She was a payroll hunny
Wanted a blonde beehive
For her wedding day
Cause you might as well try
He drove a Cadillac
In a cherry red
Had his hair slicked back
But there was something to be said for
Judy
Give me a reason
Judy
Something to believe in
Under the disco ball
Holding silver shoes
From her tired feet
But she was feeling brand new
And a baby waits
Only ten weeks old
They drove all night
A new mother’s gonna hold her
Judy
Give me a reason
Judy
Something to believe in
Judy
Something to believe in
I fly I get so high
Somebody tell me
My heroes in the sky
In marigolds she held me
I fly in dreams at night
Somebody tell me
My heroes in the sky
All on the fireweed
Judy
Give me a reason
Judy
Something to believe in

Nobody's Fool
03:16

My mood into Parisian streets
The wet of rain she falls down on me
All the things that we do and say
Why do we gotta fight
Do we gotta waste our time trying to fall in love
Lets ride
Only if the feelings right and you’re ready to go
When the sun goes down and I think of you
When i am in these clouds and I am nobody’s fool
You can see me now no I can’t keep you down
When I’m alone with you now I’m nobody’s fool
All the things that we do and say
And why carry this load
It’s a crime
Not to see where you might go in time
I will find
A better place for you
In my mind
Do you say
All the things that we do and say
A heron falls right into your arms
It’s the second chance you’ve been asking for
It’s the complicated mask you made
Don’t be a bird locked in a cage
All the things that we do and say
(Gonna make ya)

Easy Come, Easy Go
03:04

They say live laugh and love
But I ain’t laughing
And this ain’t no living
Without your love
They say that you gotta dance
Like nobody’s watching
Well nobody’s watching
And I’m still alone
The old ways we talked about love
That don’t impress me much
Now that you’re gone
And cliches are never enough
But the moment we touched
I got swept away
Like they say
Easy come, easy go
They say what doesn’t kill you
Just makes you stronger
But I am not stronger
And I’m still undone
They say you just gotta smile
But I can’t compromise
My state of mind
Keep calm and carry on
The old ways we talked about love
Doesn’t impress me much
Now that you’re gone
And cliches are never enough
But the moment we touched
I got swept away
Like they say
Easy come, easy go
Easy come easy go now
But time’s moving slow
I leave my heart at the door
When we talk about love
Easy come easy go
Talk is cheap and it’s sold out
I’m ready to fold
When we talk about love
Like they say
Easy come, easy go
Like they say
Easy come, easy go

All Of This Time
03:14
|

All of the time I spend alone
Hoping to hear a song
Don’t tell me now it’s all in vain
That it’s wrong
All of this time I spend alone
Waiting to hear your call
Slowing it down could do no wrong
None at all
Now it’s not so clear
What would keep me here
We had it all
Hard to find a way
Nothing much to say
That says it all
What have we done to end up here
Feelings I have to hide
Telling ourselves we’ll be alright
If we try
Now it’s not so clear
What would keep me here
We had it all
Hard to find a way
Nothing much to say
That says it all

Cooled me down like the dead of the winter
Froze me at the center
The lines all a blur
You were always aloof like a winner
Just letting me linger around and then
Suddenly, they’re playing Joni’s Both Sides at the bar
You mentioned you liked her guitar
I said “how about mine?”
Was it just a matter of time?
‘Till you sang out in the street
And you whispered in the cab
And you revealed yourself
Filled our boots like the life of a party
Unaware what we’d started
The lines all a blur
You were always a champ in the morning
Cooled out the storm in me, and then
Suddenly, I’m strung out in Old Montréal
I needed arms into which I could fall
You said “how about mine?”
Was it just a matter of time?
‘Till you held me on the phone
And you danced me in the field
And we made ourselves a home
Hid your smokes up in the fridge
And you blew my fucking mind
Like a million goddamn times
Playing records on both sides
Now we’re dancing in the evenings
Collapsing in the basement
Racking up the ways
That we reveal ourselves

How I Loved You
04:33
|
|||
First time I saw you dancing underneath the neon lights
I hear your melodies from far and wide all through the night
I carried you inside the secret place in my mind
I gave you every chance
How I loved you
My romance
How I loved you
I whisper softly to you everything i am
I trusted all my demons held em in your hands
And when I stepped away
Everything felt out of place
Wrap your arms around my pain
Slowly feel it melt away
How I loved you
Sun beams fall
All around you
I will try not to think
There was something I could do
I gave it all my might
To keep you on my side
But there’s no truth
Looking back without you
How I loved you
I complain about your stupid heart
You got me all crazy
Am I so vain
Am I back to the start
You got me so crazy
(How I was saving the best part of me, got me so crazy)
How I loved you

Wearing a lions mane
In dress from the eighties
She cut you like stained glass
Til you fell out of the frame
It was a secret disaster
I was sitting on your knee
I was just a kid then
But i wanted more daddy
It's a long way back
If you don't believe
Where you go
I see it coming
I will find you
When the shadows speak
When you come around
There’ll be no chains around me
You always had a new car
Driving from the window
Big house with the front yard
You were god from the get go
Mama always loved you
And she carried it on her back
Everybody shouting
Trying to claim but they lost track
It's a long way back
If you don't believe
Where you go
I see it coming
I will find you
When the shadows speak
When you come around
There’ll be no chains around me
Doubled up in beds
After you up and left
That’s what you did
That’s what you did
I waited up in my bed
After you left
That’s what I did
That’s what I did
Now that I’m older
And I know what I know
I’m gonna tuck my kids in at night
Gonna be there for the morning glow
Maybe you were never there
When I needed you most
But I’m the woman that you made and I gotta be fair
So I gotta say thank you
It's a long way back
If you don't believe
Where you go
I see it coming
I will find you
When the shadows speak
When you come around
There’ll be no chains around me

One Hit Wonders

Hey Ladies and gentlemen
Theys and thems
Let me whisper in your ear once more
You don’t gotta have attitude
You gotta show your gratitude
No matter what the doctor ordered
Keep your head up in the sky
Eye on the prize
Someday you’re gonna be free
Catch a ride with me in my brand new
Second hand black two thousand seventeen
If its not picking me up
Then I’m burning it down
In the the ash is where I will be found
And another thing that you can’t tell
I can see through the way that you talk to me
I flash you my smile
There’s a twinkle in my eye
But there’s something that you can’t see
All the places that I been
And the people that I’ve seen
And couple of you have done me wrong
You one hit wonders wondering how I’ve been doing this for so long
If its not picking me up
Then I’m burning it down
In the the ash is where I will be found
It’s been a while since I’ve seen you smiling
You’ve got a hold on me
It’s been a while I’m taking my time
Just to figure out what you mean to me
Do you think about me every now and then baby
Wine on a saturday night
Take back all the times you been less than kind
Make me sad or start a fight
It’s just the way of the world
Just the way for a girl
Don't you think that you cannot try
Cause you’re gonna be good
Gonna be bad
Be what you desire
If its not picking me up
Then I’m burning it down
In the the ash is where I will be found
It’s been a while since I’ve seen you crying
You’ve got a hold on me
It’s been a while I’m taking my time
Just to figure out what you mean to me
What you mean to me

Catch The Wind
04:16
|
|||
I’ve been waiting in the calm
Sunsets like they’re painted on
Views are going on and on
Falling snow
Early in the dawn
I catch the wind
And I find my way home
Catch the wind
Finding ways just to feel more
That feeling when there is no sound
After the blizzard picked you up and down
You’re in the vast of it
Colors encourage you to leave it all behind
I catch the wind and I
Find my way home
Catch the wind
Finding ways just to feel more
One time after
You held me in your arms tonight
In your arms tonight
In your arms tonight
I felt the breeze
Whisper to me
I’ll get you out tonight
I’ll get you out tonight
I’ll get you out tonight
Be in your arms tonight
Be in your arms tonight
Be in your arms tonight
I catch the wind
And I find my way home
Catch the wind
Finding ways just to feel more
Find a way to feel more

Under The Overpass
02:55
|

I never knew you
I knew your name
I looked towards you
You did the same
Was getting late
My mind began to race
Something about you
I had to stay
I walked up to you
And made you laugh
We shared a drink
Under the overpass
We took the long way
But went too fast
I thought I knew you
It didn’t last
Where did it go
That feeling I had
Before where did it go
That feeling I had
It’s gone
With you
My love
Lost in a moment
With you
My love
Lost in a moment
I never I knew you
I knew your name
I looked right through you
And lost the game
We held each other
But couldn’t stay
I thought I knew you
You walked away
Where did it go
That feeling I had
Before
Where did it go
That feeling I had
It’s gone
With you
My love
Lost in a moment
With you
My love
Lost in a moment

Rattled By Your Love
04:04
|

One foot on the island
One foot on your stairs
There’s no use denying
I’d go anywhere
Anywhere your leaves are changing
Anywhere you’ll light me up
Every destination
Rattled by your love
One arm out the window
One hand on the wheel
Waiting for your shadow to reveal
My ‘going through the motion’
My ‘never quite enough’
My island in your ocean
I’m rattled by your love
Rattled by your love
Walking in your flowers
Violently blue
Every waking hour
Winding me to you
Every waking hour
Every push and shove
Every violet flower
Rattled by your love
I am rattled by your love

Prelude to Summer

Come back with me now to the water
Swim with me again
It’s the closing down of the summer
Come on before it ends
Once more before it ends
You were dancing
By the fire
I was hanging on
Or I was trying
Through the window
I could see you
There was nothing wrong
Oh I liked you
Come back with me now to the water
Swim with me again
It’s the closing down of the summer
Come on before it ends
Once more before it ends
When I met you
It was late June
Only summer sun
Lay before you
But the winds gone cold
And the windows closed
And I don’t know
Where it is we’ve gone
Or why must the good things end
The brambles tangled and dead
I don’t wanna lose my friend
Why must the good things end
