LYRICS:
I’m not asking for much now
or waiting for your count
Been watchin’ it fall down
Been watchin’ it fall down

Not asking for much now
Or waiting to find out
I’m looking for new ground
I’m ready to fly now 

In my hometown 
they don’t seem to mind
If I leave the grey 
or stick around 
The rains' been washin me away
Off the mountain 
towards the plains
So, I’m leavin’ now
Before I let 
another day go to waste

Skimming the surface
I don’t know the words yet

I’m walkin slow and headin’ down
The streets of a stranger’s town 
Could this be the place
I’ve been longing for?
Humming low to catch the sound 
prayers from another’s mouth 
Searching for the song 
of a stranger 

not asking for much now
or waiting for your count
Been watchin’ it fall down
Been watchin’ it fall down

Not asking for much now
Or waiting to find out
I’m looking for new ground
I’m ready to fly now 

Thinking fast 
moving slow
Plenty to tell, 
nothing to show 
Like shadows cast 
under smoke
You’ll never know
How far they go

Lookin’ for  purpose 
I think this could be worth it

I’m walkin slow and headin’ down
The streets of a stranger’s town 
Could this be the place
I’ve been longing for?
Hummin low to catch the sound 
prayers from another’s mouth 
Searching for the song 
of a stranger 

It all feels so familiar 
But they don’t know my name here
Memories that might be mine
Thoughts and hopes 
That feel so right
I’ll find a man and I'll make a home 
Won’t be a stranger for too long

Would you let me belong?
Would you let me belong?
belong.

💛 Song meaning: This song is about hope.
It was written after Covid, when someone had to go back home as the pandemic was spreading.
With the warm afterglow of summer “fire” became the dream to see them again and feel that connection, that love once again.

🎶 Lyrics: 
I lay 
in between your arms and what I see
Is sunshine pouring from your eyes
Getting the best of you, the best of me

And time 
has been lost in the ocean of your sheets
Alone
Sinking in the breath of your summer dreams

Where do we go now
Where do we go

Hold my hand
I have gone through time and space to find
Someone like you 
So let me see the light that I’ve been craving all my life
And I’ll come, come, just to see you there

And I’ll come when the fire starts
And I’ll come, come, just to see that I 
I am yours
Just to see that I’m, I’m yours
Just to see that I’m, I’m home

Romantic Motion

This is a poem I turned into a song. Written in 2022. :) 

LYRICS:
In broken rhyme
The words I left 
Hanging wishes
Under breath
For you to pine
To long til’ death
Hearts intwined
The gamut – lest

I’m through holding out hope
For dreams part of me 
Already let go 
So I march in time 
for a different kind of host
And I rid my mind
Of all the ghosts 
Just so you know…

'Twas I alone
In ruddy garb
Entranced by gambling
gone too far
A stone across
the tepid swamp 
Remised to sink 
beneath the squalls 

I’m through holding out hope
For dreams part of me 
Already let go 
So I march in time 
to a different kind of host
And I rid my mind
Of all the ghosts 
Just so you know…

For nights which warned 
Of guilt foretold
In haste to march on
as one in soul 
One soul. 
In silent caws, 
They watch me wail 
My hopes, inertia’s wedding veil
So I swore off, 
Succinct a quandary 
For a moment, a lover, 
Or a bloody calling!!!!

I’m through holding out hope
For dreams all of me 
Should really let go 
So I march in time 
To a different kind of note
And I rid my mind
Of all the ghosts 
Just so you know…
In time I hold
All that will be
For now I weep
In memory.

Hold On 'Til You Can't Let Go

Reworked one of my OG songs from 2021! I hope the words work like a spell and come true. 

LYRICS:
I live on the edge of town, 
that’s why you don’t 
see me around.
I’m a new girl now -
not a blue girl now.

Can you say my name? 
Erase letters and ways -
anchors to a place 
I need to get away from…

But I don’t burn bridges anymore. 
I don’t leave love notes at
the door.
I’ve been wasting breath 
and matches and
I don’t know what for.
So, I don’t burn bridges anymore.
I won’t, I won’t 
from shore to shore!
I hope I don’t
Of that, I’m sure. 

I can’t remember the 
last time I called you.
I still, kinda,
really don’t want to.

That doesn’t mean 
I never loved you,
but you’re on a bridge 
that I will fall through.  

And I don’t break bridges anymore,
don’t cry on Sundays 
on my floor.
I’ve been losing sleep and hours
And I don’t know what for
So, I don’t break bridges anymore. 
I won’t, I won’t 
from shore to shore!
I hope I don’t
Of that, I’m sure. 

Angled blinds in the afternoon.
Hoop earrings, blue perfume.
She waves goodbye,
I wave too.
From the bridge
I fixed with glue.
I had to keep on walking, 
there was nothing left to do.
I ran out of options.
I had no excuse.

Now I cross bridges on my own. 
I make pathways just to roam.
I’ve been building up resistance; 
I never feel alone.
One of these days, 
I’ll take
One of these bridges 
to get 
home!
