Song #8 Somedays - Music by Regina Spektor and Lyrics by Regina Spektor and Drew Sorrells
Somedays aren't yours at all
they come and go as if they're someone else's days
they come and leave you behind someone else's face
and it's harsher than yours
and colder than yours.
They come in all quiet sweep up and then they leave,
and you don't hear a single floorboard creak.
They're so much stronger than the friends you try to keep
by your side.
Drowning, drowning
I can't help
Not anymore, don't fall don't go away from sight, don't hide
You are just like my father,
I wanna have your baby
I think I'll love you forever
So can I please.
I'm drowning, drowning
I can't help
Not anymore don't go I love you don't run don't hide
I love myself please stay by my side
Don't fall, don't fall, don't run, don't hide
Don't hide, don't hide, don't hide, don't hide
Somedays aren't yours at all,
they come and go as if they're someone else's days.
They come and leave you behind someone else's face
And it's harsher than yours.
Song #13 True Blue - Music and Lyrics by Drew Sorrells
Is it so, you took my on a flight
that left your emotions furled
Is it so, you flew me like you flew no other girl
you held me tight
kissed my lips so light.
Is it so, I opened my wings
let time stand still for you.
Is it so, I fell in love with you
in hardly any time
Our body's entwined
Our kisses so divine.
Our love it was like the sky
never falling down.
Never turns to say goodbye
True Blue - like your eyes
Is is so, the weather grew worse
as our flight continued on.
And is it so, you kept me in the air
even though your heart was gone
But you held me tight
kissed my lips so light.
Is it so, you left me like you left Telluride.
And is it so you wouldn't pay the landing fee to save your life.
You won't go back to save your life.
True Blue, like your eyes
I trust you in the sky
You never wanted my spirit to die
instead you said goodbye.
Our love it was like the sky
never falling down.
And never turns to say goodbye
I thought your blue eyes could fly.
Song #6 Our Home - Music and Lyrics by Drew Sorrells
You spun a picture of your dream
that wrapped around my feelings
the things you said were the most
incredible to me.
Though it may be just the way I
interpreted it.
It seemed you were describing
The house you want to live in
But what I heard had a space for me
in your soul and in your heart.
Color your room then color mine, then color ours through time.
I walked into the house
that you had described.
You said it had a secret room
only ever you had seen,
the room where you fully
blossom your soul.
Next I knew we were walking
thru a glass breezeway.
You took my hand and you held it tight
opening up the secret room.
Color your room, then color mine, then color ours through time.
Hold me
I'm falling
I'm scared
to show myself to you.
Trust me girl
I will catch you and
We'll find...and we'll find
Shelter without a roof
structure without walls
a floor we can stand on
and call our home.
Song #10 Mirror of Fear - Music and Lyrics by Drew Sorrells
My heart's sliced open
its blood you suck.
You get a temporary feeling
the love of which you lust.
But you intend to leave it idle
waiting for its death.
The fear you have of living
takes life's precious breath.
But I see you
you hide in your fear.
Can tears of ice
make the past disappear.
Come to me
let yourself be seen.
Come to me
let yourself be free
Now, do I know that this is your fear
or is it really mine.
Because if life is just a mirror
the truth will shine...
on me, oh on me...
painfully on me.
The truth will shi-i-i-ne on me,
shine on me.
But I see you
you hide in your fear.
Can tears of ice
make the past disappear.
Come to me
let yourself be seen.
Come to me
let yourself be free.
Song #11 Letting Go - Music and Lyrics by Drew Sorrells
How do you know
when to let go.
Are there signs or are there messages from above?
Do I hear you out
or do I tell you
it's time for me to go,
but you're acting like there's something I should know.
In the breezy calming nature of this wind,
I feel my senses driving me within.
I still see you, I still touch you
oh-oo-oh you're so divine,
but I'm crazy in the making of my lines.
To let go, let go, I want you to let goo-o-o
I watched you from a distance
happily strolling by.
You had an effervescent lightness to your gait.
But then you saw me looking out my window,
and your happiness seemed to fade away.
Let go, let go, I want to let you go-o-o.
Sometimes I fail,
to know the scale,
of the steps I need to take for happiness.
Let go, let go, I've let you go-o-o.
Song #7 By Your Side - Music and Lyrics by Drew Sorrells
Been driving that old car for 32 years,
you were ready to find a new home.
So you drove to that oh so familiar place
where you're cared for, loved, and warmed.
To meet an old familiar friend,
who you see every now and then.
I saw your sweet face across the terrace way
your eyes looked like windows to my heart.
Our secret conversation,
was some rare from of art.
And my thoughts became yours,
and your love wrapped around my core.
I was dreaming, we were married,
traveling far away, finding new ways,
new ways.
We met at your familiar place,
had wine and a bite to eat.
Our words were like a magic dance
and philosophy was deep.
Mm, mm it's those eyes.
Your eyes look like mine.
You were dreaming of making love,
your arms around me,
holding our love, though eternity.
A week went by we walked on the creek,
you told me you left your wife.
My heart leaped out in disbelief
and I told you not to cry.
I'll be by your side,
I know I'll be by your side,
always by your side,
you know I'll be by your side.
Song #2 - Jimmy - Music and Lyrics by Drew Sorrells
She was born into this world
feeling not quite right.
Her life was dressed in masquerade,
but behind closed doors she cold shine.
The family photo proved God wrong
Jimmy, oh Jimmy you'll get along.
She met a woman, an angel
who gently took her hand.
Said hush hush little girl, you don't have to cry
for God has a different plan.
She fell to the floor and cried and cried,
she's so sensitive...for a guy.
Wouldn't you know it's true,
She'd find her way in this world.
The day she took her liberty
to be a woman free and strong.
She looked at her kids and nervously
said I'm finally man enough to be your mom.
Then fell to the floor and cried and cried,
She's so sensitive...for a guy.
She fell to the floor and cried and cried,
Jimmy oh Jimmy you're gonna fly
Jimmy oh Jimmy...you're gonna fly-y-y
Song #4 Never Sundays - Music and Lyrics by Drew Sorrells
We were moving right along
making history
We traveled far, exploring wide
Never was our freedom drained.
On day you spoke of me so fine
Said you liked all of me
in a field of golden rays
you proclaimed your love to me.
I thought you would
always
love me.
I thought it was
for eternity
I hope, and I believed.
It was like a ritual
we'd have our best exchange.
The sun would rest its weary head
And you'd be on the phone to me.
The weeks went by
a pattern grew
the Sundays fell away.
We kept our visits, our rendezvous
but one thing's never been the same.
You never call me
on Sundays.
You never think of me,
on that oh so sacred day,
what should I believe,
what do I believe?!
Eventually I put my heart
on some sort of hold.
You didn't notice
how sad I was,
that I cold feel you getting cold.
You caught yourself drifting back
thinking about your history.
Into that old impossible dream
and still one thing hasn't changed.
You never call me
on Sundays.
You never think of me.
Are you swimming in sad memories,
what should I believe?

It wouldn't take me long
To tell you how to find it
To tell you where we'll meet
This little girl inside me
Is retreating to her favorite place
Go into the garden,
go under the ivy
Under the leaves,
away from the party
Go right to the rose
Go right to the white rose
I sit here in the thunder
The green on the gray
I feel it all around me
And it's not easy for me
To give away a secret
It's not safe
To go into the garden,
go under the ivy
Under the leaves,
away from the party
Go right to the rose
Go right to the white rose
Go into the garden,
go under the ivy
Go under the leaves with me
Go right to the rose
Go right to the white rose
I'll be waiting for youIt wouldn't take me long
To tell you how to find it
And the whole world is on your case
I could offer a warm embrace
To make you feel my love
And there is no one there to dry your tears
I could hold you for a million years
To make you feel my love
But I would never do you wrong
I've known it from the moment that we met
No doubt in my mind where you belong
I'd go crawling down the avenue
And oh, there's nothing that I wouldn't do
To make you feel my love
And on the highway of regret
The winds of change are blowing wild and free
You ain't seen nothing like me yet
Nothing that I wouldn't do
Go to the ends of the earth for you
To make you feel my love
