Missing You
02:21

It’s a feeling in my chest
That I’ve never felt before
Glad for what we’ve got
Still wanting more
Wishing you would just show up right now
At our front door
I’m missing you
It’s okay that I’m missing you
It’s a knowing in my gut
That you’re good for me
And I’m good for you
Without even trying to be
And for once I am just fine
With let’s just wait and see
Still I’m missing you
It’s okay that I’m missing you
Try not to blame
Try not to claim that there’s a reason
But just the same
Listen to the changing seasons
It’s a trust in all of this
The pleasure and the pain
Storms and fog
Sun and rain
You’ll take me there
And we will know what we became
While I was missing you
So many days missing you
It’s okay that I’m missing you
But I’m still missing you

Leaves
02:26

No matter what happens next I know
None of us is a dead end dangling
From a sprawling treetop canopy
None of us is a dead end dangling
Fleshy fruit or brittle twig in the breeze
We all fall down eventually
Care for the soil and the little seeds
Immeasurable mulching of our leaves
Oooh ooooh
No matter how dark it gets I know
I can see the violet in the rainbow
Piercing through the haze in the winter
I can see the violet in the rainbow
Set my anchor let my kite soar
Intertwining roots on the forest floor
Take a little, give a little more
No one can tell you what your love is for
Just care for the soil and the seeds ...oooooh
Brittle twig in the breeze ...oooooh
Mulching over our leaves ...oooooh
Mulching over our leaves ...oooooh

Surviving
04:36
|

Now that I’m sturdier, I can try
To put it into words and answer why
Those countless hours I wasted, day and night
To make myself feel empty inside
Empty and clean, surviving, unseen
He got away with it in the dark
How many more still carry his mark
And we push it down, we wash it away
As if we could lose invisible weight
Empty and clean, surviving unseen
And I started to wound myself
When I was too confused to ask for help
Looking for control, to find the crossed line
To take back my body as if it wasn’t mine
Just a little girl on a trundle bed
When he took something from me because he could
But finally I know there’s a boundary
And I know the difference between bad and good
Between can’t and should and wish you would
So many moments misunderstood
Empty and clean, surviving unseen
Empty and clean, I’m surviving, I am seen

Moving On
03:45
|

Morning light at the lagoon
Looking for some clarity
Letting go of what I’ll lose
When I find a brighter me
Something gained, another gone
Nothing comes for free
Moving on
Slowing down and eating well
Being who I wanna be
No compartments on the job
Boundaries or niceties
The perfect sun will pass on by
Nothing stays the same
Moving on
Living someone else’s life
To take a break from my own
Opens up a peace of mind
A home away from home
Take the dogs out on a hike
Watch the birds communicate
See the chaparral in bloom
In its native natural state
Not sure why it took me so long
Moving on
Moving on
Moving on

One More Dinner Alone
02:35
|

One more dinner alone
Waitin for my baby to come back home
Oh I made him a plate but his train’s runnin late
So tonight I’m eatin one more dinner alone
Sun’s hangin low in the sky
Watchin the fog as the birds fly by
Oh my days have been long without my love’s morning song
So tonight the sun’s hangin low in the sky
You could say I’ve got a weakness for comfort and
You could say I’m just a homebody love junkie
But I know this is the feeling that I was lookin for
One more evening to myself
Takin it easy for my heart and my health
When my baby comes back can we let this longing last
Oh tonight I’ve got one more evening all to myself

Old Companion
04:27
|
|||
Six months from now
Will I be free
From this conflicted part of me
After a year
Will I have a new way
To relax my mind at the end of the day
Without my dear old companion
Who soothed me all these years
I had a feeling
That started to grow
Til I pushed it down too far below
But while I still can
I just have to try
Before all my chances pass me by
Without my dear old companion
Who soothed me all these years
Before the show, and after too
To pass the time, to start a new
To make it feel magic, to make it feel true
To turn off my mind, to just make it through
To just make it through
Without my dear old companion
Who soothed me all these years
Who soothed me all these years
Who soothed me all these years

In Another Time
02:11
|
|||
You’ve been looking at the
Pictures on the screen
Everything you’ve seen
Happening before our eyes
And someone far away has
Memories to share
An apple and a pear
From trees they planted in another
Time when setting roots
Was the bravest thing
Anyone could do
Now we’re turning into
Something we don’t know
On and on with the show
Play it again, press rewind
And distance is a wound that needs
A remedy to heal
A hearty home cooked meal
From seeds we planted in another
Time when growing
Was the bravest thing
When knowing
Was the strongest thing
When trusting
Was the kindest thing
Anyone could do

Amateur
04:45
|

I wanna be an amateur forever
Wanna do it all for fun
But simple living is expensive
And without money I might come undone
I wanna make my songs for the love of it
And never burn out
And still be treated as a professional
And stand behind my work without any doubt
Oh nobody else can tell you
How to make the most of it
Ooh nobody else can tell you
How your puzzle pieces will begin to fit
Amateur (Do it for love)
Amateur (Gettin just enough)
Amateur (Make the gig pay)
Amateur (Don’t forget how to play)
I wanna be the old lady at the coffee shop
Playin songs about her past
With a glimmer in the corner of her eye
Cus she figured out how to make the magic last
Amateur (Do it for love)
Amateur (Gettin just enough)
Amateur (Make the gig pay)
Amateur (Don’t forget how to play)
Oh nobody else can tell you
How to make the most of it
Ooh nobody else can tell you
How your puzzle pieces will begin to fit
Amateur (Do it for love)
Amateur (Gettin just enough)
Amateur (Make the gig pay)
Amateur (Don’t forget how to play)
