If you hold on and I find you
And we learn to do what we must do
What is true for you?
Is it true for me?
Does it spin so fast we can’t see
What we’re doing here
Cause nothing’s really clear
Someone tell me how it’s meant to be
When I look in your eyes
I see a disguise
Sometimes it is all I can see
All I can see, and I’m not free
I’m not free
Till we find it and we know it
And we have the guts to show it
What is true for me
Is it true for you?
Nevermind, the sun is shining through
Just a little light
Coming through the night
And now you’re gonna take me in your arms
Everything I see
Is how it’s meant to be
But don’t you know I’m blinded by your charms
I am so blind, but it’s so fine
It’s so fine

Your House Is Burning
04:13
|
|||
|
Your house was burning a decade ago
How it all started they don’t really know
Maybe a match spark got caught in your clothes
But when your house is burning down
You’ll need a hose
Make sure your loved ones are out of the door
Grab your possessions you should have grabbed more
Throwing your stinging face down in the snow
When your house is burning down
You’ve got to go
Watch all the smoke billow up to the sky
All of your hopes, and all of your lies
Who could have thought of this awful surprise
But when your house is burning down
Everyone cries
Don’t fool with matches, and don’t fool with fate
Even when you have too much on your plate
And if you encounter love don’t hesitate
Cause when your house is burning down,
It is too late
Jimmy and Martha stood on the next block
When it was over they started to walk
All through the night and the very next day
Cause when your house is burning down
You’re blown away

Middle of the Night
02:11
|
|||
|
Well you look to the left, look to the right
How do we end up in the middle of the night?
In with the breeze, planting its seed, better take heed
Well you look to the sky, look to the ground
Open your eyes and your hearing the sound
In with the breeze, planting its seed, better take heed
Well I miss your touch, everything about you was so wrong
But I know too much, I cannot return where I came from
In with the new, out with the old
I’ve been so blue now I’ve gotta be bold
In with the breeze, planting its seed, better take heed

Found Love
02:30
|
|||
|
Well I was desperate and lonely and down in the mouth
I was saddened by all that I did see
And the music I was hearing was a little bit too loud,
Since I found love a change come over me
Well my face in this play was a downhearted mask
If you saw me on the street you’d turn away
But he came and he gave me more than I could ever ask
That’s why I’m so different today
Cause I am happy to live in a world where the birds
Sing and call as they fly from tree to tree
Oh I am happy to give, I’m a sweet-hearted girl
Since I found love a change come over me
Well you’re desperate and you’re lonely and you turn on your TV
And they tell you America is the place
And you go out and try to be who you’re supposed to be
That American Dream just slaps you in the face
But I am happy to live in a world where the birds
Sing and call as they fly from tree to tree
Oh I am happy to give, I’m a sweet-hearted girl
Since I found love a change come over me

How Do You Survive
04:55
|
|||
|
How do you survive? How do you stay alive?
Where do you go when it’s all hurt you so?
Why do you keep watching me with sorrow in your eyes?
Don’t you know I like to put some fun in my disguise?
Where is the mirth that we felt at your birth?
Where is the joy when you were a little boy?
Once the sun was shining, we were riding ‘cross the plains
Then the wind began to blow and we both lost the reins
Look around, I’m right behind you
Take my hand, I think I found you
It isn’t how we thought it would be
But love might save us,
Love could set us free.
How do you survive? How can we stay alive?
Where do we go when it’s all hurt us so?
Turn around, I’m right behind you
Take my hand, I think I found
It isn’t how we thought it would be
But love might save us,
Love might set us free.

C’mon let’s get going
Even though what we’re knowing
Just keeps on blowing
Clear out of sight
C’mon let’s get strolling
Even though we’re rolling
Like a locomotive
Deep into the night
You be northern, I’ll be southern
Maybe we can meet in the middle
Look around you, doesn’t it astound you?
Or maybe you recognize it a little?
Your eyes, my eyes
Cannot disguise what we’re feeling
And if we’re feeling this good
People wonder if we should
And they think maybe there’s
Something we’re stealing
Let’s find beauty, that’s our duty
That’s what Keats said and it sure sounds good
Well he had his say and then he went his way
Some people think, sooner than he should

Deeper Shadows
03:30
|
|||
|
Sometimes in the deeper shadow of my dreams
I can see you walking, at least that’s what it seems
Then there comes the longing, I being to ache
Such a lot of hopelessness, but this is what it takes
I’ve walked with you this far
Underneath this star
Dreams can be like falling, deep into a well
In the rush of darkness, you can hardly tell
Who is close to you?
Who is falling first?
Who will love this mystery?
Who will die of thirst?
Who will have their day?
Who will turn around?
Who is glory bound?
Tell me what to do with it
Tell me are we through with it?
There must be some mistake
If this is what it takes
To find such sweet sweet hope in the face of agony
In the face of tragedy, in the face of strife
I will soldier on, in spite of what it does to me
In spite of what it was to me, this is still my life

Open Road
02:52
|
|||
|
I like the feeling of the open road, and the wind blowing through my hair
I don’t like knowing where I’m gonna go, I’m happy anywhere
Sometimes this world is heavy on my shoulders
Eyes of misery surrounding me
The past comes rolling like a boulder and it’s right behind me!
Most of us we lead a lonely life, but we don’t like to let on
What if it’s lonely and it’s filled with strife,
And then sooner or later it’s gone?
I know that life is a miracle
I don’t even like to sound satirical
We are given just so much, and it can come alive at your touch!
Coming over the top of the hill
A thousand people standing there
My heart is open it won’t take much will to look around and care
See the children swaying to the music
It’s beautiful, isn’t it?
Everything in life begins to fit, but that mystery just won’t quit!

Leaving Things
04:53
|
|||
|
I guess I’m always leaving things
I guess it’s a curse
To feel like there’s no way out
Well, maybe that’s worse
I didn’t mean to hurt you this way
Now look at me, what can I say?
All of those things I couldn’t see
I’m seeing them now
All of the springs that couldn’t be
Are here anyhow
I’m outside without a key
Let’s take that ride
You come with me
Spinning up, spinning down
And we’re turning around
I could tell the end was coming
Spinning in, spinning out
I can’t figure it out, all I know is
We are running!
I see my life exploding
Coming over the hill
I see the love you’re holding
Can you hold it still?

Bye Bye
03:24
|
|||
|
How do you know what you’re searching for?
How do we know what we’re looking for?
These are the days, how they fly!
How will we learn how to say bye bye?
How do I know what you’re teaching me?
How do you know what I’m teaching you?
Nobody knows where we go
Who’s gonna say, “I told you so!”?
I will let sorrow wash over me
I will let joy wash over me too
These are the days, how they fly!
How do we learn how to say bye bye?

I’m so grateful this crossed my path. This album is so beautiful. All the clear technique and mastery and vision are kinda secondary to the fact that this album brought me calm and joy during one of the most difficult times in my life. Yeah, grateful.

Her voice, the vulnerability within, and a glorious sound, not overproduced but natural. 'Tender Heart' gets me - resonates in a way that is sad and glorious simultaneously. Discordant guitars behind a clean acoustic and voice ballad. Love her voice, her lyrics. Great album.

Reminds me of getting back home after a long road-trip. That feeling of relief. The peace of being in your own presence.
