The house is falling down on us
The gears have turned to rust
Days of rain fall on our clothes
The garden wilting rows
I’m sorry for your mismatched clothes
Your hair done without ribbons or bows
Can you hear the screams at night
From in your bed you brave the fight
Tears again on mama’s face
Wrap you in my safe embrace
I’ll love and keep you safe and sound
Just when our house is falling down
Branches falling from our tree
On the grass for all to see
We sweep the floors and wipe them clean
But disarray can still be seen
Love did you hear the shattering sound
From in your bed your tears fell down
Shards of glass still on the floor
Splattered wine dripped down the door
Tears again on mama’s face
Wrap you in my safe embrace
I’ll love and keep you safe and sound
Just when our house is falling down
Tears again on mama’s face
wrap you in my safe embrace
I’ll love and keep you safe and sound
Just when our house is falling down

Baby Blue

I loved the day you came to me
Sun shone brightly through the trees
Sparrows sung a song so true
Suspended in the ocean blue
All the days we had were true
Never alone when I needed you
A hiding place for me to find
With me at my darkest times
I am complete, my baby blue
Take my hand and I’ll float with you
Growing with the hands of time
Tiny bones enveloped in mine
Weathered through the flowing floods
The quiet stranger of my blood
My limbs shook in that fearful hour
Petals of a fragile flower
Trembling till I touched your hand
A calm I couldn’t understand
I am complete, my baby blue
Take my hand and I’ll float with you
Bright curls with soft and milky skin
Time stopped, oceans within
Into sea behind your eyes
You brought the brightest skies
I am complete, my baby blue
I’ll take your hand float with you
I am complete, my baby blue
I’ll take your hand float with you

Belong To You

I want to know you
But you won’t let me in
I’m scratching at your door
Want my body against yours
I’m circling around your legs
You don’t see me at all
I will stay true to you
Be the one you hold onto
And it’s making me crazy
This slow unravelling
Feels like traveling home
Hang me around your neck
I belong now to you
Fetch your paper every day
I’ll do anything you say
And it’s making me crazy
This slow unravelling feels like traveling home
And it’s making me crazy
This slow unravelling feels like traveling home
Slow unravelling…
This slow unravelling..

Nowhere To Go

It was there for you to see
Burning flowers up to my knees
Sitting on the kitchen bench
Waiting for your heart to wrench
Hair blowing on the open road
Oblivious to the this heavy load
Three corners pull my heart to spin
Now look at all this trouble I’m in
Your words slice into my skin
Reality is sinking in
Mamma can’t fix this broken heart
It’s been broken from the start
Maybe I can’t keep running around
All alone on the wrong side of town
Thousands of miles from all I know
Behind the wheel, with nowhere to go
Those words you read, they weren’t mine
I know you’ll hate what you find
Ground shakes below my fearless flight
Don’t know if I’ll come home tonight
You say you’re leaving, is it true
Cast away again and blue
I’ve done enough to disappoint
Leading to This turning point
Maybe I can’t keep running around
All alone on the wrong side of town
Thousands of miles from all I know
Behind the wheel, with nowhere to go
Maybe I can’t keep running around
All alone on the wrong side of town
Thousands of miles from all I know
Behind the wheel, with nowhere to go
