bittersweet he threw his pipes over the edge he sighed and felt no worse he never could make up his mind are they a blessing or a curse he just drank down his second pint when a boy rushed in and cried look here i found your blessed pipes down by the waterside isn't life just like the autumn air it's bitter and it's sweet i will never understand it all but that's alright with me she tells herself she'll be okay this feeling it will pass she pours herself another drink and stares into the glass her heart is like the swelling moon that's sinking in the sky she says if i don't tell somebody soon i swear i'm gonna cry isn't life just like the autumn air it's bitter and it's sweet i will never understand it all but that's alright with me he walks around in silent rooms he always sees her face he slips into a chilly bed another in her place he waits for dreams to take him out to a boat down on the lake where everything is as it was before his big mistake isn't life just like the autumn air it's bitter and it's sweet i will never understand it all but that's alright with me cause i came down from the mountain and i crawled out of the sea i will never understand it all but that's alright with me k.savoca © 1999 Alcove Music/BMIpete heitzman - mandolin

wide and deep under the skin of the land body of the earth speaks to him he understands he knows what it's worth to live a life that's wide and deep to know the things he can and cannot keep moon swallows sun dogs howl in the night she runs to him she runs like a bird in flight she lives her life both wide and deep she knows the things she can and cannot keep under her skin body of his love she calls to him again he knows it's enough to live a life that's wide and deep to know the things they can and cannot keep to live a life that's wide and deep k.savoca © 1999 Alcove Music/BMIpete heitzman - guitars, mandolin, essie's bell, autoharps

runnin' she saw you sneakin' off just before the break of dawn she watched you through the window as you pulled away with no headlights on she felt a little relieved she felt a little sad she thought you shoulda stuck around and then she just felt had you've been runnin' all your life you don't need nobody's help you've been runnin' all this time you don't need nobody else there's a string of diners up and down the coast you've got nicknames for the waitresses they know you like your eggs on toast some of them are married some gave up long ago some'll meet you out behind the kitchen when their shift is over you've been runnin' you know i used to love you and i was sure you loved me too i used to fantasize we'd live like other people do i loved your awful sneer loved your crumpled clothes one day i saw you walkin out like some late night movie ghost you've been runnin' next time you're sneakin' off just before the break of dawn say a prayer for the girl you leave where the blinds are drawn she'll feel a little colder she'll feel a little sad she'll hope to god when she gets older it won't hurt so bad you've been runnin' all your life you don't need nobody's help you've been runnin' all this time you don't need nobody else k.savoca © 1999 Alcove Music/BMIpete heitzman - guitars

woman in a frame
julia margaret dress me up in red
i wanna be a woman in a picture
hey julia how i love your name
i wanna be a woman in your frame
katharine houghton with the starlight smile
i'd love to talk to you
oh katherine there's no way to tell
how many women you led away from that old well
and i believe it won't be long
i can feel we're getting stronger
i believe it won't be long
till we're singing together
maria felice you're the one who brought me life
you taught me love is the only way to survive
maria you couldn't give me more
i'm like an ocean and you're like the shore
well i believe it won't be long
i can feel we're getting stronger
i believe it won't be long
till we're singing together
libera schiavone i wish that you were here
you were alone for many a hard year
libera no shadow of a man
will ever keep me from doing what i can
if i have a daughter i'll bless her with your name
her world or mine will never be the same
and as she grows we'll call her liberty
one day she'll know what a fight to be free
i believe it won't be long
and i can feel we're getting stronger
all our hearts will beat like one
singing together
k.savoca
