lyrics

Teapot

The handle of the teapot snaps
under the watchful eye of the bear over the door
or the elegant deer
there's scurrying overhead and he says
oh the floor squeaks, oh oh oh the floor squeaks

I imagine a moth trapped in a bottle or a flickering light
under the watchful eye of the bear over the door
the mosquito can't be bothered with me
he flies past on his way to the pines
the mosquito can't be bothered with me
he flies past on his way to the pines

away from the hungry frogs
the bull frogs at night
they set up a chorus like a gang of bellowing men
in a pub after a game
they're like a gang of bellowing men in a pub or
after a game
all the hungry bull frogs

I know all the birds now
the white throated sparrow
the crow, the jay
the cardinal and the finch
they're somewhere near in the green hills
as I glide over the water like a thirsty insect

concrete of the city is far from here now
and the painted the streets are beckoning
and they hydrants turned to mist

the chipmunks guess we're just passing through and
they treat us with disdain
swinging on the bird feeder or burrowing in the grass
ah, the chipmunks guess we're just passing through and
they treat us with disdain
ah, the chipmunks guess we're just passing through and
they treat us with disdain

Daisies explode by the bridge, between the lakes
lake three and four
we walk silently together with sand in our shoes
scanning for mushrooms we won't dare eat, we're scanning for
mushrooms we won't dare eat, we're scanning for mushrooms we
won't dare to eat ...

as the daisies explode by the bridge between lakes three and four
and three and four
we walk silently together

Living creatively through jazz and intuition guides my life as a jazz singer and composer. As a Dutch-Indonesian immigrant raised in Northern Ontario, free jazz, sound poetry, and dreamwork have contributed to my creative freedom.
