Take some time -- un-wind -- unravel your mind and walk the labyrinth through -- until it brings it back to you, take some time -- un-wind -- unravel your mind -- and walk the labyrinth through -- until it brings it back to you, ---- I know you're looking for some change -- but like the desert holds the rain -- for a dry spell or two -- let me hold it here for you -- and trace these lines through what happened, -- like a topo-graphical map then feeling everything you've known let it bring you right back home

The Puzzle
by Patchouli
The moon ---- rests ---- in a bowl of stars to-night and
I write into the wind -- and the words blow in letter by letter andYou, -- you are some-where that we used to share
Now we're looking at the same big moon
We're looking at the same bright stars
And we just see it different-ly, ------ like a puzzle fits to-gether
Staring at the same blue sky
We're sitting on the same big earth
And we just see it different-ly, different birds different feathers
He ---- left for overseas ---- and he took the family with him and
She sits and waits until the kids are a-sleep to wonder -- if
she stays up late, can she still paint her-self in the picture ---------
That they're looking at the same big moon
They're looking at the same bright stars
And they just see it different-ly, ------ like a puzzle fits to-gether
Staring at the same blue sky
They're sitting on the same big earth
And they just see it different-ly, different birds different feathers

Double Shifts at the Spanish Main
Words and music by Andy Getch and Becky Warren
A F#m D A
“I got customers,” she tells them, when they wanna buy her a drink
A B7 D A
With each glass they down they throw their money around and hit the tip jar with a wink
C#7
They got tan lines where their rings should be
F#m B7
Saccharine in their pleas
Bm F#m D A
The ropes and the rivets at the Spanish Main open their hearts like a master key
CHORUS:
E D A
The old men say, “Hey Betsy, lemme take you away”
E D A
“I got a hotel room with a beach side view and twenty dollar bills for days”
Bm F#m
She just laughs when they start playin’
A G D
Actin’ like she’s the one who needs saving
E A G D
From double shifts at the Spanish Main
E A G D
Double shifts at the Spanish Main
She used to let em think she was thinking it over, now she don’t need tips that much
She’s got a man who works days near the Everglades and she and him do well enough
But the Cadillacs keep pulling up
Full of men who call her Buttercup
So she pours ‘em another and brings em their supper and keeps her own mouth shut

Mare Wakefield and Nomad - The First Poet On The Moon
Words and music by Mare Wakefield and Kate Klim (Maresie Music, BMI)
[C] The first poet on the [G] moon, Looked up and saw the [Fmaj7/C] earth rise [C]
Kinda like a [Fmaj7/C] sunrise [C] , In shades of green and [G] blue
Just like your eyes, and she didn’t have a [Fmaj7/C] speech planned [C]
She didn’t have a [Fmaj7/C] flag to plant [C], She came there for the [G] view
And she [C] knew, knew that words would never [G] do
Not when everything that’s [Am] true was a million miles a [Fmaj7/C] way
So she [C] learned, to see the world and watch it [G] turn
While we spin and while we [Am] burn from a million miles a [Fmaj7/C] way
[C] The first poet on the [G] moon, that’s what I felt like [Fmaj7/C] last night [C]
Gazing at the [Fmaj7/C] starlight [C], trying to talk to [G] you
I sent up, My satellites and [Fmaj7/C] rockets [C]
A compass in my [Fmaj7/C] pocket [C] , But am I getting [G] through
And I [C] know, part of life is letting [G] go
But it’s out of my con [Am] trol, when you’re a million miles a [Fmaj7/C] way
So I’ll [C] learn, to see the world and watch it [G] turn
While we spin and while we [Am] burn from a million miles a [Fmaj7/C] way
[C2] Astronauts and scientists, [Fmaj7/C] say we all are made of stardust
[C2] Galaxies inside of us just, [Fmaj7/C] longing for connection
Like we [C] knew, words would never [G] do
When everything that’s [Am] true is a million miles a [Fmaj7/C] way
So we [C] learn, to see the world and watch it [G] turn
While we spin and while we [Am] burn from a million miles a [Fmaj7/C] way
You’re a million miles away [Cadd9] , you’re a million miles away [G]
You’re a million miles away [Am]
[Fmaj7/C] And I’m a poet on the [C] moon

Yesterday retracing
C
When I sit down on my pillow
Am
It’s time to breath
G
I reach into myself
F
I dive deep down into me
C Am
I wanna know who I am and the person I’ve become
F G C
I wanna be the one that I should be
Verse 3:
When I close my eyes
My mind goes to the past
My mind goes to the past
When I wake up in the morning
I teach my mind not to worry
When I watch my breath
I bring peace into myself
I bring peace into myself
I calm down my thoughts
When I get stuck in the past
