                 THIS LITTLE BIRD
                    ------ = = = ------

 you waited for so long
 then caught me in your web
 built a wall around us
 planted bad seeds in my head

 and I got so confused
 I lost my faith in me
 was broken and didn't know it
 you took all my dignity 

 you said no one will want me
 I'm fat and don't look good
 I'd be nothing without you
 you made sure I understood

 now this little bird
 she's looking to the sky
 all the pretty clouds
 are tempting her to fly

 now this little bird
 she needs to spread her wings
 you keep your house and cars
 all your money and this ring

 I've found my self respect
 so I'm breaking down the walls
 cutting all the puppet strings
 feels better when I'm walking tall

 now this little bird
 she's looking to the sky
 all the pretty clouds
 are tempting her to fly

 the spite in every word you said
 cut deep and left there scars
 I'll lick my wounds and move on
 to a happier life apart

 now this little bird
 she's flying in the sky
 through pretty clouds
 she's never felt so high

       I'M SO IN LOVE WITH NEW YORK
              ------ = = = ----- = = = ------

 in the distance I can see her
 standing in the misty rain
 she's as pretty as a picture
 just waiting to be framed

 she's the apple of my eyes
 pulls on my heart strings
 she's so dangerous, exiting
 and liberty's so welcoming

 I look across the Hudson
 and I can barely talk
 my heart is in my mouth again
 I'm so in love with new York
 I'm so in love with new York

 she wraps her arms around me
 and tells me I've been missed
 electrifying sounds n smells
 are like a mothers tender kiss

 on every street excitement
 she makes you feel alive
 secrets she's been keeping
 Brooklyn on her dark side

 I look across the Hudson
 man I can barely talk
 my heart is in my mouth again
 I'm so in love with new York
 I'm so in love with new York

 night lights and it's show time
 this lady's dressed to thrill
 sequins pearls and diamonds
 you'll be back know you will 

 I look across the Hudson
 and I can barely talk
 my heart is in my mouth again
 I'm so in love with new York
 I'm so in love with new York
 I'm so in love with new York

              CARVED IN STONE
                   ------ = = ------

 

 I cried a million teardrops for you
 Then turned to my guitar
 Couldn't find no inspiration
 Out there among the stars
 
 Time is what you wanted
 A little space so you could breath
 We both knew where it was going
 But girl I still believe, I still believe
 
 I'm not letting go oh no
 Without you it's cold
 without you it's cold
 I'm not letting go oh no
 We're carved in stone
 We're carved in stone woh woh

 Counting every moment
 Every scene up in my head
 Hoping that you miss me too
 and someday you'll regret

 Gone but not forgotten
 All I got is time
 I cry myself to sleep at night
 You're always on my mind
 you're always on my mind
 
 I'm not letting go oh no
 Without you it's cold
 without you it's cold
 I'm not letting go oh no
 We're carved in stone
 We're carved in stone woh woh
 
 I'm not letting go oh no
 Without you it's cold
 without you it's cold
 I'm not letting go oh no
 We're carved in stone
 We're carved in stone 

 no I'm not letting go
 no I'm not letting go
 no I'm not letting go
 no I'm not letting go

 We're carved in stone
 We're carved in stone woh woh oh woh
 we're carved in stone woh woh
 woh woh woh, woh woh woh
 woh woh woh
