
When you fly away from here take me with you when you go
A herd of antelope, a sea of redwood trees
Schools of shining fish and a thousand buzzing bees
Over winter parking lots the passing geese
Rising in the air little dandelion seeds
When you fly away from here please don't leave me when you go
If I were Jonah tossed into the raging sea
I would not fear the whale that came to swallow me
Oh, you paper cups rolling down the windy street
Oh, you little ants winding through the tangled weeds
Where you're going I don't care, take me with you when you go
3.My Friend
Lyricist：Brett Sparks, Rennie S Sparks
I swear I heard a bird calling high in the chestnut trees
The sun was so bright that bird I couldn't see
No matter where I stood I couldn't see beak or wing
Just burning blinding leaves, still and silent trees
Were you with me then my friend？
Are you with me now？
Were you with me then my friend？
Are you with me now？
When that cement truck, the mixer turning slow
Drove right past me dripping in the road
That swollen body spinning in circles
I stopped and watched it roll, roll and groan
Were you with me then my friend？
Are you with me now？
Were you with me then my friend？
Are you with me now？
When I swam alone that night late summer dusk
The air so warm and still, the water wide and dark
Something brushed against me, I splashed and kicked in fright
Such cold hands upon me, underwater vines
Were you with me then my friend？
Are you with me now？
Were you with me then my friend？
Are you with me now？
4.When You Whispered
Lyricist：Brett Sparks, Rennie S Sparks
Up on the drawbridge when we stood in the wind
My car left running, the doors wide open
The wind spread ripples along the river waves
Your hands in my hair as the drawbridge swayed
You leaned in closer as the sun fell away
A plastic bag trembled caught in the waves
When you whispered what you whispered in my ear
The breeze at the shoreline bent down the rushes
The sparrows cried out from the waving willows
And even the minnows in the muddy shallows
Even the frogs calling from the shadows
Even the wind leaned in to listen
When you leaned in closer your hands in my hair
When you whispered what you whispered in my ear
When you whispered what you whispered in my ear
5.The Loneliness Of Magnets
Lyricist：Brett Sparks, Rennie S Sparks
My heart is a beating compass pointing to the pole
The great expanse of stillness, the true magnetic north
I know the sky blue longing of a cloud of spiraling birds
All turning in an instant, a perfect spinning whirl
I feel the loneliness of magnets and the tides across the sea
I am the dark valley calling to the trembling mountain peak
Wherever you are tonight as you close your eyes to sleep
Think of me as you drift away to the mist of silver dreams
And I will find you in the darkness where water turns to steam
Your pull upon my heart could steer ten thousand wings
I feel the loneliness of magnets and trembling mountain peaks
I call you from dark valleys and I hear you echoing
6.June Bugs
Lyricist：Brett Sparks, Rennie S Sparks
I wanna kiss you in thickets and dripping wet glades
As the stars rub against the dark skin of space
Every planet is turning and calling your name
For hundreds of miles the trees bend your way
Because the green buds are swelling
And the June bugs are back in the yard
I wanna kiss you in green groves and echoing caves
I wanna fall through the treetops and drift across lakes
The wind's in the oak trees, it's been raining for days
Because the green buds are swelling
And the June bugs are crawling the yard
Yes, the green buds are swelling
And the June bugs are back in the yard
Hawk moths are sipping the night blooming rose
A honey as sweet as the moon's sugar glow
The leaves of the apple tree whispering low
The stars are on fire, the nightingales moan
Because the green buds are swelling
And the June bugs are crawling the yard
7.A Thousand Diamond Rings
Lyricist：Brett Sparks, Rennie S Sparks
A smashed windshield, the dust on a pickup truck
Shine with silver secrets in the Albuquerque sun
The light makes jewels of pawn shops and drive through banks
Wrinkled faces staring out the windows of the Laundromat
And even the broken glass scattered in the street
Shines like a thousand diamond rings
Neon signs above the old motels
Warehouse stores and strip malls, houses sprawled across the
hills
The sunset's a bird with wings made out of fire
Parking lots turn to gold as it glides across the sky
And every night from 6：00 to 6：05
The desert dirt shimmers like a sea of watermelon light
Even the broken glass shattered in the street
Shines like a thousand diamond rings
8.Love Is Like
Lyricist：Brett Sparks, Rennie S Sparks
Love is like a white moth sipping tears from sleeping birds
An asteroid in flames tumbling to Earth
Raindrops sliding down the stems of orange leaves
The flicker of a strange light far out across the sea
Love is like a black fly buzzing in the sun
Circling and landing, dancing like it's drunk
All around the red apples scattered on the lawn
Fallen in the fury of last night's thunderstorm
Love is like the hole torn right through the roof
When that old sugar pine came crashing down last night
And above the broken beams and the shattered ceiling tiles
You can see starlight for the very first time
9.The Petrified Forest
Lyricist：Brett Sparks, Rennie S Sparks
When we were together I lay in your river
As the fish swam through my hands
Raindrops and roses fell from the heavens
Just to brush against your skin
And a strand of your hair lost to the wind
Sent doves wheeling through the air
But now I'm alone in the petrified forest
Stumbling on rocks in the dark
But I remember, I still remember
When you held me in your beautiful arms
When you left me alone the sky turned to stone
And my legs rolled into the sea
Why did you go？ The sea was so cold
My arms blew off in the breeze
I search for your footprints, the scent of roses
As the wind weeps over the sea
But now I'm alone in the petrified forest
Stumbling on rocks in the dark
And I remember, I'll always remember
When you held me in your beautiful arms
10.Wild Wood
Lyricist：Brett Sparks, Rennie S Sparks
Give me a swamp, a deep dark bog
Where I can lose my way in pools of slippery mud
Give me cold, cold rain, a cloud of stinging bugs
Deadly nightshade, poison oak, give me the wild, wild wood
The wild, wild, the wild, wild, wild wood
The wild, wild, the wild, wild, wild wood
We can dress in skins, wrap our feet in bark
And you can growl at me or hit me with a rock
When you want to say I love you in the dark
And I will bark like a dog in your arms
In the wild, wild, the wild, wild, wild wood
The wild, wild, the wild, wild, wild wood
We can make a God out of sticks and bones
Or we can pray to the trees or pray to the sun
And our eyes will shine when we start to sing
With the hungry wolves outside our freezing cave
In the wild, wild, the wild, wild, wild wood
The wild, wild, the wild, wild, wild wood
11.Darling, My Darling
Lyricist：Brett Sparks, Rennie S Sparks
Darling, my darling look at my waving antennae
My barbed jaw and hard red pincers
The stripes running down my spine
Darling, my darling watch me fly up in spirals
Admire the horns 'neath my eyes
The fan of my beautiful wings
I'll give you everything
Darling, my darling I bow my leg like a cello
I perch on branches and bellow
While dreaming only of thee
I'll give you everything
Darling, my darling down in the dew dropped rushes
I beat my head in the darkness
And build a fortress of tunnels
Darling, my darling your snapping fangs don't scare me
I'll leap on your spine and love you till you gnaw me down to my
wings
I'll give you everything, I'll give you everything
Oh my darling, oh my darling
12.Down In The Winding Corn Maze
I came to a field of green where the corn stalks grew so tall
The sunlight could not pierce to the winding path below
Round and round I went under those waving stems
I followed the shadowed path marked so faintly with her step
Down in the winding corn maze where green stalks shiver in the
wind
There in a swarm of bees I knelt down at her feet
Such spirals spread for miles through the bending leaves
And she took me to her arms in that cloud of honey bees
Whirring in their whirling as they rose on golden wings
Down in the winding corn maze where green stalks shiver in the
wind
13.Junebugs
I want to kiss you in thickets and dripping wet glades
As the stars rub against the dark skin of space
Every planet is turning and calling your name
For hundreds of miles the trees bend your way
Because the green buds are swelling
And June Bugs are back in the yard
I want to kiss you in green groves and echoing caves
I want to fall through the treetops and drift across lakes
The wind's in the oak trees, it's been raining for days
Because the green buds are swelling
And June Bugs are crawling the yard
Hawk moths are sipping the night-blooming rose
A honey as sweet as the moon's sugar glow
The leaves of the apple tree whispering low
The stars are on fire, the nightingales moan
Because the green buds are swelling
And June Bugs are crawling the yard
