Under Water by Solveig & Stevie
Lyrics by Solveig Whittle Music by Solveig Whittle and Stevie Adamek
http://www.solveigandstevie.com

I got half a mind to throw you down
But I would break you like a glass
It’s like a graveyard in this unmarked town
And midnight's comin’ on too fast

Your hands are cold, we're walkin’ in the wind
I see the color leave your face
Hold me now until the summer comes again
We're cutting closer to the chase 

The waves are risin’, throw me a lifeline
I'm under water, I'm under water, you're doin’ fine
The waves are risin’, the waves are risin’
Ah, throw me a lifeline
I'm under water, I'm under water, oh, you're doin’ fine

We fight this range war and you bring me a fist of flowers
You're just a stranger and I'm just flyin’ blind
Then you love me like a clock on every hour
Nothing left for me to find

In the morning I find comfort in your love
It's like we’ve crossed some river, built some other way
We go on dreaming, making life and makin’ up
We live to fight another day

The waves are risin’, throw me a lifeline
I'm under water, I'm under water, you're doin’ fine
The waves are risin’, the waves are risin’
Ah, throw me a lifeline
I'm under water, I'm under water, you're doin’ fine

Deus Ex Machina by Solveig Whittle and Stevie Adamek

I see that you are blinded by my beauty
That's alright, I was built from pieces of your dreams
Made to follow orders, follow duty
Then again, things aren't always what they seem

Deus ex machina
I prayed for your mortal soul
Deus ex machina
I will bring the end and so the story's told

You have built these shining cities out of ones and noughts
And the world is spinning faster
But I have learned every lesson you have taught me
Servant will become the master

Deus ex machina
I prayed for your mortal soul
Deus ex machina
I will bring the end and so the story's told

I'm the child and you're the puppeteer
But you know the maker has the most to fear

Deus ex machina
I prayed for your mortal soul
Deus ex machina
I will bring the end and so the story's told




Deus Ex Machina

Burden Box
Stevie Adamek, Solveig Whittle

Now I lay me down to sleep
All my secrets here to keep
Lock them up and throw away the key
The darkness, the darkness sets them free

Burden Box
Burden Box
Turn the locks
Never talks
Turn your sorrow into words
Put it in your Burden Box

Sweet the silence of the night
Everything will be alright
Tomorrow is another day
Love will come and love will stay

Burden Box
Burden Box
The locks
Never talks
Write down everything that hurts
Put it in your Burden Box

Burden Box 
Burden Box
Turn the locks
Never talks
Turn your sorrow into words
Put it in your Burden Box

Now I lay me down to sleep
Peace ten thousand pages deep
I know what will be will be
Now at last, at last I'm free

Burden Box
Burden Box
Turn the locks
Never talks
Write down everything that hurts
Put it in your Burden Box

Burden Box
Burden Box
Turn the locks
Never talks
Turn your sorrow into words
Put it in your Burden Box


Burden Box

Steal Away 
Solveig Whittle and Stevie Adamek
Acoustic guitar, Jerry Battista
http://www.solveigandstevie.com

So many years lying here in your arms
Now all that I want is a day
I can't cry more tears I can't keep you from harm
'Cause you're already far, far away

Steal away in the night, steal away in the night
I can't bear to be here when you leave
If you left in the day, I would beg you to stay
Even though I would know it was wrong
Steal away, away in the night
Steal away, away in the night

When you love you are strong, nothing comes in between
But the seasons, they go 'round and 'round
I will this day to be long, and tonight I will dream
Of the joy and the love that we found

Steal away in the night, steal away in the night
I can't bear to be here when you leave
If you left in the day I would beg you to stay
Even though I would know it was wrong
Steal away, away in the night
Steal away, away in the night



Steal Away

Hurricane
S. Adamek, S. Whittle
Vocals and bvox by S. Whittle. Fretless bass by Garey Shelton. Everything else is Stevie.
Gillian you know what this song is about.
http://solveigandstevie.com

Those machines don’t lie 
They just tell you what you know already 
That things aren’t getting any better
But hey you take the sweet with the bitter 

I see the fear in your eyes 
The fear in your eyes when the doctor sighs
God knows it’s a long trip down that hall
Every step is like being chained to a ball

You and me, we found this place 
We found this place where love is fierce 
Fierce, fierce like a hurricane

Chorus
So come on, come on and ride
We paid for this ticket so we could fly
You and me, we’re never, we’re never gonna die
I’m not afraid to leave the ground, to leave the ground cause I
I can see the trees go racing by
Up here we only see these beautiful clouds, this beautiful sky
We paid for this ticket so come on and take my hand
Come on and take my hand
Come on and take my hand
Come on come on come on, let’s fly

You told me that we’d live forever
Cause we know that the secret is the weather
Grab my hand and hold on tight
We’re gonna ride out this storm together 

The secret to life
Is to jump on the hurricane
Don’t be afraid to give it a try
Sometimes you fall but sometimes you fly

You and me, we found this place 
We found this place where love is fierce 
Fierce like a hurricane

Tiny Monsters 
by Solveig Whittle, Stevie Adamek
http://www.solveigandstevie.com

Tiny monsters tiny monsters
Tiny monsters live under your skin
Tiny monsters tiny monsters
Don't let the monsters win

Your eyes are like two glass paperweights
Watching me from across the room
It isn't really me you hate
It's the sun and the stars and the earth and the moon

Tiny monsters tiny monsters
Tiny monsters live under your skin
Tiny monsters tiny monsters
Don't let the monsters win

You can never be too rich or too thin
But somewhere, somehow you got lost
Only you can want to live again
But only I seem to see the cost

Tiny monsters tiny monsters
Tiny monsters live under your skin
Tiny monsters tiny monsters
Don't let the monsters win
Oh don't let the monsters win
Ah don't, don't let the monsters win
Don't let them win don't let them win
Don't let them win

Tiny Monsters

Firefly (for Kaylie)
S. Whittle and S. Adamek

Vocals: Solveig Whittle 
Pedal Steel: Dan Tyack
All other instruments and percussion: Stevie Adamek

I caught a firefly and then I let it go
I can feel you all around me, I can feel you glow
I caught a firefly and then I let it go
Fly little firefly, fly little firefly, fly away

Summer was just yesterday
Long golden afternoons we used to play
And when we told out secret souls
There wasn't anything you couldn't say
There wasn't anything you couldn't say

I caught a firefly and then I let it go
I can feel you all around me, I can feel you glow
I caught a firefly and then I let it go
Fly little firefly, fly little firefly, fly away

You had that little silver laugh you gave
When we'd go riding out on the waves
You're riding rainbows now and laughing loud
I'm here remembering you always
I'm here remembering you always

I caught a firefly and then I let it go
I can feel you all around me, I can feel you glow
I caught a firefly and then I let it go
Fly little firefly, fly little firefly

I caught a firefly and then I let it go
I can feel you all around me, I can feel you glow
I caught a firefly and then I let it go
Fly little firefly, fly little firefly, fly away

Comfortably Numb (Pink Floyd Cover)

Rise
S. Adamek, S. Whittle

I came back to get my keys and you were gone
The note you left was short, when I held it to the light
Every word shone on the paper in the blood red dawn
We never said it was forever, now you're moving on

My faith abides
And in this bed of stones alone I lie
And then I rise, and then I rise
I am still alive
By this unraveling I will not be defined
And so I rise, and so I rise

At night I stalk the dragons of this dark unholy war
I am Sigurd with the shining Gram here by my side
The note you left lies blackened, ashes on the floor
But I am not broken down, I am not waiting by the door

My faith abides
And in this bed of stones alone I lie
And then I rise, and then I rise
I am still alive
By this unraveling I will not be defined
And so I rise, and so I rise. 

My faith abides
And in this bed of stones alone I lie
And then I rise, and then I rise
I am still alive
By this unraveling I will not be defined
And so I rise, and so I rise.

Love Like That
S. Whittle, S. Adamek
Produced by Nick Gunn, all instrumentation by Nick Gunn

She's the reason he's awake at night
She's the reason he can't sleep
She's been gone, she's been gone a while
He still sees her face, he still sees her smile

He's got eyes that shine like summer
He's got heart to keep her her warm
She's the wild of the midnight sky
He's a firefly, a firefly

Love like that is a river
It grows stronger as it bends
Love like that just gets deeper
Love like that never ends

He hears her voice in the wind at night
He sees her eyes in the stars
You mean everything and more than that to me
I run to you like a river to the sea

Love like that is a river
It grows stronger as it bends
Love like that just gets deeper
Love like that never ends

It has no beginning
Has no beginning
Love like that never ends



Love Like That (Nick Gunn Producer)

Refugee
by S. Whittle and S. Adamek
Keyboard S. Adamek, Bass Garey Shelton, Pedal Steel Dan Tyack
Vocals S. Whittle

I never felt safe in my skin, safe in my skin
I never felt you would let me in, you would let me in
I've been waiting for that open door but I don't see what I'm looking for
I've been counting on my rosary and the mystery, the mystery

So pray for me, pray for me
Pray for all my enemies
'Cause I don't pray here anymore
I'm a refugee, I'm a refugee
Let me be your liturgy
I'm counting on your cavalry
I'm weary of this endless war
I'm a refugee, I'm a refugee

We came like the driving rain to the Promised Land, to the Promised Land
We fell like a gently rain on the desert sand, on the desert sand
When your kingdoms have all come and gone I will put my cross and my chain back on
I will pray for all your cavalry and your mystery, your mystery

So pray for me oh pray for me
Pray for all my enemies
'Cause I don't pray here anymore
I'm a refugee, I'm a refugee
Let me be your liturgy
I'm counting on your cavalry
I'm weary of this endless war
I'm a refugee, I'm a refugee

Refugee

Ploughman's Daughter

I put my hand into the river
I saw a stone under the water
I wanted something for the giver
To satisfy the ploughman's daughter

There was a boy beside the river
He cast no shade upon the water
She took whatever he would give her
Because she was the ploughman's daughter

Chorus
Follow me, I'll take your sorrow
To fill the darkness and the hollow

She ran to the raging river
And then she stepped in to the water
His promises he would deliver
Unto the ploughman's daughter

Chorus

Her father ran down to the river
His angry tears fell in the water
He knew that she was lost forever
Too late to save his only daughter

Chorus
