Honey Baby

Come on Honey Baby, I’ll be your step
I’ll lay here on the ground as up you get
Or climb onto my shoulders and reach real high
I will stand still here and I won’t ask why
Come on Honey Baby, I’ll nurture you
Hold you like a child and kiss your bruise
I’ll wake you up from nightmares and rub your feet
I can see how sad you have been
So take from my abundance, from my gifted store
I am fading out now and you need more
And if you’ll never love me, or’ll fall in and out
Don’t worry at all about it, it don’t matter now
And when it’s time to leave me, don’t hesitate
I was only made to make you great
And if I sound bitter then shame on me
I’m just a tired old man, you should be free
To go and find a boy who’ll satisfy you
Someone you can show off with no shame or blues
Someone who can swim in this judgey crowd
I can see my limits much more clearly now
Go on Honey Baby, sparkle up your life
Socially invincible, the height of all delights
Capture their attention that you crave so hard
I’ll take the ground, you can have the stars
But if you grow at all while in my care
And learn a little more what’s out there
I’ll count it as a blessing your footprint’s my own
Even if all I am is a stepping stone
Go on Honey Baby, I’ll be your tune
Play me and change me and deceive me too
Call it what you want I’ll accept it plain
Good or bad when you fly in I’ll sing the same
Go on Honey Baby
Go on
Go on Honey Baby, oh I love you
It’ll break and be ruined no matter what I do
Go on

Moony and Moody
03:56
|

If it is moony
If it is starlit
If it is moody, romantic and jealous
If it is dreamy
Not realistic
If it is beauty and restless, pathetic
Then it is like me
Then it is like us
And it is broken and waylaid and perfect
If it’s in prairies
And phosphorescence
If it’s in treetops and grasslands and mountains
If it’s in buildings
Big busy places
And if it carries from water to faces
Then it is in me
Then it is in you
And it’s touching all we see and all we do
If it’s not simple
But clearly there
If it has struggles and laughter, despair
If it is caring
Warmer than sunshine
If it goes from sour to ugly, divine
Then we both know it
Then we have shown it
And whatever it wasn’t can’t touch it

Weekend Fix

You’re my Weekend Fix
You’re the friend who counts
You’re the one I think of
When the ups have gone down
You’re the sweetest thing
In my whole life
You never fail me
You’re the same every time
You’re my Summer love
And my Winter smile
You numb all of my bruises
In such a wonderful style
You’re a breath of air
The best around
You make despair
A much softer sound
And I’m a bit rough around the edges
But you smooth all of those out
When I’m lonely in the fringes
I know you’re there without a doubt
My Weekend Fix
You don’t desert me
And I’ll never let you go
Myself
You’re a special treat
And an every day
You’re a lovely taste of what it’s like
To get away
You make the sun shine more
You tell me what I want
You give me what I need
So what I need I got
And I'm a bit rough around the edges
But you smooth all of those out
When I'm lonely in the fringes
I know you're there without a doubt
My Weekend Fix
You don't desert me
And I'll never let you go
My Weekend Fix
You don't desert me
And I'd never let you go
My Weekend Fix
You don't desert me
And I'd never let you go
Myself

You Really Love Me
02:56
|

|
You really love me
Don’t you
You really need me to be
Who I am for
You really see me
Don't you
For all that I am
And you still want to stay with me
You really love me
You really do
You really love me
Don’t you
Not some idea or thought
But the real me
You really need me
Don’t you
In a way that is beautiful to feel
And to give
You really love me
You really do
And I’ll try
To understand
And appreciate
What that means
Cause I really love you
I really love you
I do
Just like this
Oh, I really love you

Drop on a Leaf
04:26
|

|
I wish you’d hold me close
And empty out your fears
We could watch ‘em smoke and burn
And watch them disappear
I’m here to listen now
Go on and make your sounds
I’m hanging on your words
Every one
Never have I been so pure
I exist nowhere but here
Are you here with me, my dear
Or is this one of those
Uneven things that I’ve heard about
I don’t care
I don’t wanna change the way I feel
I wanna feed it
Love shines in me
Like gathering droplets on a leaf
Ready to fall in
To the ocean of my dreams
Would you join me
If you knew me
If you knew
If you felt what I did too
I wish you’d see me too
And listen to my soul
We could hear it sparkle and
Start to glow
I stand here beautiful
Even if I am unseen
I just don’t know why you make
Me feel so clean

Lucas Penner Penticton, British Columbia
BC-based result of a Bon Iver and Tom Waits collab.
Lucas Penner recommends:
The Study of Animal Magicality
by My Boy Rascal
Seven Magical tracks by my friend Colby Ramsay, aka My Boy Rascal. Soul searching lyrics and lush arrangements, he even engineered the whole thing himself! You won't regret paying attention.
