lyrics

I was dancing with the doorbells laying in the light
Standing in the shadows and kneeling with the night
Watching thru the water spring and blinking with the bay
Making music memories I hear the heron say

chorus
I was talking to the taller man
i was talking oh hum
i was talking to the taller man
I was talking oh so hum

now I'm easing in the doorway and roaming with the raven
waiting for the albatross to show me to heaven
forgetting all the reasons i knew you sat beside me
imagining the irony for love to happen blind

chorus

Now I'm waiting for the whirly bird the circus is in town
buddha's belly goes laughing as the people gather round
smoke is rising from the sanctuary i heard the drifter say
whiskey is watching from the inside
i hear the mandolin play

chorus

He said to me you are becoming highly realized
do not question your own sanity the truth is in the eyes
the shepherd sleeps at sunset forgetting what was gone
do not seek what you are asking for and know that the road goes on

Just keep talking to the taller man
just keep talking oh hum
just keep talking to the taller man
just keep talking
oh so hum

Each song is different and stands on its own, but can be generally categorized as funny and quirky, complex, emotional, and reflective. There is wonderful imagery in her poetry that stimulates one's imagination and it can be very moving in a positive sense. It is sometimes a challenge to capture and comprehend the multiple meanings of some of her verse, but it's worth the effort.
