Two to Tango
03:40
|
|||
|
Once ago and far upon a long long time away
I dreamed about the life I’d grow to live
I pictured all the wicked souls who’d go and break my heart
I conjured up the one I would forgive
And in my mind, I always was the victim
‘Cause that is how the stories all were told
But I was not cut out to be the damsel in distress
No that was never meant to be my role
So demonize me, it takes two to tango
When you’re listening to Django you can’t help but make mistakes
Yeah demonize me, I was just as much at fault
You bring the wound I’ll bring the salt, if that’s what it takes
So I was on this pedestal left out on display
Nowhere left for me to go but down (down, down)
When you fall from such great heights some things get broken on the way
But it’s crazy how you land without a sound
And in my heart, I knew that I was lost
No breadcrumb trail for me to find my way
All alone out in the woods but far from helpless
Somehow I survived to see the day
So demonize me, it takes two to tango
When you’re listening to Django you can’t help but make mistakes
Yeah demonize me, I was just as much at fault
You bring the wound I’ll bring the salt, if that’s what it takes
So demonize me, it takes two to tango
When you’re listening to Django you can’t help but make mistakes
Yeah demonize me, I was just as much at fault
You bring the wound I’ll bring the salt, if that’s what it takes
You bring the wound I’ll bring the salt, if that’s what it takes

Enough
04:02
|
|||
|
Deep down I don’t believe in this image that you see
Deep down I don’t believe that I’m enough
And everything I do for me for them for you
Yes everything I do I do for love
But no matter what I do it’s not enough for you
Never seems to be anything left for me
And I have had enough, no I am not so tough
Yes I have had enough and I am tired
And you can see right through, you’ve had a front row view
Yes you can see right through to my demise
But no matter what I do it’s not enough for you
Never seems to be anything left for me
And I should really go, find a way to just say no
Yes I should really go and get some sleep
And you could hold me close, while I’m resting in repose
Yes you could hold me close, my soul to keep.

You’re my old, you’re my new
You’re my borrowed, you’re my blue
And when things fell apart
You stuck around, held onto my heart
And I love you, much more than I knew
And you love me, more than I thought I could be
I thank God you found me
You’re my heart, you’re my soul
You’re the part that makes us whole
You make me laugh, right out loud
You’re my beacon in the crowd
And I love you, much more than I knew
And you love me, more than I thought I could be
I thank God you found me
You’re my old, you’re my new
You’re my borrowed, you’re my blue
You make me laugh, right out loud
You’re my beacon in the crowd
And I love you, much more than I knew
And you love me, more than I thought I could be
I thank God, oh God I thank God, I thank God you found me

Speaking Out
02:58
|
|||
|
I shake my head and look away
You don’t hear a single word I say
No means no you can’t have it your way
No is not some little game I play
Years of secrets, shame, and doubt
I’m speaking out
I am not a piece of property
To be mistreated so recklessly
Keep your filthy hands off of me
Let me walk away, let me be
Years of secrets, shame, and doubt
I’m speaking out
Countless women from countless lives
Girlfriends, daughters, sisters, and wives
Thought that silence was our only choice
Now together, we’re finding a voice
No more secrets, shame, and doubt
We’re speaking out
Speaking out
Speaking out

Keep Coming Back
03:19
|
|||
|
I keep comin back for you, don’t know why I do
Keep comin’ back for you
I keep comin back for you, don’t know why I do
Keep comin’ back for you
Sometimes we walk at the same pace other times we’re in a race
But time can’t turn back or erase all of our mistakes
I keep comin back for you, don’t know why I do
Keep comin’ back for you
I keep comin back for you, don’t know why I do
Keep comin’ back for you
Sometimes we walk in circles and pretend that we enjoy this dance
But love is hard to understand you have to take a chance
I keep comin back for you, don’t know why I do
Keep comin’ back for you
I keep comin back for you, don’t know why I do
Keep comin’ back for you
Keep comin’ back, keep comin’ back, keep comin’ back for you
Keep comin’ back, keep comin’ back, keep comin’ back for you
You tell me I should go ahead but I can’t hear these words you said
And all these words run through my head I circle back instead
I keep comin back for you, don’t know why I do
Keep comin’ back for you
I keep comin back for you, guess I always knew
That I’d keep comin’ back, keep on comin’ back
I keep comin’ back for you

Vagabond
03:22
|
|||
|
She flutters by, her head in the sky
She’s a vagabond
She flies alone, searching for home
She’s a renegade
Straight into the wind, she lets her heart sing
She’s a vagabond
She rides the updraft, lets out a laugh
She’s a renegade
She lights down on a daisy
They all say she’s crazy
To place all her hopes on that simplest flower
Doesn’t she know that she won’t last an hour
She flies through the air, she doesn’t take care
She’s a vagabond
She follows her heart right from the start
She’s a renegade
Swoops down to the sea, she longs to be free
She’s a vagabond
And finally she lands right there near the sand
She’s a renegade
She lights down on a daisy
They all say she’s crazy
To place all her hopes on that simplest flower
Doesn’t she know that she won’t last an hour
She gets caught in a shower
And happy, she dies
This rogue butterfly

Over the Ocean
03:41
|
|||
|
Her eyes were the color of Connemara marble
Her spirit high as the cliffs of Moher
The tumbler in her hand held Irish whiskey on the rocks
When she sang, her heart would soar
Over the ocean, over the sea
Straight over to Ireland, where she could be free
Over the ocean, over the sea
Straight over to Ireland, where she could be free
The sun through the rainbow lit the locks around her face
Her lips had been kissed by Sharon’s rose
Her soul bore the burden of many a secret
When she sang the winds of change would blow
Over the ocean, over the sea
Straight over to Ireland, where she could be free
Over the ocean, over the sea
Straight over to Ireland, where she could be free
Her life had been hard like the rocks of the Burren
She was dark as Black Head in the night
She was steeped in myth and legend just like the Giant’s Causeway
Music could cause her to take flight
Over the ocean, over the sea
Straight over to Ireland, where she could be free
Over the ocean, over the sea
Straight over to Ireland, where she could be free
Straight over to Ireland, where she could be free

Gifts From My Mother
03:32
|
|||
|
Boxes of greeting cards, millions of books
Some choice words of wisdom, and a few priceless looks
She’s got a spare Kleenex tucked up in her sleeve
A mint, or a Band-Aid, or whatever you need.
And when I grow up, I hope I will be
The kind of a mother, she’s been for me
She’s shy and she’s quiet, she’s nothin’ like me
No need for spotlights, she’s just happy to be
I love how her smile lights up her face
How she enters a room with beauty and grace
And when I grow up, I hope I will be
The kind of a mother, she’s been for me
She always knows, she’s always there
To offer a shoulder, or to say a few prayers
She gives without taking, she is patient and kind
She loves without limits, she loves for all time
And when I grow up, I hope I will be
The kind of a mother, she’s been for me
And when I grow up, I hope I will be
The kind of a mother, she’s been for me

Old Man Winter
05:09

Old man winter, come around once more
Old man winter, what you done that for?
We’ve been gettin’ on just fine without you
Now I’m shiverin’ and singin’ the blues
Old man winter, knockin’ at my door
Old man winter, don’t you come around here no more
Old man winter, your heart’s as cold as ice
Old man winter, barely alive
Went walkin’ yesterday outside along the bog
The air was balmy, thick with mornin’ fog
I thought just maybe this once you’d stay away
Woke up this mornin’ to a bitter winter’s day
Old man winter, knockin’ at my door
Old man winter, don’t you come around here no more
Old man winter, your heart’s as cold as ice
Old man winter, barely alive
My breath hangs heavy in the frigid air
Frost and icicles formin’ in my hair
Now I’m stuck inside nursin’ these winter blues
No one to blame ‘cept for the likes of you
Old man winter, knockin’ at my door
Old man winter, don’t you come around here no more
Old man winter, your heart’s as cold as ice
Old man winter, barely alive
Old man winter, you left me singin’ the blues
Old man winter, no one to blame but you

Slip Away

Whoa, oh, bless my soul, where does the time go
Hey, hey, what do you say, stay with me today
Whoa, oh, bless my soul, I hope you know I love you so
Hey, hey, what do you say, why don’t we steal away
You should take my hand
Help me to understand
Why you’re always
Running away
Whoa, oh, bless my soul, where does the time go
Hey, hey, what do you say, stay with me today
Whoa, oh, bless my soul, I hope you know I love you so
Hey, hey, what do you say, why don’t we steal away
You should follow me
Trust in what you can’t see
Leave your worries
And your cares behind
Whoa, oh, bless my soul, where does the time go
Hey, hey, what do you say, stay with me today
Whoa, oh, bless my soul, I hope you know I love you so
Hey, hey, what do you say, why don’t we steal away
stay with me today, tag – let’s slip away

Small Things
03:23

Small things with great love
We can do small things, with great love
Tell all the heroes to leave it up to us
We can do small things with great love
Sometimes when I think about the great big mess we’re in
I feel like we’ve already lost before we begin
But then I think about the words that somebody once said
I start to sing this song and it gets stuck in my head
Small things with great love
We can do small things, with great love
Tell all the heroes to leave it up to us
We can do small things with great love
Poverty, hunger, war, disease
So many people in this world live with such great need
With small and mindful acts of love from folks like you and me
That’s when we begin to be the change we wish to see
Small things with great love
We can do small things, with great love
Tell all the heroes to leave it up to us
We can do small things with great love
I am just one person, I cannot do it all
But I need to do something I have heard the call
So join me in this simple task, it might just be enough
If everybody starts to do small things with great love
Small things with great love
We can do small things, with great love
Tell all the heroes to leave it up to us
We can do small things with great love
We can do small things with great love

House of Love
02:48
|
|||
|
This house sits on the bend, built with love so long ago
A family to tend, this house has always been a home
Time, and time again, children grow, the house gets sold
Time is a cruel friend, the fire in the hearth grows cold
But there is music in these walls,
you can hear the siren as she calls
This is a house of love a house of love
Oh yes, there’s music in these walls, the melody it lifts and falls
This is a house of love a house of love
A hundred years go by, the house sits empty on the bend
You can almost hear the cry, of a lonely soul who’s at the end
But new folks chance to buy, now that house is on the mend
Piled up with kids sky high, this is a new and joyful trend
Cause there is music in these walls,
you can hear the siren as she calls
This is a house of love a house of love
Oh yes, there’s music in these walls, the melody it lifts and falls
This is a house of love a house of love
And now we’re sittin’ here, and we’re drinkin’ beer
And we’re singin’ songs, to pass the time
And as we sit and sing our songs about any old thing
We knock back the pints, and life is fine.
Now changed hands again, this is the final incarnation
The house becomes an Inne, a fabulous rejuvenation
This was the house’s fate, there is no other explanation
Where folks can come to play, or sit and listen to the session
Cause there is music in these walls,
you can hear the siren as she calls
This is the house of love a house of love
Oh yes, there’s music in these walls,
the melody it lifts and fa – a – alls
This is the house of love the house of love, the house of love,
This is the house of love, the house of love
