Lyrics

Album “Sweetness Into the Shadows”

Women Who Love Women

Flowers bloom
In the wintertime
We’re cold and drenched, but warm inside
Holding close from behind
Hands are tightly
Intertwined
No more shame
She is mine, no more blame
And I am fine

But I went back to us
Found what I had forgot
I remember the breakdown
Bottom of the tub
Tears for our love
Tears for how they saw us
While I fought for our love
Tears for your shame
I forgot my own name
And she died that day

Tell my body and tell my soul
Was a woman who loves women wrong
Tell my body and tell my soul
Was a woman who loves women wrong

Spaces of dark
Between the stars
I carry you close you’re a part of me now
Wherever you are
I hope that found
Out who you are
Though I’m not around I hope you found love
And I hope you can start

To heal your body and hear your song
You’re a woman who love women more
Heal our bodies and hear our song
For the women who love women more

Your wings are tying
Pieces of your happiness
Don’t cut them short
Cause wings are for flying
For the fear couldn’t fight
For the blame tied in shame
And it’s all into knots
And it’s hard to see the truth
When in truth they love you not
Tell my body and tell my soul
Was a woman who loves women wrong

Heal our bodies and hear our song
Bring the women who love women home
Heal our bodies and hear our song
Bring the women who love women home

Sweetness In the Shadows

White butterfly flutters by
And you like to disappear and come back
Just in time
I ask if it’s enough
Can I hold on

We turned around to Saturn’s once returned
You are sweetness in the shadows
I’ve learned
The water falling through my hands
I take a drink of the sweetest thing I’ve ever had
You made me laugh

Like a slow growing forest
Bodies separate roots connected
You are the sweetness in the shadows

Learning to let go of what I hold too tight
Not even knowing if there’s anything left to break
In the past I’ve given all I had
Let them take all I have
But when I give too much you hand it back to me
And when I grip too tight you quietly let me breathe
Sometimes love is hard for me
I like to dream

We’re like a slow growing forest
Bodies separate roots connected
You are the sweetness in the shadows

You listen and give space
You hold out freedom in your open hands
You have shown me how to show up

Casanova

Placing his flowers in a porcelain bowl
I mistook for a gift
He gave in a lonesome hour
I reason with the edge of a shadow
Still draped up on my wall
Can’t remember his name
But a face with beautific angles like sun in the rain
My eyes are dripping tears
In my sleep
As I wake

I’m the piece of iron in your shotgun
The empty bullet you shot son
The opening line to your love letter
Eyes bleeding love lines from the feather
I’m the fancy dress on this month’s display
The fabric women all look the same
A flavour for you to chew and spit
I was strong till I was hit
I was stung by that first kiss
A casanova’s daily fix
I was strung by my love’s lips
When I was stung by that first kiss

I found him sipping whiskey with a dark grin
Had her lipstick on the glass beside his mouth upon the rim
He said “Plenty more have come and gone away my love
But it’s you
You’re the only one
The only one I want”

Well I’m the piece of iron in your shotgun
The empty bullet you shot son
The opening line to your love letter
Eyes bleeding love lines from the feather
I’m the fancy dress on this month’s display
The fabric women all look the same
A flavour for you to chew and spit
I was strong till I was hit
I was stung by that first kiss
A casanova’s daily fix
I was strung by my love’s lips
When I was stung by that first kiss

Hmm
I’m standing at the edge
And I’m reasoning with fate
I’d rather be a wild weed
Than a flower in a vase

Placing your flowers in a porcelain tomb
Once a gift now showering in ruins
To be a lonely lover or a young man’s slave
Well I’d rather be a wild weed
Than a flower in a vase

Bodies of Water

I used to walk 4 miles
To sit under a tree
Sandy and covered in dirt
Sweet soul smiling back

What is time where does it go
All of this ebb and flow
May as well let it go and wash it away
In these bodies of water
Biding tears in my eyes
Brightest deep golden pink
Would set fire to sky

I used to walk 4 miles
To sit under a tree
Sandy and covered in dirt
Sweet soul smiling back

What is time where did it go
In the ebb and flow
We had to let it go and wash it away
In these bodies of water
Flowing through mother’s veins
Cleansing our land
With the moon her wing

I will still walk for miles
So strong so free

Hmmm
In these bodies of water

Love Is Love

Still feel afraid
The need to explain myself
Why I am this way
I feel tired I feel ashamed

Instead of staying strong
In my truth I fled I ran from
The woman inside myself
She had been on bed rest inside my chest
Dreaming to be awakened

We’re taught to hide from each other
And we’re taught to hide from ourselves
But love is love
Imagination run wild
And why do we
why do we hide

When I opened up
The memories dug my hand into the
Muddy bathwater to pull out the plug
Years of shame and embarrassment drained
The seeds I’d planted long ago started to grow
Started to grow

And my heart began to blossom
And my heart began to sing
Standing here
Sing into the microphone
And you standing there looking at me
I can’t hold it in my hands
I can’t prove to them what I feel
I dreamt of this so long ago
And now you’re here, now you’re real
I’ve been awakened

We’re taught to hide from each other
And we’re taught to hide from ourselves
But love is love
Imagination run wild
And why do we
why do we hide

Hard To See You

Lately I’ve been learning
How to see the small things
Like when someone shows love
In all the little ways
I look into a sky that’s dark
But me, I’m a little lighter now

Respecting the ways of other’s desires
Now I’ll never yell unless there’s a fire
Or unless I’m rejoicing
The medicine of spring flowers
And I hold you in my heart
A little tighter now

All the things I’ve learned from you
Are in my mind and soul
All the ways you treat your body but you didn’t know
I wonder if you saw the bed you’d made
Would you have tried to change
And I look at you the way I do
It’s hard to see you leave

And when I take my own last breath
I want to look back, let go and feel no regret
I won’t sacrifice a dream
For a fear they’ll leave me
And I look into a sky that’s dark
A little lighter now
And I hold you in my heart
A little tighter now

Album “Daughter Of the Moon”

Wind and Fire
Daughter of the Moon © June 2017

No the wind and fire won’t settle this
By God, by love, by fame
They fight a war inside my head
It’s a blood shedding crying game

Almost worn
Crying on a cold hard floor
Grabbing at the table legs
A struggle to stand alone

Chorus 1
And the wind spins around and around our head
As we bend on the old wood floor
A beam of light shines from my heart
And a tear falls for whats gone

Chorus 2
How I loved you so much I couldn’t feel
When the wind and fire had gone
Now I open up with every breath
And spread the flame I lost

And so I woke to a world out there
To a run-down killed-off land
And the broken bones I had to let them go
I never had a free hand

Counting stars
Follow them into the dark
A torch a fire inside
Running for a new light

Chorus 1, 2, 2, 1

Fall Into Forever
Daughter of the Moon © June 2017

Come distant heart
Fearful child
I want you to
go home for awhile

I never cried for you
I moved away too fast
But now you’re in my dreams
A disease in my chest

And if I find a way to love this house of bones
That I can’t live without
I’d dig you up from underground
And fall
Into forever

You are the one I left home for
And the one I’ll come home to
Grieving is an ocean
I dip my into toes into

And the weight of my head
Is heavy for me now
I used to love you more
Than I did myself

But if I find a way to love this house of bones
That I can’t live without
I’d dig you up from underground
And fall
Into forever

Fall oooo

Head in the clouds
Daughter of the Moon © June 2017

Living everyday like it’s Sunday
You’re like a free bird ready to fly away
Never rushing cause there’s always tomorrow

Sorting out the stars up in the sky
Asking me where the sun is gonna rise
You know you’ve got that thing that you always do You always do to me

Chorus:
I-I-I-I I’ve got my head in the clouds
It’s happening right now
I want you to know
I’m not letting go

You’ve taken me along on this crazy ride
And now the strings can’t seem to be untied
And you know it’s that thing you always do
You always do to me

Chorus

I used to live behind doors sealed up tight
But with you
I’m on the other side
And you know it’s that thing you always do
You always do to me

Chorus x 2

Hummingbird and the Wolf
Daughter of the Moon © June 2017

Brave and bold like the wolf
Dying light passed by the window
You are but a burden
Wings fold around
The barrier that surrounds my heart

I wonder where we go when the heart slows
And I bet that fear could be fed to the wolves
Hummingbird is free
She lets her wings unfold

Her heart can interlace
What her hands can't hold

In the whirling winds I see a broken road
And these fallen trees of debris are my only home
Can it be that we
Got lost out to sea
Or do you wait for me
On an island in my dreams

She has a beautiful home with the earth all around her
Her heart is a hand that holds everyone who is dear
A mother inside of me
You are the wolf
Call out to me
My heart will hear your soul
My heart will heal your soul

——

We’re sailing, we’re sailing
Through the dark cold mountain mist
And the devil placed his hands around
The light we carried in

And now you long for me
For back when we were young
I remember how we were
Back when we were young

Young love, burnt sage, foreplay
And life was made of fun

I’m sailing, I’m sailing
Through a childhood of mess
And the doctor says I need to find
My own true happiness

But now I’m longing
For back when we were young
I remember how we were
Back when we were young

Young love, burnt sage, foreplay
And life was made of fun

A heavy longing
A heavy longing
To have you by my side
Ooo

Young love, burnt sage, foreplay
No more, no more fun
Back when we were young
Life was made of fun
Back when we were young

——

You’re a silent forest
You’re a wildflower
You’ve been moving backwards
Into the wildfire

You’re a sharpened arrow
Spearing hearts stoned cold
You’re a red-winged blackbird
Perched up on the window

You’re a full moon rising
You’re trying to fly
Carried on your a back
A white, blue-eyed tiger
You’re a mother screaming for
Her child dying

And your heart is coming alive
You wildfire

And I saw you’re face
Was the darkest of wars
He never gave you time
Or the space to soar

But you’re a sharpened arrow
That tried to spear a heart stoned cold
You’re a red-winged blackbird
Perched up on the window

You’re a full moon rising
You’re trying to fly
Carried on your a back
A white, blue-eyed tiger
You’re a mother screaming for
Her child dying
And your heart is coming alive

You wildfire

Like an iris blooming
Among the wildflowers
And your heart is moving
Into it’s darkest hour

You’re a full moon rising
You’re trying to fly
Carved into on your a back
A white blue eyed tiger
You’re a mother screaming for
Her child dying
And your heart is coming alive
You wildfire

Oooh Ooo
