Fireflies
By Randy Adams
My Pretty Thief
Looking for a little light
Waiting on the moon to rise
You never know what you might find
In a field of fireflies
We are walking
Out among the weeds
Hear the water
The whispering of reeds
Feel the bluebells
Underneath our feet
What's the chance that I would find you?
Looking for a little light too
Looking for a little dark
A raven and a meadowlark
You never know what you might find
In a field of fireflies
In the water
We are ripples on the edge
I will taste you
Sweet apple blossom red
I will touch you
With the talons of my hear
t
What's the chance that I would find you?
Looking for a little darkness too
Looking for a little love
Counting every star above
You never know what you might find
In a field of fireflies.
Lightning Post
By Randy Adams
My Pretty Thief
Lightning on the lightning post
You’re the one I love the most
Dancing in the Sun
Shining through the cotton pressed against your skin
Through the thunder wind and rain
We are walking hand in hand
Mud between our toes
Laughing as we nudge each other down the lane
I will not wait
While the storming heart of Summer is exploding in your eyes
Dry your hair off in the Sun
Let your buttons come undone
Lean in for a kiss
Fragile as the string I tied around your wrist
I will not wait
While the stormy heart of Summer is exploding in your eyes
Sweet as you are
Siding with me
Sweet as you are
I won't miss this chance
To take You
I will not wait
While the stormy heart of Summer is exploding in your eyes
Tire swinging from a tree
Clover licking at your feet
Catbird on a limb
Reminding me that
You’re the song I want to sing
My Pretty Thief
By Randy Adams
My Pretty Thief
Such a pretty thief
To steal my heart away
Wear me like a chain around your neck
Put me close to you
That's where I want to be
Near the rising and the falling of your breath
Of all of the love we are born to suffer
I will suffer you
You ask me about love
Like I know what it is
Like I hold any evidence at all
But I can tell you this
I am staring down the sun
To touch the places where your shadow falls
Of all of the love we are born to suffer
I will suffer you
Lightning strikes
The summer heat
All the sky surrounding
Barely beats
Take this kiss
My pretty thief
To steal the taste of summer ending
Out my window here tonight
Seven sisters shining bright
A beautiful attempt
There’s no denying
But sit them next to you
And they’re just ordinary girls
Barely standing out against the sky
Of all of the love we are born to suffer
I will suffer you
Lightning strikes
The summer heat
All the sky surrounding
Barely beats
Take this kiss
My pretty thief
To steal the taste of summer ending
By the stars you grow glimmering wings
Hover near me, and I’ll tie a tethering string
By the night we are flicker and spark
Dancing spirals entwined in the dark
Awakening the dream remains
The tether tied
To you
My love
To you
Sweet pain
The grass is down to dirt
Where the footsteps of my dreams
Have worn away a path up to your door
And I can hear my pretty thief
Singing novelty and charm
From an open window on the second floor

Kissing Crows
By Randy Adams
Redbud and the Willow Tree
Tying string around our wrists
Who could ask for more than this?
One for me and one for you
We will break the sun and fly away
As kissing crows
Side by side
Together we fly
No need for sleep
No need for dreams
Tying string around our wrists
Who could ask for more than this?
One for me and one for you
We will break the sun and fly away
As kissing crows
We are born
The beating of our hearts
But beating hearts we need no more
Now that we’ve untied the thread
Loosened every knot
We will break the sun and fly away
As kissing crows
Fly away as kissing crows
Fly away
Speaking in Tongues
By Randy Adams
Redbud and the Willow Tree
The words are in my heart
My heart is always here for you
It just is as it is
Not as we imagined
Speaking in tongues
I let go of all sense of things
Speaking in tongues
I let of all sense of things
I’ve lost all sense of time
Hollowed out and empty
Doesn’t matter where I go
The sun and moon still follow me
Speaking in tongues
I let go of all sense of things
Speaking in tongues
I let go of all sense of things
Blowing in the wind
Summer leaves are holding strong
Birds singing summer songs
Just as we imagined
Speaking in tongues
I let go of all sense of things
Speaking in tongues
I let go
