My Alibi

Well I never would deceive you
And I’d never truly say goodbye
But doin’ somethin’ different
Has always been an answer
Has always been an answer, my alibi

And I’ll allow frustration
I’ll allow a moment’s rest
But I won’t resist temptation
If up and leavin’ is the test
If up and leavin’ is the test

Why can’t we surrender to some other way
We’ll surely come together on some other day
We won’t be lost forever
Help to ease my mind
Not just bigger and better
It’s belief I’ve got to find
It’s belief I’ve got to find
It’s belief I’ve got to find

So I’ll journey this one lonesome
Dig the ditch to see the glow
Facing forward footsteps
Don’t fail me now before the show
Don’t fail me now before the show

Why can’t you surrender to some other way
We’ll surely come together on some other day
We won’t be lost forever
Help to ease my mind
Not just bigger and better
It’s belief I’ve got to find
It’s belief I’ve got to find
It’s belief I’ve got to find.

Bloodstream

Why oh why, do we keep a death wish inside
I can’t believe you’d even think of that
Can’t imagine that I’d ever do that

I’ve been singin’ almost every night
Some people listen, some put up a fight
Some days I think I chase my soul out
I’m lyin’ broken and my blood pours out

Hot water bottle lyin’ in my bed
I lie alone after I paint the town red
This loneliness I think it’s killin’ me
But I keep the ringer on in case you call me

Why oh why, do we keep a death wish inside
I can’t believe you’d even think of that
Can’t imagine that I’d ever do that

I wonder do you wonder what it would be like
To live your life how you want to live your life
Eliminating all the f---ing games
Walkin’ home never to feel the shame again

Why oh why, do we keep a death wish inside
I can’t believe you’d even think of that
Can’t imagine that I’d ever do that

Butterflies and moonbeams
Music rushin’ through my bloodstream
But I keep on pullin’ all the thorns out
I keep on watchin’ all my blood pour out

Hush little baby don’t say a word
Mama’s gonna buy you a mockingbird
And if that mockingbird don’t sing
Mama’s gonna buy you a diamond ring

You told me that I had to burn to shine
Well, I’m burning but not sure the fire is mine
If I’m mistaken won’t you please let me know
We are not meant to go alone when we go
Why oh why, do we keep a death wish inside
I can’t believe you’d even think of that
Can’t imagine that I’d ever do that

Butterflies and moonbeams
Music rushin’ through my bloodstream
But I keep on pullin’ all the thorns out
I keep on watchin’ all my blood pour out
Keep on pullin’ all the thorns out
Keep on watchin’ all my blood pour out.

Wine Song

Spicy fruit I like the way
Your taste runs down my neck
Your perfume it just blew past my nose
This is gonna take a sec

I see that glass alluring me to pour
And I can hear it singing
Hoping time has passed
And that the flavour’s been breathing

If I had you here smiles ear to ear
Knowing more than meets the eye
I’d be lifting you; it’s all I’d have to do
“Cheers”ing high into the sky

I see that glass alluring me to pour
And I can hear it singing
Hoping time has passed
And that the flavour’s been breathing

Do-do-do…

Each time between our destiny
I’ll remember
For what it’s worth my dear
I’ll say it loud and clear, come September

I see that glass alluring me to pour
And I can hear it singing
Hoping time has passed
And that the flavour’s been breathing

Do-do-do…

I want you
There’s so many reasons why
But I don’t need you
See that twinkle in my eye
It’s a tiny piece of sky

Do-do-do…

Livin’ for the Moment

We’re sittin’ round the campfire
And we’re listenin’ to the loon’s call
Yeah, we’re sittin’ round the campfire
We’re all watchin’ for the stars to fall

And we’re livin’ for the moment
And we’ll have another round
Cheers for bringin’ us together
Look what we’ve found

We’ll be singin’ for the summertime
And we’re happy for the day
Yeah, and Sarah’s got her stories
I wouldn’t change a thing, no way

And we’re livin’ for the moment
And we’ll have another round
Cheers for bringin’ us together
Look what we’ve found

And if the rain comes in
And if the wind blows strong
We’ll stick it out until the sun comes shinin’ along

Cuz we’re sittin’ round the campfire
And we’re listenin’ to the loon’s call
Yeah, we’re sittin’ round the campfire
We’re all watchin’ for the stars to fall
Look what we’ve found.

Song and Dance

Oh this burning desire in me
Never gonna set me free
I’ve been poured down the drain
And I’m going insane

I can’t even eat no more
I’m a starfish dyin’ on the shore
I got the music, I couldn’t lose it
But I’m dyin’ bit by bit by bit by bit

I flip through the pages of my memory
What is it I see, just you just me
Dancin’ to the rhythm, movin’ to the groove
Not a thing around us, not a thing to prove

Oh, you’re the puppeteer and I’m on the string
I try to move but I can’t do anything
You’re the master of my emotion
Can’t get away, can’t even run

I’m in the middle of a tidal wave
And I’m praying for a sunshiny day
I got the music, I couldn’t lose it
But I’m dyin’ bit by bit by bit by bit

I flip through the pages of my memory
What is it I see, just you just me
Dancin’ to the rhythm, movin’ to the groove
Not a thing around us, not a thing to prove

You lit me on fire and you didn’t think I’d get burned
Sorry to mistake you
I can’t believe I still haven’t learned
It’s the same old story, same old song and dance

How could you mislead me, how could I have misread
Everything you showed to me
And all the pretty things you said
It’s the same old story, same old song and dance

Oh this burning desire in me
Is never gonna set me free
I’ve been poured down the drain
And I’m going insane.

Touch of Sin

Keep on pushin’ my light away
Keep on doubtin’ every word I say
Keep on keepin’ on with your evil ways

But I ain’t goin’ to waste my precious energy
On the anger, madness
You want me to be a part of
Make me a scar of me

You never give me anything
Why is it I try
To give you just a little bit
You even make me cry
I’d like to wash my hands of you
In the end you’d win

Cuz life cannot go on at all
Without a touch of sin
Without a touch of sin sin sin

So keep on forcin’ your life upon
Keep on doin’ every single thing wrong
Keep on keeping on with your empty song

Oh but I ain’t goin’ to waste my precious energy
On the anger, madness
You want me to be a part of
Make me a scar of me

What do you want from me
I only wanted to be a lucky girl
Laughin’, singing and foot tapping
You’ll do what you’ll do
I’ll turn your voodoo on you
You’ll see I’m smarter
Love is stronger, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah

I ain’t goin’ to waste my precious energy
On the anger, madness
You want me to be a part of
Make me a scar of me
You never give me anything
Why is it I try
To give you just a little bit
You even make me cry
I’d like to wash my hands of you
But in the end you’d win

Cuz life cannot go on at all
Without a touch of sin
Without a touch of sin sin sin.

No Epitome

You are fine, you are
You’re a star of mine, you are
Wait it out, you’ll see, no epitome

Hang on don’t let go
Crucify the no

Yellow brick road
Take me home

Dusk turns into dawn
Moon turns into sun

Dreading through the night
Sailing away from the light

Yellow brick road
Take me home

Yellow brick road
Take me home

I am fine, I am
I’m a star, I am.

8th Wonder

I forgot to tell you in a convincing way
But I ran the conversation play by play
We’d be by the river under starshine
Or we’d be dancing and drinkin’ somethin’ fine

I just couldn’t tell you and I had no way out
This secret inside me is wrapped up in doubt
Cuz we’ve been together almost every day
You never really looked at me in the same way
Or did you babe?

We’d be the 8th, we’d be the 8th
We’d be the 8th wonder

I know this song, it sounds a lot like love
But I’m only standin’ on this cliff
And I haven’t jumped off
I’ve got this guitar on my back and a few tunes
And I’ll keep singing this one out
And I’ll get over you

I’ll send a letter to you when I’m gone
But you’ll never know dear
It’s you in this song
And if your light for me turns on at last
You’d better hope to hell
The ship hasn’t already passed, oh no

We’d be the 8th, we’d be the 8th
We’d be the 8th wonder

I know this song, it sounds a lot like love
But I’m only standin’ on this cliff
And I haven’t jumped off
I’ve got this guitar on my back and a few tunes
And I’ll keep singing this one out
And I’ll get over you.

Breakthrough

I’ll run to you and I’ll have fun with you
And I’ll be true to you and I’ll play with you
And I’ll rest with you and I’ll be warm with you
And I’ll come with you and I’ll love you
But I’ll hate, I’ll hate you too

What I’m gonna do now
Where I’m gonna run to
Where I’m gonna go
What am I gonna see
Whatcha gonna show me
Are you gonna come through
Will you have a breakthrough
What am I gonna see

And you’ll run to me
And you’ll have fun with me
And you’ll be true to me
And you’ll play with me
And you’ll rest with me
And you’ll be warm with me
And you’ll come with me
And you’ll love me
But you’ll hate, you’ll hate me too

What I’m gonna do now
Where I’m gonna run to
Where I’m gonna go
What am I gonna see
Whatcha gonna show me
Are you gonna come through
Will you have a breakthrough
What am I gonna see
Will you have a breakthrough
What am I gonna see

And what I knew then
Is not what I know now
And what is true
Is that I need to get away from you, get away from you

I’ll run from you
That’s when you’ll run to me
And when I turn to you
You’ll run away from me
And when I say goodbye
It won’t be a lie, no not this time

What I’m gonna do now
Where I’m gonna run to
Where I’m gonna go
What am I gonna see
Whatcha gonna show me
Are you gonna come through
Will you have a breakthrough
What am I gonna see
Will you have a breakthrough
What am I gonna see
Will I have that breakthrough?

Wanted

Better shut the windows
And batten down the hatch
I can feel it in the air
I’m getting ready for the catch

And if it’s me in the sunshine picking flowers
And if it’s you in the summertime basking for hours
Well then it’s all I’ll every want
And yeah it’s all I’ll ever need

Chalk it up to butterflies
Strum it on guitar
Sing it in the rain
Oh and wish it on a star

And if it’s me in the window sill pen to paper
And if it’s you in your corduroy wearing glasses
Well then it’s all I’ll ever want
And yeah it’s all I’ll ever need
And yeah it’s all I’ll ever ponder
And yeah it’s all I’ll ever dream of

If it’s me by the firelight composing
And if it’s you drinking pinot gris so inviting
Well then it’s all I’ll ever want
And yeah it’s all I’ll ever need
And yeah it’s all I’ll ever ponder
And yeah it’s all I’ll ever dream of.

C’mon Papa

C’mon papa tell me a story
Sit here sugar right beside me
I ain’t goin’ nowhere
Goin’ nowhere fast

C’mon papa tell me a story
You can make me laugh
Or you can rock me gently
I can be your sugar pie
You can be my honey

You know I got me these loose ends
That need to be tied up
But I’d rather be pickin’ berries, pickin’ buttercups
Even though I’m weary
You still got me weak in my knees

C’mon papa tell me a story
You can make me laugh
Or you can rock me gently
I can be your sugar pie
You can be my honey

You know people talk
They talk about the weather
But I’d rather like another topic to occur
Cuz I got me this black cloud
Hanging over my head

C’mon papa tell me a story
Sit here sugar right beside me
I ain’t goin’ nowhere
Goin’ nowhere fast

C’mon papa tell me a story
You can make me laugh
Or you can rock me gently
I can be your sugar pie
You can be my honey.

A Little Longer

Flawless solidarity
In the mind of peace
Is only easy to achieve if you
Keep your doors and windows wide

Do-do-do…

Beautify, kiss, don’t deny
Bliss, slainte to the sky
If I’m ever privy to perfection
Or an everlasting connection
Touch me grace, touch me modesty

Do-do-do…

Every day I see some traces of you
And I got to say, yeah I got to say
You bring logic and reason
And if your traces ever sink within

You gotta know, yeah you gotta know
You bring magic and pleasin’
And I know you’d never ever want to do me wrong
But I wish you’d stay a little longer

Do-do-do…

1000 Kisses

I coulda given you a thousand kisses
Coulda dreamed with you a thousand wishes
But it didn’t last that long
You coulda written us a thousand love songs
But you couldn’t be the one to hold on
And it didn’t last that long

And I can still see your face
And the love in your eyes
Still smell your skin

We coulda woken to a thousand new days
Coulda spoken of a thousand new ways
But it didn’t last that long
And now my thinkin’ of a thousand kisses
And my dreamin’ of a thousand wishes
Doesn’t really last that long

And I can still see your face
And the love in your eyes
Still smell your skin
I can still see your face
And the love in your eyes
And I can still smell your skin

And I can still call you up
There really wasn’t any love lost
But it’s not our time
No it’s not our time

And yeah I still think of you
I’m so sorry that I do
But it’s not our time
No it’s not our time

And I remember your blue eyes
Staring right into mine
But it’s not our time
No no not our time
No no no no

And I can still see your face
And the love in your eyes
Still smell your skin
I can still see your face
And the love in your eyes
Still smell your skin, your skin

You coulda loved me unlike any other
But it didn’t last that long.
