Lyrics

Home

This place that we were born and raised has lost a bit of its charm
No trees growing from out the ground
Baby Chickadee don’t make a sound

Years have come gone
We’re still wondering where we went wrong
Our house is broken, but we’re still standing strong

Don’t leave it this way
Don’t turn you back and walk away
This old dirt road still knows the way back home

It’s been a long, long time now and we’ve stayed so long inside
Winter’s an overbearing lover begging please don’t leave
The world keeps turning circles; nothing ever stays the same
No reason to point fingers
There’s no one here to blame

Sing me,  sing me, oh bring me – he he he he
Sing me,  sing me, oh bring me – he he he he
Sing me,  sing me, oh bring me – he he he he
Sing me back home!

 

Hold On

No we won’t back down. Keep your ears to the ground
You can feel it all around us baby.
There’s something sweet growing up at our feet
Now everything’s coming up roses
Oh it only takes a moment
To lift you up then you’re in it

I wanna hear you say things will get better
Whisper it in the wind, things are gonna change
Yeah there’s gonna be change

For too many years we held back the tears
Now it’s time to let the flood gates open
And if there are regrets it’s time to put them to rest
Oh we can forgive, but we can never forget
Don’t waste time thinking about it
Whatever “it” may be

I wanna hear you say things will get better
Whisper it in the wind, things are gonna change
Yeah there’s gonna be change

Steady as a rock. Ready for anything
This life will knock you down and pick you up again
The simple things seem hard at times
You get pushed apart on different lines, but wherever she is blowing
hold on, hold on –hold on

He he he ya…

Moments of Silence

It’s not as easy as it looks
Maybe I read somewhere in a book or two
That finding the right words to say
Is harder then just walking away

But in these moments of silence
That reveal the truth in us
We don’t have to say – or look the other way
All the world is dancing in your eyes
And I know for sure that I am going to stay

If I were an iceberg breaking up
Into the ocean I’d jump and dive
To cool these feelings rising inside
But there’s no where to hide

And in these moments of silence
That reveal the truth in us
We don’t have to say – or look the other way
All the world is dancing in your eyes
And I know for sure that I am going to stay

With you it’s a lovely day
Always a lovely day
Even though the clouds are coming
I’m looking at the world in a whole new way

Brilliant Pieces of You

Someday soon I know I’ll get there
I’ll find my way to wherever you are
It don’t matter how far I gotta go
I just know that you’re worth it

You make my heart sing
You make my life seem
Like the party of the year
I’m confounded, so astounded
By the brilliant pieces of you

Is it okay with you that I take my time
It’s not you honey, this road is mine
What I do know and that’s for sure
Is what we got is for real

You make my heart sing
You make my life seem
Like the party of the year
I’m confounded, so astounded
By the brilliant pieces of you

It won’t be long now
I know I’ll find you
Yes, I will honey!
I’ll search to the end
For your love

The Breaking Point

There was always something under the surface – yeah
Trying to reach out, take root and find me
I’ve got a history and a story that’s yet untold
I can hear it now, hear it now the words my old people say

I didn’t know how to talk about all this hurt I’ve got buried
Deep down inside, hidden away
I couldn’t say what I was feeling
You take all of my good, take all of my bad
Gave me a voice I never had
This is the Breaking Point, the moment I let it all go

For years I’ve been the one to hide all my fears behind a smile
Laughing though I didn’t know then all this pretend would break me down
I’m not the kind to change what I know
It takes me a while to find my way
This is the Breaking Point (the moment I let it all go)

I’ve got a history and a story that’s yet untold
I can hear it now, hear it now
The words my old people say
Go your own way through this life
You make a choice and you hold on tight
No more fear to do what’s right
It’s life, it’s love, it’s alright

There was always something under the surface – yeah
Trying to reach out, take root and find me
I’ve got a history and a story that’s yet untold
I can hear it now, hear it now the words my old people say

Foolish Girl

See how the sun shines for you, see how happy the world is to have you
Would you know it if it hit you between the eyes?
It’s a fool’s life when you don’t see how good you got it
You’re all dolled up, looking good and getting good at talking bullshit

Foolish Girl you want a throne on top of the world
Oh you try so hard to the be the brightest star
But underneath it all you don’t see how lovely you are

You say one day you’re gonna break down the walls
Stand out in the crowd, have it all
But who you are right now is the one we want to know
How do say that there’s a better way to make your point. You’re so definite
It cuts like a knife when you say harsh words when you don’t mean it

Foolish Girl you want a throne on top of the world
Oh you try so hard to the be the brightest star
But underneath it all you don’t see how lovely you are

Yeah you, you’re so special
When you laugh like no one hears you, oh you’re lovely
Underneath it all your lovely
When you smile your lovely
Like a bird set free, lovely
It’s not so hard

Foolish Girl you want a throne on top of the world
Oh you try so hard to the be the brightest star
But underneath it all you don’t see how lovely you are

Come With Me

When you’re left out in the cold and you got not lights to guide you home – Come with me
When you speak and there’s no sound cause your voice cannot be found – Come with me
When you’re friends have left your side and your alone in the rising time – Come with me
When it hurts so bad you want to cry but there’s a desert deep inside – Come with me

And I’ll be your sheltering sky. I’ll be your calm
I’ll light the stars to lead you safely into the dawn
Baby your better than I’ll ever be, but if I’m wrong
I’ll do my best to fix your broken bits and write a symphony -So come with me

When the moment’s passed you by and the kisses on your lips are dry – Come with me
And you ask yourself why you can’t keep love in your life – Come with me
If you got all that you wanted but you don’t remember why you got it – Come with me
When you’ve finally arrived and all you want to do is drive – Come with me

Don’t worry, don’t worry, don’t worry, darling
I won’t hurry you along
I can see you’ve been hurt before and your still hurting
But you never had a friend, no you never had friend like me
I’m gonna be your sheltering sky. ’ll be your calm
I’ll light the stars to lead you safely into the dawn
Baby your better than I’ll ever be, but if I’m wrong
I’ll do my best to fix your broken bits and write a symphony -So come with me

Luanna

I was walking the road, the one along the lakeshore
Skipping stones into blue and gold
Three months ago this was all an ice field
I wonder how I survived the cold

It seems like it was yesterday
I was bright lights and big cities and now I’m here

Luanna welcome me home, it’s the song I’ve always known
All these roads lead to your shores
I hear my voice I hear it in yours

When I was a girl I dreamt of anywhere but here
I was on the road when I was eighteen
My great escape was fame and fortune
Didn’t know home is where the grass is green

Look with your eyes closed and you’ll see what I see
Heaven above never looked so good
Greens and blues and whites wrapped around you
I thought it was hell but I misunderstood

It seems like it was yesterday
I was bright lights and big cities and now I’m here

Luanna welcome me home, it’s the song I’ve always known
All these roads lead to your shores
I hear my voice I hear it in yours

Let It Ride

Lighting flashes, the emotion crashes
The hesitation remains
There’s the contemplation, the meditation
But the spark is not the same

You reach for my hand, this is not in my plans
We thought this was a dead end road
A new door appears, do I stay here
Or change with the wind as  it blows?

Let it ride, let it ride
When you don’t see a way out
Let it ride, let it ride
There’s no doubt I’m lost without you

Two steps ahead, a careless moment
And were back to where we started from
Lay your arms down, look for a way around
We’re parts of the greater sum

There’s no big surprise, together we do or die
But here’s the truth love, my world is just an empty shell
With out you

Trippin

Trippin over bluebells, Baby
Just to get to you
Gettin lost on this roller coaster
I hope you feel it too

Cuttin stars out of the night sky
Hang them over me
I’ll bring a basket filled with sweet things
My love I’ll give for free

Oh, I’m feelin fine
I’m doin alright
Got you by my side
I ain’t goin nowhere tonight

La la la la la…

If I ever had it all
I never had a thing
Spinning upside down in circles
From all the love you bring

Walls are fallin down around me
as you whisper in my ear
I’d give away all I have
Just to have you near

Oh, I’m feelin fine
I’m doin alright
Got you by my side
I ain’t goin nowhere tonight

La la la la la…
