I've heard you say her name before 
she was the one who let you go 
you said her love was in the past 
I needn't worry anymore 
- 
-But little bear where did you go? 
Into the mountains of his heart 
deep in the cave you claim your space 
with your sharp claws im torn apart. 
- 
But through the year id hear again 
a soft repeating of that name 
I tried to clear it from my mind 
that girl you loved that got away 
- 
-So little lamb where did you go? 
Into the mountains of your heart 
deep in the cave you disappear 
when the spring comes you can restart. 
- 
And through the mountains I still climb 
my name you'll hear in days to come 
And in these forests echo wide 
I am the one that he calls love. 
- 
-Oh little lion where'd i go? 
Into the mountains of his heart 
Deep in that cave I lost my way 
because of you im torn apart 
Deep in that cave we lost our way 
when the spring comes we can restart.

Lyrics:
I was left with so much pain, this is all I had to feel.
It followed me like strangers begging pennies for a meal.
I had to let you go, erase my troubled year.
But even a blank canvas, holds remnants of a picture,
and I could not move forward I was my own worst stricture.
You'd done your worst, and broken me to pieces.

But you were crumbling like an ending jenga game,
and you were stumbling through the life you barely claimed
but I'm not drowning in your waters, no i had to get away.

So i sold all of my memories, in a sale in the front yard,
and I rid myself of daydreams of never being scar'd,
I barely had a purpose, but I heard the west calling.
Then the wind came up and swept me right off my busted knees,
and it took me towards the ocean to feel that salty breeze,
it stung my tear stained face til it washed you away.

But your still crumbling like an ending jenga game,
and you were stumbling through the life you barely claimed
but I'm not drowning in your waters, no i had to get away.

And its hard to know that somewhere you're still drowning all the same,
always wearen a mask of smiles to every passing face
but no one knows your demons darlen, like the ones that you've broken.
So you buy another round for the 'friends' that know you best,
and you drink that bottle down to fill your empty chest,
but I'm free from all your baggage and im swimmen towards the shore.

But you were crumbling like an ending jenga game,
and you were stumbling through the life you barely claimed
but I'm not drowning in your waters, no i had to get away. (x2)

The Call Out West

New Song! 
Title: Carolyn
written and performed by: Lauren Lo
Guitar,kazoo, washboard, bass drum, shaker, back vocals, main vocals, lyrics: Lauren LO

Lyrics:
She moved into a little yellow house
in the middle of the street
in a tiny beach town
mostly known for growing weed.

Oh she moved from the mountains from the big skies to be with the sand and sea
mostly bangen on her drum and singing songs and bringing men down to their knees,
Oh Carolyn I wrote this song for you, I'll sing it for you when you're feeling blue,
when you're feeling blue, oh any shade will do.

He raced her to her tiny white walled room
and whispered stories that only she'd hear
that made her stomach twist with tiny knots
and filled her heart with loads of love and chear

Oh she moved from the mountains from the big skies to be with the sand and sea
mostly bangen on her drum and singing songs and bringing men down to their knees,
Oh Carolyn I wrote this song for you, I'll sing it for you when you're feeling blue,
when you're feeling blue, oh any shade will do.

So when the day sinks into oceans waves
and night will shower black into the sky
then you can sit and smile upon your day
and know that you're the one thats got his eye.

Oh she moved from the mountains from the big skies to be with the sand and sea
mostly bangen on her drum and singing songs and bringing men down to their knees,
Oh Carolyn I wrote this song for you, I'll sing it for you when you're feeling blue,
when you're feeling blue, oh any shade will do.

Title Track of new album. Come About
Lyrics and music by Lauren Salant
Lyrics in recording slightly differ from final product.
Recorded Feb. 2013

Lyrics:
Come About
Well I've been searching from Sea to Sea to find you
but the waves pushed me around
and I've heard sirens and sailors all before
yes they warned me of Posiedons mights crown.

Chorus: 
Then the wind that crashed across my chest it changed its course
and it carried me closer towards the shore
and every tide that pushed another two steps back
always landed me another three steps forward
and I, I've come about

And as the waters chopped gently cross the currents
I'de find another bay to rest and hide
and all the clapping from the sails aboard the ship
reminded me that life is just a ride

Chorus

And as the black of night sets across the sky
I see the stars
and as I float amongst the water of the deep
they lift me from my heavy weighing scars

then comes the morning
when the sun does rise and paints the world in yellows and in blues
I take a breath and I drift away
hoping soon the waves will bring me close to you
and I, Ive come about.

Come About

Lil diddy on my day off.

Lyrics:
I love you, early in the morning,
even though, you're asleep and snoring
oh you know I do
I love you when you call me baby
even though I know I drive you crazy
Oh you know its true.

And when the day is done and all our bones are hurt from worken
and the only thing you really want to do
is hold your sugar tight and whisper sweetly that you love him
cuz you treat him right and girl he'll treat you true

I love you cooken eggs n bacon,
greasy love aint the kind for faken
oh you know i do
I love you seeden and a mown
veggies aint the only thing thats grown
ohhh you know its true
