Roses in Flames

She builds her house out flowers
Living hour to hour
She watches it burn down
She knows nothing real is sacred
Her eyes are soft and vacant
Her house is burning down
Roses up in flames
Orchids do the same
I know it all burns down
Live another day
She will find a way
I know it all burns down
She builds her house out of flowers
It grows with every shower from the clouds above
She knows life is cruel and twisting
What's harder than existing
Her house is burning downRoses up in flames
Orchids do the same
I know it all burns down
Live another day
She will find a way
I know it all burns down

Lonesome

I'm lonesome as a cowgirl, I'm blowin in the wind
I'm lonesome as a cowgirl, it's how I've always been
Chasing after sunsets helps my mind to forget
Loneliness and regret, every plan I ever had
Cloudy eyes and dusty lips, calloused as my fingertips
Ride into a monsoon, I lost my fear when I lost you
I'm lonesome as a cowgirl, I'm blowin in the wind
I'm lonesome as a cowgirl, it's how I've always been
The one that time did leave behind, those dusty lips and cloudy eyes
A relic of a simpler time, I'm never lost but still I find
I'm lonesome as a cowgirl, I'm blowin in the wind
I'm lonesome as a cowgirl, it's how I've always been
So don't try to change my mind, I'm not the changin kind
Born into this life to a midnight sky beneath a rising moon

Standing at Your Door

Hey little lady, ain't nothin for free
Well you've hung up your hat, set down your dreams
Now you're walking to town with all of your things
Hope you make it to town so that you can see
They're all waitin for you to come out your shell
Well you live in your mind, your personal hell
Disappointed I see, disappointed in me
But you see what you want, it's me your forgot
I'm still standing at your door, still standing at your door
Hey little lady, you made it so far
With a life in your name, a brand new guitar
Now the world's got you down, you don't like who you are
You ain't playing for keeps when you walk down the street
With your head hanging low, your heart on your sleeve
Well I've been there before and I know what you need
But you see what you want, it's me you forgot
I'm still standing at your door, still standing at your door

Where did you come from, where will you go?
Grew up in the sun, died in the snow
Well I told myself a good lie, made it on my own
And I best be on my way now down that winding road
And now don't look back, don't feel bad
Tip your hat for what you have, it might not last
Best not ask what you've done
And I keep my head held up high looking out into the sky
Starry night, it's my fight to be won
Stormy night, it's my fight to be won
Tell me your secrets, tell me of your fears
Warm as a whisper, easy as the years
Flying by my head in decades, reaching for the past
Falling all around like snowflakes covering the grass
And now don't look back, don't feel bad
Tip your hat for what you have, it might not last
Best not ask what you've done
And I keep my head held up high looking out into the sky
Starry night, it's my fight to be won
Stormy night, it's my fight to be won

Drive All Night

He knows my heart better than I'd like him to
He knows I won't go far, only if he asked me to
Mountains in the rear view, reaching over for my hand
Howling at a full moon, calling you across the land
I know he's mine, if only we could have more time
Another life, Another fire, burning into the night
Ashes rise on the breeze, dancing all around the trees
Embers burn, shadows sing, and it feels like it's for you and me
Gotta have you by my side won't you get in the truck, let's drive all night
Chin up looking at the stars, bout the only thing in the world that's ours
Hard times, yeah we made em good and you had my back like you said you would, hard rain like a desert prayer, a southbound train, I'll meet you there
Blue moon, a red sky like a blanket on the hillside
Take it in, take your time, I'll be with you in the morning light
Gotta have you by my side won't you get in the truck, let's drive all night
Chin up looking at the stars, bout the only thing in the world that's ours
Hard times, yeah we made em good and you had my back like you said you would, hard rain like a desert prayer, a southbound train, I'll meet you there

65 on 66

65 on 66 seeing life for what it is
There it goes, here it is
Fading fast, clouds rolling in
Come and go, luck and sorrow, love and reason
Take it slow, watch the changing of the seasons
I am on my way back to you
65 on 66 don't get much better than this
Hanging right, air is thin, take my time, I take it in
I don't mind if it takes a little longer
I just drive, let my thoughts go out and wander
I am on my way back to you
I am on my way back to you

Another Day
03:50
|

Another day for me to love you better
By now you'd think we'd have our shit together
But it's true and real, the depth of how we feel
The dark and light, the golden rays
The dark and light, the golden rays
Yes it's true, love will break you down
Yes I do swear to stick around
I'm her for you, you
Thick as thieves we've got everything we need
Still I pray, for just one more day
Another day for me to love you better
By now, you see I'd follow you forever
Yes it's true love will bring you down
Yes I do swear to stick around
I'm here for you, you

Visions of June
03:08
|

|
Visions of June, me and you in the twilight
It's just the moon, just a phase, just a black eye
One thousand skies, a thousand eyes and reasons
Fair weather friend, guess it's not my season
Yellow and red it's a porcelain sunset
As you intend, as you always wanted
Straight to the heart, it's a start, it's a bullseye
Simple advice, so precise, such a bold lie

I Wish You Would
03:19
|

|
Feed your ego with the flames of what's burning, what remains
In my grieving, comes in waves I can't fill that hole oh, I wish you would
In a heartbeat in a blinking eye beg for mercy, to go back in time
Time keeps turning, turning tears to wine, I can't cry no more, oh I wish you would
Oh, those ashes, they turn back to dust
Oh, those ashes, they turn back to dust
From the ashes of another time, do you look back
Do you wonder why we were drifting
I'm still on your side, I just realized, oh I wish you would
Oh, those ashes they turn back to dust.

Anywhere But Here
02:59

Take me away on a north bound train
Pastures of memories, mountains of pain
At the dawn of the day, you know what they say,
The wild at heart will never be tamed
Is it too late for my childhood dream?
Am I not the woman I hoped I could be?
Just o'er the hill is the grass still green?
Anywhere but here's where I want to be
Racing the clock, 9 on the dot
Closer to heaven than you ever had thought
Angels come near, I see them so clear.
Daring as daydreams they all disappear
Is it too late for my childhood dream
Am I not the woman I hoped I could be?
Just o'er the hill is that grass still green?
Anywhere but here's where I want to be
