I need a big, big bed To save the dreams that I've dreamt Catch them in this linen net and keep them so I don't forget. I've seen my auntie's bed, she lives in Amarillo, There's room to lie down, but there ain't no room to spare So Auntie's dreams rolled to the floor and got lost in the night. I don't believe her when she says she don't mind. Better make my ceilings high And keep the windows open deep into the night Because I'll float up and cast off the sheets And drift into the midnight trees. When he's here, my bed's going to have to be bigger. 'Cause my love runs wide, my love runs wider than a Texas river. I want the whole cake I won't settle for the crumbs Give me room to the side and room up above because I'm in such a big, big love It's just too big to fall out of! When he's here, my bed's going to have to be bigger. 'Cause my love runs wide, my love runs wider than a Texas river.

On the Moon 05:21
There's no wind a-blowing on the moon There's no garden growing on the moon You won't hear what I say from so far away What a distance there can be between two rooms. I know you keep your heart safe and out of sight But aren't you lonely way out on that satellite? My instruments of war, they're too heavy anymore. My heart would break with the weight of one more fight. So I'm out on the moon Feels like I'm on the moon. Might as well be on the moon. They say the moon was torn from the earth Long time before we came. The hole it left became a deep, blue sea. Now the moon's dry as a bone White and hard as stone. Even with you next to me, I feel all alone.

The sound of his voice Could make a fire in my head Now the wind blows cold Through a hole in my chest. No good can come of a rootbound love But look at me now I'm all undone. I was bound to him by strings of love And I found myself tangled up. Paper, scissors, string and stone Thought I knew how this love would go Paper, scissors, stone and string Love don't come on a guarantee. The sun comes up I cover my head Now tell me why I ought to get out of bed Five days out of seven I've got somewhere to be But Saturday and Sunday I drift way out to sea

I can read and I can spell Learned it between schoolyard bells Teacher did and Teacher said and put the language in my head. Spanish, French, Vietnamese German, Dutch and Cherokee If I had learned to speak all these Still there'd be this missing piece. But you must never wonder why I so like to be by your side My heart says a thing and you understand You cross the bridge, you speak my language. I may speak with eloquence But the listener just seems rendered deaf Looks at me as if I'm dumb Despite the common idiom But you must never wonder why I so like to be by your side My heart says a thing and you understand You cross the bridge, you speak my language.
