Build Your House

Be at home now
Build your own house
Birds will fly overhead
Take your hat, steal your bed
When you go out
When you go out
Bring gloves on a freezing day
The nearest shelter is miles away
When the birds flap and flutter
It won't be so easy to keep your balance
What home do you really have
If you can't find it when the birds are flocking around your head
Build your house
Build it every day
Keep the birds away
Or they will take you
Build your house
Build it every day
Keep the birds away
Or they will take you
Build your house
Build it every day
Keep the birds away
Or they will take you
Build your house
Build it every day
Keep the birds away
Or they will take you

Visions of Dreams

So long since I've been alone
My limbs of life have turned to bone
No more will i fall in love
Each time i fall to the ground from above
Liquid and flowing, i feel like a spring
Thoughts can surround me like birds waving wing
So much time spent far away from home
Time wasted sifting through sand with a comb
You would appear like a prophet in a storm
I found myself tied to my future by your form
Liquid and flowing, I feel like a spring
Thoughts can surround me like birds waving wing
Sober in lightness, my visions of dreams
Existing beside you is not what it seems

Take Your Turn

Take your turn
You were following a wave of self control and failed
It has happened to me, I know how it feels
Like losing your mind
Losing the time
Missing the ride
And you realize its passing you by
I know how it feels but it isn't the last
Take your turn
There's always another
There's always another
Always another
Always another
Always another
Once, no, twice
Just enough to make a segment of a line
That's leading you home
Now you will know when you see it again, reinforced
I've been here before
Regardless of time
Painting the sign
Take your turn
So you know
You wanted them to see right through your skin; they did
You belong to them as much as to yourself
So leave them behind
Look at your mind
Soon you will find
Love can happen with ease
It happened to me; soon you will see
Take your turn

Lost & Found

When hard times come, will you wait for the holy day?
Build up your walls three stories tall
Too high to fall
There comes a point when you will see where you went wrong
You built your house around you when the house was inside you all along
I’ll take me home
Am I home?
Memory lost and found
Pay attention
When you go back
You’re further on down the line
The comedienne got lost on the street where she grew up
On the map it showed her nothing more than lines, boxes and signs
It's not what you’d expect when you’re out on that street underneath the trees
But then again, she hadn’t made a habit of expecting much more than a wheeze
Please take me home
Am I home?
Memory lost and found
Don’t look now,
But when you go back
You’ll be further on down the line

There's Still Time

They make decisions
They form traditions, one by one
My mother's father
He dialed a rotary phone
It had its run
Still undetected
A four year habit, still sinking in
We never had to run to the wall
Get down on our hands and knees
There's still time

Cooney Thatcher Greenfield, Massachusetts
Debut album "Beginner's End" out now
Cooney Thatcher's name is derived from the matronymic names
of his family which would otherwise have been lost to the patrilineal surname tradition of his culture. In his music, he strives to achieve the same; salvaging forgotten ancestry and highlighting the path from history to a living, growing, creative presence.
