Something wild inside won’t keep still —
He doesn’t know its name, he never will –
He can’t afford that joy, can’t abide that pain…
He lies awake at night and listens to the rain.

Baby, I’m blue…nobody’s bluer.
Don’t mean aqua, don’t mean azure.
Just plain blue, that’s my color.
I don’t get brighter, don’t get duller…

for Central Park Earth Day, 1989; lyrics, Tunstall; music, Donald Johnston (vocal, Lee Roy Reams)

Close your eyes..sleep will come, when you stop trying to sleep.
Close your eyes…dreams begin when you stop counting your sheep.
Lose your troubles and take your time, there’s nothing for you to do.
You don’t have to go to sleep, you know…it’s ready to come to you…
by Tricia Tunstall, lyrics, and Wolfgang Lackerschmid, music; featuring Ronnell Bey, vocal, and Lawrence Feldman, saxophone (New Singers, New Songs 1993)
