Fiddlehead © 2003 Janet Patch and Jeff Patch (written May 9) She moves as if in tadasana stretching toward the light Emerging from the crush of winter from the darkness of the earth She unfurls Delighting as the sun dances on her limbs She breathes, reaches out Spring begins, spring begins She knows as if on hallowed ground she's born to do what's right Pushing through the ice-packed litter yearning for the sky She unfurls Delighting as the sun dances on her limbs She breathes, reaches out Spring begins, spring begins BREAK She unfurls Delighting as the sun dances on her limbs She breathes, reaches out Spring begins, spring begins She moves as if in tadasana stretching toward the light Emerging from the crush of winter from the darkness of the earth She unfurls Delighting as the sun dances on her limbs She breathes, reaches out Spring begins, spring begins She unfurls Delighting as the sun dances on her limbs She breathes, reaches out Spring begins, spring begins

Catherine Ann © Jeff Patch 2001 (written October 31) I haven't seen you since I saw you waiting tables Or was it cashing someones cheque at the Bank of Nova Scotia I hadn't held you since you brought me flowers A housewarming present in 1998 I saw your Dad a few years later He said you went to Halifax, that you had to get away My friend John, he saw you at the Mardi Gras Thought you looked sad, thought you missed me But Catherine Ann are you happy I want to know you're OK Catherine Ann if you wonder I want you to know I'm OK I used to visit Halifax, looked for you in the streets Never found your name in the phone book I saw someone like you, down by historic properties Summer 2002, she was pushing s baby carriage Now it's 2014 and I've just been to Halifax Still walking down the street I kept an eye out for you Now this don't mean that I still love you That torch went out a long time ago But Catherine Ann are you happy I want to know you're OK Catherine Ann if you wonder I want you to know I'm OK But Catherine Ann I hope you're happy That life's been going your way Catherine Ann I hope you wonder 'bout me sometimes, some days Catherine Ann

Wash The Dishes 03:25

Wash the Dishes © 2013 Jeff Patch (written in April) Just wash the dishes
 Get 'em done in time
 Stop yer clock watching
 She'll be home at five 
And you know she won't be happy
 If there's a mess when she gets home Put away the vacuum
 and fold the clothes
 Mop the bathroom floor
 Put that guitar where it goes 'Cause you know she won't be happy
 If there's a mess when she gets home 
I love her dearly
 Wanna please her so 
She's everything I got
 and I don't want her to go Take out the laundry
 Put it on the line
 Clean out the bathtub 
and scrub the tiles 'Cause you know she won't be happy 
If there's a mess when she gets home Break: Take out the garbage Rake up the Lawn Mow the grass and put the kettle on 'Cause you know she won't be happy 
If there's a mess when she gets home 
I love her dearly
 Wanna please her so
 She's everything I got 
and I don't want her to go Just weed the garden and wash the car Feed the critters Put the dinner on And you know that she'll be happy 'Cause there's no mess when she gets home Just Wash the Dishes Just Wash the Dishes Just Wash the Dishes Just Wash the Dishes And honey, mow that lawn

Be Happy © Jeff Patch 2014 (written February 3) I like to see you smile at me Makes me happy I love your pretty face and our place out in the country I enjoy our laid back style how we like it quiet taking in nature And when you get home and put on your cozy fleecy clothes and we get the fire really going and together we stay warm You're gentle and kind and keep in mind the needs of others I like the things you write you bring it to life and stir emotion So take these clumsy words of mine into your heart and be happy

Angel in the Snow © 2002 Jeff Patch (written February 2) I said "My little one, watch where you go." "Bye" said the pretty one, "Be careful, I know." Off she goes down the road Blowing cold, lots of snow I look up, she's overhead I know There she goes Angel in the snow Flying low Angel in the snow Winter drive from Chipman with ice on the road We said "Goodbye Edwin," then we had to go home in the dark caught behind load of popple going stateside There ahead she finds the sign and she knows There, there in the load Angel in the snow Flying low Angel in the snow There she goes Angel in the snow Flying low Angel, take us home

All About You © 1994 Jeff Patch (written August 28) You told me last time The feeling's lost inside You say it's all about you but that's not true You see, because I love you it's about me too You wanted some space awhile Just a two or three week trial I watched you drive away No look back, no wave I thought you'd call today Two weeks gone yesterday How much time must pass to know you're gone at last? When I can I'll move on Right now I can't accept you're gone But if sometime that might change You can call me anyway You say it's all about you but that's not true You see, because I love you it's about me too

Wait For The Light 03:35

Wait For The Light © 1994 Jeff Patch (written July 24-25) Wishing, watching, softly sigh and turn around Inside, waiting, debating, I sit down I didn't know you wouldn't show, I thought you'd come around Summer heat's got me beat, finally getting down Whispering trees, the midnight breeze, the moon lights up the ground Beauty there that should be shared, lately I've found That simple things have come to mean much more to me now I wouldn't mind but all the time I'm finding out how I could have loved you now Where were you tonight? I think we lost it somehow Alone I wait for the light Hot summer sounds surround me muted in the humid air I'll toss and turn but sleep would come easier if I knew you cared I'm trying to wind down so I can lay down tonight But I won't go so I know I'll likely see the morning light I could have loved you now Where were you tonight? I think we lost it somehow Alone I wait for the light

Imperfection 03:56

Imperfection © Jeff Patch 2013 (written December 9) In a time of quiet reflection I know she's perfect in her imperfection Seeming to need some kind of intervention Ahhh no I'll let it flow 'Til we're home again Strong but bending, got resilience Sometimes dim, but often brilliant Forgiving when it makes no sense I'll try and let it ride 'Til we're home again Like the ocean and all its' mystery and all the storms that crash upon me None can ever understand perfectly I'll be steady for when I'm ready to go home again BREAK Through lonely times and with companions When you're lost and when you're found again Think of the one,think of the millions Many know they want to go See home again

Career Track 05:34

Career Track © Jeff Patch 1983 Sea-blue eyes Light brown hair I always thought you would be there A carefree time And I knew you loved me then Something special felt inside Chorus: And I know I love you And I miss you all the time And I know I need you I thought you'd be there for all time Dune buggy drives Surprises in my lunch each day I see the sparkle in your eyes Antique chairs Flowers on the table Did someone wait for me each night? Long distance calls Something tried and failed An empty bed and thin veiled lies Career track Was it worth it then? What if we hadn't moved apart? Repeat Chorus

She Got There © 1995 Jeff Patch (written December 13) First denied Passed the time Let it ride Then decide Enough My love Knots inside Heartbeat rise Heavy sighs Damaged cries My love Enough Took me through those times Shook them loose inside Went where others tried But she got there Unseen squeeze in the brain Anxious, low, emotions lame Cave ridden, not the same Frequent, building up again Enough My love Took me through those times Shook them loose inside Went where others tried But she got there Driving down the road Things told Still taunt you You know not where to go Thoughts so cold They haunt you

Ghost Man 04:29

Ghost Man © 2001 Jeff Patch (written July 14-15) They call him "Wild Man of the Woods" a spirit and a ghostly thing Lurking and stalking through the forest while he's planting ghostly trees Oh no dear, no don't you touch them or a ghost you will be Don't be like those who met the devil ships and then caught their disease Alone on the Nootka shore there was a man who walked so proud On his head he wore a wooden mask that was coloured bright and loud Out to sea a whale was seen with harpoons in it tall as trees He climbed into his dugout canoe and paddled out, what did he see? Captain Cook came ashore from his tall ship from the South Seas Searching for a Northwest Passage going from the west to the east Oh the year was 1778, but it was far from Halifax pier Russians, Americans. Spanish, the English made claims to the land so dear And now the Ghost Man's children sell trinkets by the sea Carving hand held images they used to cut in tall trees Look for the Raven, the Wolf, the Thunderbird, they all can be seen And look for the Wild Man of the Woods, a Ghost Man he'll be Ghost Man, Ghost Man, Ghost Man

Has It All Gone Mad?
lyrics
What I read, what I see, confounds me And the sounds that swirl around, they astound me Unmet needs and misguided deeds, alarm me All have heard venomous words, they harm me Must I breathe this air Chorus You out there, do you care? Are you gone? I don’t hear and I fear I’m alone Has it all gone mad? Has it all gone mad? Sad news, radical views, surround me Tried to flee oh no but they found me Bells toll and lost souls reach behind me In the alley below an old woman is crying Must I breathe this air Chorus You out there, do you care? Are you gone? I don’t hear and I fear I’m alone Has it all gone mad? Has it all gone mad? Has it all gone mad? Has it all gone mad?
