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

Verse 1:
Why can't my heart keep a beat? I call his name in my sleep
Thought he'd be mine to keep, Yeah yeah
He had me at hello, but I had to watch him go
Broke my heart more than he knows, Yeah yeah

Pre-Chorus:
Gonna hold my breath and pray, that he'll realize one day...

Chorus 1:
I'm gonna win back love, I’m gonna win back love
Show him all the things he's dreaming of, I'm gonna win back love

Verse 2:
Hearts together in the morning light, shooting stars in the dark of night
Always knew his love was dynamite, Yeah yeah
I’ve never known a more tender soul, but I didn’t let him know
Am I prepared to let him go?      No no

REPEAT PRE-CHORUS 

CHORUS 2:
I'm gonna win back love, I’m gonna win back love
I never could give him enough, I'm gonna win back love

Bridge:
Follow your heart and let it guide you, I know I'll always belong beside you

REPEAT CHORUS 1 and Chorus 2 (with turnaround)

"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
