1. Domesticity Song (2006)                (top)

oh in these days i woke beside you
held in the sunlight coming through
planning my day all around you
waiting for you

making the eggs and the coffee
just like the way you taught me too
planning our days forever
waiting for you

but it's cold now in the city
when your only love is gone
yeah it's cold out in the city
when it's all said and done

2. Finding a Woman (2003)                          (top)
(the second track on Kristin's 2006 solo album Ports of Call, but a previous recording was featured in the 2003 film What Alice Found)

i have been my mother's need
my father's way back home
and the days that happened to me
are the days that i won't know

i have seen your head break clean
red bottles of envy and love
in a city made for noone to be beautiful enough
i am finding a woman
who will be my friend

and the days you've interest in arms to hold
sweet syllables in your ears
far away has taken you so long
and so far away from here

i have seen you banging in your dreams
you whip and holler unknown
in the minutes made of sunbeams, the hours made of stone
i am finding a woman
who will be my friend

3. Five Cents (2006)                          (top)

five cents and dollar bills
what's that i squandered up in those hills
high as an angel's fall
sweet as a rose

i left you on my street where you were
letting your stare fall down to the curb
and justa as i feel i watched it undone

oh mother you keep me
further along than you lead me
i waited so long to be all on my own

tight cornered rides all red faced and drunk
lanes on a highway i raced to grow up
a few i had plenty of watchers to hide from
with love like a belly rolled into view
with sweet heavy sighs that we gave and we used
to make us feel wise enought to make us feel strong

and all day we spin
you turn around when i lean in
waited so long to be all on our own
i don't want to go home
i don't want to go

4. Home (2006)                (top)

staring out to see will you come home?
i'm walking backwards, on the tips of my toes
you're rowing faster, but where is your home?

can i wake you up late at night
loosen my tongue, til it's undone?

can I come to you late at night
when it's all wrong, when it's all wrong?

i'm walking backwards, on the tips of my toes
you're running faster, but where is your home?

calling out to see will you come home?

5. Sweet Love (2006)                          (top)

sweet love where have you gone?
cause you've been rambling out there far to long
sweet love where is your home?
cause you've been travelling out there far too long

and sometimes it feels like
there's no more sweetness to my soul
and sometimes it feels like
there's no more love for my soul

sweet love where have you gone?
cause you've been rambling out there far too long

6. Liberty State Park (2006)                          (top)

You are an old friend a beautifully odd man
and being with you is fine time
laying on blankets in shadows of trees
you touching me all the time

me in my city a blue sky over me
you sweetly reading with my head upon your knee
with my hand in your hand

movement surrounds us, into stillness we lean
taking view of the the skyline
smiling and honest our day without end
just made me feel satisfied

me in my city a blue sky over me
you sweetly reading with my head upon your knee
with my hand in your hand

7. Wash-A-Shore (2006)                          (top)

i fell in love
with a salt water girl
in a sun-soaked dream

she laid me on my back
leaving sand in my hair
and a shadow over me

while an old salty wind just kept blowin
til' I only want to go where she's going

and the sweethearted words
that she rings in my ears
she loves me, she loves me

so i'm sounding off my prayer
to be always holding her there
on a blanket beside the sea

while that old salty ind just keeps blowing
cause i only want to go where she's going

i fell in love
with a salt water girl
in a sun-soaked dream

8. Hopefully (2006)                (top)

and hopefully it's done
and all these words are in the past
hopefully you'll know
i'm sorry it made you sad

but my love is all i've got
to be myself
and my love is all I have
to feel who i am

and hopefully we'll grow
and see it eye to eye
hopefully it won't be so sad

cause my love is so sweet
and my love can be so kind
my love feels so alive
my love you'd understand, you'd understand

When You're Around (2003)                        (top)
(as featured on CD "I'm with Cupid" from WIAIWYA)

it always comes when you're around
the sweetness of what is surrounding me
my head is lost and leaking
these gentle thoughts of you
my eyes are slowly blinking me to come to.

and the ocean star that i see
losening your heart to be free, for me
and the waves are long and leaning
into quiet afternoons
and the achiness is dreaming me of you

Fortunes (2001)                (top)

dirty and homeless and wanting my love
i played all my fortunes to follow this dove
i waited on platforms for trains to come by
sleeping in corner rooms wondering why

when i know that it's only a blind-fold disease
that leaves me so lonely and treats me so mean
with it's mystery that still just confuses my heart
til i ain't so sure that i played any part
worth any worry or worth any fuss
or made for feather away all it's dust

still i search for a heaven to hold in my arms
but i just end up cheatin' on voodoo and stars
and asking forgiveness and old dollar bills
and looking out sideways from some window sill

feeling forgotten. i am, feeling forgotten

still i search for a heaven to hold in my arms
