Original lyrics and song written and performed by me.
Keyboard, Audacity

LYRICS:
You know I heard my train a'comin
from way on down the line
I know I could've hopped it sooner
if I had only read the signs
Instead of waiting on that railroad
Tied to what could never be
Hoping for a better future 
without changing anything
See I've been riding loco-motives
run on money, guilt and fear
I have always been a passenger
delivered anywhere
Now my train has switched its track
no more stations left to clear
No more facing toward the back
my destination is here

"Waiting at the Window"
an original song by Julia Yob, ©2022
inspired by the "Write a Ghost Story Song" prompt from the Grand Rapids Songwriters Alliance

LYRICS:

Waiting at the window, watching people walking by
Watching from the window, watching the birds fly...

Waiting at the window, distant as the leaves drift down
Ling-ring at the window, certain you'll come back around

Newlywed in springtime, married with the world in bloom
Promising forever, yet!
Now I'm all alone
Waiting on my own
At the window in this lonely, barren room...

Waiting at the window...
Waiting at the window...

Gazing out the window, watching as the seasons change
You haven't come home yet - isn't that strange...?

Looking out the window, nothing else for me to do
Looking out the window - waiting for you...

Waiting at the window, someone pounding on the door
Staring out the window, although I'm lying on the floor....

Waiting At The Window: a Halloween-season song

TIME TO MOVE ON

I remember when the love died 
Amidst the piece of me where the joy resides
That gave way to hollow depths of emptiness
I tried to relate the moments that we shared
Like a spark to kindling the fire roared to life
This was our moment, but the moment slipped away

No need to say goodbye
No need to look forlorn
It's time to move along
It's time to move on 

And now in this twilight I can't help but question 
What does it all mean?
As I look inward, I realize
You cannot put the meaning to this life
It's up to me to be who I need to be
Timeless memories now of days gone by
Where love and fear reside

No need to say goodbye
No need to look forlorn
It's time to move along
It's time to move on 

As I try to grasp the elusive past
And fill the void of loss
I come to realize friendship was the key
To the bond between you and me
A stark realization
A jealous thought
That yields no intimacy
The subtle cues that made us come together
I buried it deep

I miss you my friend, my love
But It's time to move along
It's time to move on
It's time to move on

Time To Move On

The Death of Romance
Music & Lyrics ©2022 Phil Wilson
Vocals - Julia Yob
Recorded at Jeff Oxford Productions

LYRICS:
I regret, the first time I choose not to kiss you goodbye
You were running late, had to go, we didn’t try, just told a lie
and made it so
As the days passed, our fast embrace somehow became more or less, a race
We kept upping the pace, and saying goodbyes in disguise, hiding our face

Last chance
Last breath
The final dance
The death of romance

I regret, the first time I choose, not to tell you a lie
It was getting late, and I didn’t care I didn’t try to tell you a why
It wasn’t fair
Why do you need a plan just to love me
How can we pick one day of the week
Should it take such an effort to touch me
In passing, just a brush the cheek
Are we fooling ourselves

When it was easy, we never knew it
When it was hard, we just couldn’t do it
Throwing dishes with a, “I’m done, and screw it!”
And that was easy, weren’t nothing to it

Last chance
Last breath
The final dance
The death of romance
The death of romance

The Death of Romance (by Phil Wilson, feat. Julia Yob)

Rebirth

Broken Rage (Bonus Track)

The Storm (Album Version)

Written by Gianna Stansell, Kathiryn Werlinich, Jeff Oxford
Produced by Frank Slimm

Verse 1:
I don’t feel pretty I feel gorgeous, I mean look at me you can’t forge this
And when you try to hit my line I press decline every time

Verse 2:
I don’t go stupid I go crazy, it’s anecdotal just what they say
Believe the story, be naïve, I’ll tell you something that you best believe

Pre-Chorus 1:
You think I could be played, boy ask me what’s my name
Oh gee that’s what I’ve been, I am not your friend never yours again

Chorus:
No no no no never trip, No no no no never trip
If you ask me it’s the money that I’m with
I don’t need no validation never trip about a dude (never trip about a dude)

Verse 3:
If I got a goal I’m on a mission, just a pretty female with ambition
I got things to say, stuff to do, that's why I’d never trip about a dude

Verse 4:
I'm done with all the crazy going viral, not getting twisted with my mind up in a spiral
If fame's a minute I'm an hour, it's my utility and I got all the power

Pre-Chorus 2:
I'm not here watchin' you, I check myself and I got better things to do
I lose myself inside a mirror, not over you
it's what I said I never trip about a dude

REPEAT CHORUS

Verse 5:
Nobody's making money on the niceness, know what I'm worth and I am priceless
Yeah I got an attitude, but at least I know I’lI never trip about a dude

Bridge:
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey…..sorry what did you say?
Better believe I’m not just for entertainment
Must be out of your mind go get a brain then
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey…..why you always gotta be that way
You should respect me but you gotta make it worse when
You mess with my head insteada treat me like a person

REPEAT CHORUS

Dude
