Beach Ball 03:05
Beach Ball I was there yesterday, I waited for you at the cafe Didn’t sleep that night, but even after a certain point Regrets can’t be helped, you have to try and free yourself I tried to hold us like a beach ball babe But with no hands no fingers a mistake A fake a fake, I fade I fade About what you've missed, Id say your mission’s accomplished It’s just like you said everything just ends up dead I remember it now, a happy day and I don't know how I tried to hold us like a beach ball babe But with no hands no fingers a mistake A fake a fake, I fade I fade I've missed you but I’m mad, admitting importance to all that we had Ill still write to you, but the pink is black and the paper’s blue I tried to hold us like a beach ball babe But with no hands no fingers a mistake A fake a fake, I fade I fade

Greenleaf 03:42
Greenleaf I’ve lived here a long time I don't rely on anyone If I wanna get a job done I have to do it by myself My blood is far away but in the same house My neighbor thinks I’m hysterical but I just have to protect myself I live on an island of grass in a house that I keep clean You know my husbands dead and he left it to me I’m not hysterical I just need you to do something for me I struggle and I sweat but I never get what I want to get Help me, please Never thought I’d die like this Outside in disbelief at sunset The beast has pierced my heart and im paralyzed by fear Please get down on your knees and whisper in my ear I’m not hysterical I just need you to do something for me I struggle and I sweat but I never get what I want to get Help me, please

Third Floor 04:41
Third Floor Oh as the days move by just above the telephone lines And I see just how quickly things change but some things are still the same The crosswalks from above look like zippers on the asphalt And the birds they are not above they are gliding the same altitude as us The doug firs and the pine tree tops on the hills that are surrounding us Let off steam as if they're on fire But the cool rain makes the fog drift higher and higher The rooftops all dusted with moss and the people we look down upon And their chimneys and their windows Its a view that we will miss when we are back down below

Dearest Dear 03:51
Dearest Dear Oh dearest dear the time draws near when you and I must part And no one knows the inner grief of my poor aching heart Just to see how I suffered for your sake You are my love so dear I’d rather I could go with you or you could tarry here I wish my breast was made of glass and in it i’d behold Your name in secret I would write in letters of bright gold Your name in secret I would write Pray believe me when I say That you're the one that I love best until my dying day And when you're on some distant shore think on your absent friend And when the wind blows high and clear a line or two pray send And when the wind blows high and clear Pray send it love to me That I should know by your hand write how times have gone with thee

about

Shelley Short Portland, Oregon

I like to write them, sing
them, and listen - all the way back to a long time ago. I think it’s all worth it, anyway.
