Sitting waiting, waiting for 
 The train to take me on my course 
 So tired, so tired, so tired, cold, I'm getting old 
My lover he pulls me back and fourth 
I’v never loved like that before 
He does not ease my mind We are of different kinds 
I’m a naked daughter 
Naked daughter, just chasing the water 

I love him with all my soul 
But I would let him go 
If he chose 
Oh, if he chose 
But please stay I know I must 
I know I must learn to trust 
I know, 
I must My lover he pulls me back and fourth Iv never loved like that before 
He does not ease my mind 
We are of different kinds I’m a naked daughter 
 Naked daughter, just chasing the water

The writing on the wall says I can't be here no more I’v heard natures call it's time I do what I was bound for But the lights are to bright in my eyes, and I can't see your face Oh here we go, living in the fame Oh the heat it moves through and through It burns my eyes and my body to Oh what do you do when your love is left in vain Oh here we go, living in the fame This morning he said to me my darling where have you been I can't stand the thought of seeing you every other day or two My days grow more lonely with every passing hour Where art thou my sweet wildwood flower I’v seen it in your eyes I know your feelings are still alive But you’v heard it in my cries mine are broken and you don’t seem to mind I want to see emotion in those lips Leave me stung with a kiss Or roll my body down to the riverbed and lift Everything we’v said and done above and sing to me like this I want to see emotion in those lips Leave me stung, leave me with a kiss Oh the heat it moves through and through It burns my eyes and my body to Oh what do you do when your loves left in vain Oh here we go, living in the fame Living in the fame

Send my Love 02:19
His baby face could make me wait One thousand years and a day Inside his heart, there is a spark That burns like the light of day He said I send my love I send my love Love And I never thought anything like this Would send him running away Running away into empty space That burns with a promise to pay But i’m guilty to, I never knew What it was that you went through And I miss you to but all I wanted from you Was “I’m sorry I let you slip away” He said I send my love I send my love Love

It’s snowing outside Falling on the grass Taking my thoughts To far away places To my past To things left unsaid Until my head Collapses on my armrest My head, my heart And it’s taken me a long time To be who I am on the outside And now I have seen a man break down Every time I look into his eyes I drown Oh, in a sadness I cannot explain Our memories move within me Like a death bound train His eyes like a knife They cut through the heart of everything Is this the final key to my undoing My head, My heart Take me back to the start

To be free 04:26
The rains coming down now I can hear it from in here I’m inside by the fire, drying my tears And I cannot look back, but there's some things I can’t help He said open your eyes dear Leave your heart on the shelf I guess thats my problem My heart and its ways I will always be lonely No matter how long I wait He walked to the window Ran his fingers through his hair And said i'll always care Whether I be here or there But it’s strange to me These things that you crave Your hungry for more But you can't get out of your own way Your tired, you want to be inspired Is that why your here, with me? Are you trying to be free? To be free, to be free Oh to be free Like me Now I’v got two paths laid before my feet And I'm talking to ghosts now He’s been dead for weeks Oh, the rains coming down now I can hear it from in here I’m inside by the fire, drying my tears And I cannot look back, but theres somethings I can’t help He said open your eyes dear Leave your heart on the shelf

The mountain side Will open her eyes With the morning dew Like a child so new Constant in its ways In its roots Just like you And I feel called upon to leave this place In which I was born But i'll come rolling back one day It's just that my arms Arn't safe anymore And i'd hate us to hurt Even more than before I don't know why But after a time I feel so empty Like a flower that need tending And I'm so afraid of things ending That i'v stopped being me at all And your so behind it makes you blind To everything that you are I can feel my thirst Blowing like a restless wind I can feel my mind Wandering again I can feel the time Is now closing on in But this old heart Will stay true to the end And I feel called upon to leave this place In which I was born But i'll come rolling back one day It's just that my arms Arn't safe anymore And i'd hate us to hurt Even more than before I can feel my thirst Blowing like a restless wind I can feel my mind Wandering again I can feel the time Is now closing on in But this old heart Will stay true to the end This old heart Will stay true To the end

Burn Bright 03:56
Waiting for the sun to set So I can lay me head to rest And remember the things i’v tried to forget And remember the things i’v tried to forget Oh i’m a shadow of a secret, that ship is sailed But i’m happy being who I am Take my body down when I die Burn it bright baby, baby burn it bright Oh throw me In the ocean Let the breeze carry me on When I was just a babe My mother said I came right away She said I was meant to be hers I know i’v let you down I regret so much, I can hear the sounds Faint voices, singing fair I’m waiting for the sun to set So I can lay me head to rest And remember the things i’v tried to forget And remember the things i’v tried to forget Oh i’m a shadow of a secret that ship is sailed But i’m happy being who I am Take my body down when I die Burn it bright baby, baby burn it bright Oh throw me In the ocean Let the breeze carry me on
