Morning Light
01:41
|
|||
Woke up with a low sigh
Softly blink my eyes
Cold window to my left
Your warm breath on my neck
I am living in a memory now
I see you in black and white
In morning light
It's days like these, you know I'm trying
But nights like these you'll find me crying
For morning light
My heart's desire may lie in crowded streets
Or in a cottage by the sea
The view is hazy and my head is full of maybes
But for now I'll trust my feet

Golden Days
02:45
|
|||
Wandering through this foggy town
Made my way through ups and downs
Lord knows I've seen more downs than ups these days
But you walked in and made me smile
Haven't felt this way in quite a while
So darling pull up a chair and won't you stay?
Oh, California be kind
I can't get this boy off my mind
I was feeling low
Until you took my hand and then I knew where to go
And I think it's safe to say
These are golden days
You tell me a bad joke honey, and I'll sing you a song
We may not be perfect honey, but boy do we get along
So pack me up that picnic basket
And I will grab the keys
You make me feel safe and grounded
You put me at ease
Oh, California be kind
I can't get this boy off my mind
I was feeling low
Until you took my hand and then I knew where to go
And I think it's safe to say
These are golden days
Never had someone to share my bed with day to day
But waking up next to you makes me feel like everything's ok
Honey you're a habit that I finally want to keep
If you're a dream, and I'm the dreamer, than Lord please let me sleep
Oh, California be kind
I can't get this boy off my mind
I was feeling low
Until you took my hand and then I knew where to go
And I think it's safe to say
These are golden days

Something More
04:07
|
|||
I know this may be hard to hear
But summer isn’t summer here
And I’m looking for a sky
That is not afraid to change
Cause lately I’ve been changing too
Drifting in and out of you
I’m thinking that it’s time
To reassess and rearrange
Cause I need to see a flower die
I need to hear my mother sigh
I need to know just what I need
I need to bleed
And feel it all
Let it warm my body
Like a good, good wine
Break my walls and grow my spine
You know, I’ve heard it all
“It’s too late, don’t bother”
But I can’t ignore
The ache for something more
I stayed up last night just to watch you sleep
And I’ll save all the memories you don’t want to keep
Place them in a box
With the pencils and the vase
So piece by piece I disappear
You said “leave it like you found it, dear”
But how do you put love back
In its former place?
Thanks for never asking why
It’s far too hard to say goodbye
I just need to know just what I need
Once I am free
To feel it all
Let it warm my body
Like a good, good wine
I grew stronger on a vine
I must turn and fall
I am ripe for learning
What I can't ignore
The ache for something more
Throw the old me in the sea
Watch her sparkle in the sun
Let her find a quiet place
This chapter’s done

Blue Room
03:07
|
|||
I’ve been living in a blue room
In a cold house
On a grey London street
You have settled in the pine trees
Near the Bay breeze
Somewhere far away
And these days
I don’t have much to say
And these days
I keep to myself
And these nights
I’d get into bed
And turn out the light
And rest my head
And wish you were here…
I often wonder where you’re going
Or what you’re reading
Or how you make your tea
Air turns cold and leaves are changing
And I start wondering
Are you changing too?
Like you're supposed to?
And these days
I don’t have much to say
And these days
I keep to myself
And these nights
I get into bed
And turn out the light
And rest my head
And wish you were here…

Cafe Song

Maria:
Throw open the windows
Make some blueberry pie
Someone wants to share their life with mine
So dust off the table
Make a setting for two
I’ve been waiting all my life for you
Susannah:
Here I am...
Maria:
This is not what I planned
But I like what I’m hearing
I was lost in the woods
Now I’ve come to a clearing
Susannah:
Your eyes...
Maria:
Are like taking a fresh of breath of air
Turns out love, when it’s right, is a bold kind of prayer
So walk with me, talk with me
Tell me your secrets
I’ll tell you mine too
Please let’s not be discreet
Let’s be true
Susannah:
Your smile...
Maria:
Just made my whole body do internal cartwheels
Susannah:
I swear...
Maria:
In this moment I’m floating on air
Both:
Turns out love, when it’s right, is a bold kind of prayer
Maria:
And you’ve changed my whole life just by being there
Susannah:
A cafe on Mission
A table for two
Maria:
Suddenly the world is new

Home
02:17
|
|||
Your soul is a house that lives on a hill
And I am its keeper forever more
I’ll grow daffodils on the window sill
And never mistake my love for a chore
Wherever I wander, wherever I roam
Your soul is a house, I’ll make it a home
If storms of sorrow should cause a flood
And leave us with murky waters to bear
I’ll wade through all the sand and mud
And bucket by bucket I’ll make the repair
Wherever I wander, wherever I roam
Your soul is a house, I’ll make it a home
If you should start to creak with old age
Like all well made houses eventually do
Your cracks and your doubts I’ll gently assuage
I know that your pillars are tried and true
Wherever I wander, wherever I roam
Your soul is a house, I’ll make it a home
Your soul is a house, I’ll make it a home

Stay Awhile
02:53
|
|||
I’m not going nowhere fast today
Gonna take my time
Off to find that missing part of me
Find some lonely mountain to climb
I feel as lost as ever
I feel as fickle as the weather
But hey this sunset’s really something else
I’m gonna write you a letter
I’m gonna try to make it better
I’m gonna set my sorrow on the shelf
Hey hey
It’s ok
To wander high and low
Just to
See the view
And watch some flowers grow
And you may find
Some peace of mind
In all that you don’t know
So find yourself a rose
And stay awhile
I’m not holding myself back today
Gonna speak my mind
I’ve always wondered what life would be like
With our hands intertwined
I won't say it's now or never
But I think I found forever
In the way your soul meets mine
Love’s a messy meal to measure
But if we make the mess together
It'll turn out fine
Hey hey
It’s ok
To wander high and low
Just to
See the view
And watch some flowers grow
You may find
Some peace of mind
In all that you don’t know
So find yourself a rose
And stay awhile

Bonus Track: He Finds Me
02:10
|
|||
He finds me
In a crowded room
He sees me
Through the doom and gloom
Of mad days and bad days
I know that he always will hear me
Over all the noise
He'll cheer me
When I'm often poised
To fret and be doubtful
He sees the glass half-full
He finds me
I'm scatterbrained and clumsy
I smile too much, I know
And yet he says he loves me
Oh what's the point in feeling low
If he holds me
When I'm down and out
He knows me
When I do not know myself
He finds me
And isn't it so funny?
The moment that he finds me
I'm lost in his arms
