Track Name: When You Take My Hand
When you take my hand
©reneemaurice2009

V.1
Crying, crying gets you nowhere
Dry each useless teardrop
Try to make my eyes stop
Staring at myself
Heavy sighing in the darkness
Remind me I’ll get through this
Tears that are so useless
Dry them with your palm

Ch.
So let the tears subside
When you touch my face
Forgetting why I cried
Here in your embrace
You know who I am
And you understand
I become unbroken
When you take my hand
Ah…

V.2
Laughing at the situation
Find it quite amusing
Life is so confusing
Make it simple
Sunlight creeping through the window
Gives your face a warm glow
Look at you and I know
Everything’s alright

Ch.
Track Name: Dagger Rose
Dagger-Rose

Dagger-Rose
Cotton blows
Away and in to dark
Where the bark
Dirties the cotton
And the rain
Cleans the rose again
They complete an equal feat
But with separate gains
They meet

Dagger-Rose
Heaven knows
Where you’ll lead me next
Let me guess
Somewhere exciting
Under the stars
Somewhere so far
Though we’re apart
You’ll come to my heart
When we meet back at the start

The start of time
We’ll travel there
And change the rules
We’ll dream to dare
Defeat the times
Unleash the light
Lovely rose
I swear you’ll be alright


Dagger-Rose
It just shows
That life is all pretend
We know the truth
The reason for living
Friendship and love
Whoever you are
Come with me
Let them see
A pair of lovers
Changing the world
Changing the world
Changing the world
Track Name: Nama's Song
Sometimes I think
I see your shadow in the corner of the room
But then you’re gone again
Too fast, too soon
Sometimes I swear
I feel your lips against my hair
Where they used to fall
When I was scared
Sometimes I know
Your hands are resting on my back
Pushing me forward into life

I’m sorry it took this long to get through
To remember who you were
And how much I loved you
I’m sure you’d see
You’d agree
There was no way that I could have survived
Knowing how lucky I was when you were alive

Sometimes at night
The sound of my voice can be heard
You’re still in every note
You’re still in every word
Sometimes it’s only right to say
That you are in my heart and in my soul
When I am torn apart
It’s you that makes me whole

I’m sorry it took this long to get through
To remember who you were
And how much I loved you
I’m sure you’d see
You’d agree
There was no way that I could have survived
Knowing how lucky I was when you were alive

It took six years and a change of pace
To finally remember the look on your face
When you sang to me
You’d sing “baby my little girl,
You’ve got the chance to change the world”

And I remember thinking
That you’d be there to change it with me
But I’ve had time to pause
And time to think
‘Cos back then
I didn’t even have time to blink
Before you were gone

I’m sorry it took this long to get through
To remember who you were
And how much I loved you
But now I see
I decree
You are the reason I survived
And now I see
That in me
You are alive
Track Name: My Recurring Dream
Am I left dreaming
After tonight?
Stars that weren’t bright now gleam
Something’s occurring
My heart is stirring
From this recurring dream

Am I left dreaming
After tonight?
Glory, how right it seems
He is the trigger
The fragment and figure
Of my recurring dreams

Call out the sandman
And let him be freed
Since this man
Came into my life
I’ve all the ideas for dreams
I need

I will surrender
When he calls my name
I can’t resist
Each wonderful kiss
That burns like a flame

Am I left dreaming
After tonight?
He is the light that beams
The heat of the fire
The love and desire
Fill my recurring dreams
Dreams
Track Name: Hey Stephan Middleton
Hey Stephan Middleton
You know you got me in a spin
I’m wandering ‘round in circles all the time
Trying to catch a wink of sleep
But babe, you got me in it deep
I can’t stop wishing you were mine

Hey Stephan Middleton
I just don’t know where to begin
Or how to tell you all the things I feel
Tracing with a loving hand
Your name in circles in the sand
Oh Stephan boy, you know my love is real

Knock me over with your dazzling smile
I’ll pretend I’m hurt
So you can nurse me for a while
Hey, look me over
I won’t let you down
All I’m asking babe
Is that you always stay around

Hey Stephan Middleton
I know that this is not a fling
I know I’m not the only girl
Who’s offered you all the world
But won’t you look me over anyway

Knock me over with your dazzling smile
I’ll pretend I’m hurt
So you can nurse me for a while
Hey, look me over
I won’t let you down
All I’m asking babe
Is that you always stay around

Hey Stephan Middleton
You know that love is not a sin
So why can’t you love me right now
I know you got a thousand girls
With bright blue eyes and golden curls
But won’t you look me over anyhow?
Won’t you look me over anyhow

Ooh Stephan Middleton
Ooh Stephan, Stephan
Mm Mr. Middleton…
Track Name: I'm Addicted To You
I’m addicted to you
You got me hooked on your smile
One look at your face
And ooh, I need to rest for a while
You got me crazy in love
There’s no mistake about his
I’m so addicted to you
Ever since we kissed

I’m addicted to you
There’s no point trying to lie
My feeling’s so strong
My heart won’t let me deny
You’ve been invading my dreams
You feel my daydreams with bliss
I’m so addicted to you ever since we kissed

I’m addicted to you
I gotta speak my mind
I’m telling the truth
Baby you’re one of a kind
You got me head over heels
And in case this point I missed
I’m so addicted to you
Ever since we kissed
I am addicted to you
Ever since we kissed
Track Name: Softbound
Here I am
Sitting on this cold and lonely shelf
And I know
I will always be here by myself
Don’t tear
No need to spare a little emotion
For my sake
Though I might break
In the hands of any child
My contents as full, alluring and wild
As any other one like me
But I remain free
Always vacant, never taken

I’m softbound
Easily found on aisle three
I rest in between letters B and C
My looks may not come off
all that impressively
I don’t have leather
I don’t have card
I don’t have buttons that make a fetching sound
I’m unattractive, uninspiring, unimportant
Plain old softbound

Not again!
Once again I have been replaced
A disgrace is what I am
To authors and their work
Folk lurk dolefully around the corner
Searching for the October release
They always cease to pass a glance my way
And it doesn’t seem to matter
That my twin is on request
While I am second best
Gathering the dust
In lust with particles of dirt
My day will never come
My life will always be humdrum
It seems I’m useless
I’m not useless

I’m softbound
Easily found on aisle three
I rest in between letters B and C
My looks may not come off
All that impressively
I don’t have leather
I don’t have card
I don’t have buttons that make a fetching sound
I’m unattractive, uninspiring, unimportant
Plain old softbound

A coffee stain
Breaks all terrain
Defies all reason
The tears my words induce
And orange juice
I’m the one that reprimand
“It might as well be second hand”
I’m not second hand
I’m softbound

I’m softbound
Easily found on aisle three
I rest in between letters B and C
My looks may not come off
All that impressively
I don’t have leather
I don’t have card
I don’t have buttons
They don’t make a fetching sound
I’m unattractive, uninspiring, unimportant
Plain old soft…
I’m softbound
Track Name: Mama Look At The Trees
Mama look, didn’t you see it?
Mama watch, I’m certain it will pass again
Mama quick, there it goes
The pretty little sparrow
Flying over the roses

Mama look at the trees
Mama don’t they intrigue you?
Is it solely my eyes,
That these flora delight?
Mama why won’t you look at the trees with me?

Mama wait, where are we going?
Mama stop, my small legs
Can’t keep up with theirs
Mama please, I don’t like this
It’s too dark and cold
And I can’t see the roses

Mama look at the trees
Mama don’t they intrigue you?
Is it solely my eyes,
That these flora delight?
Mama why won’t you look at the trees with me?

Mama hush, why are you crying?
Mama lush, lush are the trees and the flow’rs
Mama please, please look at the trees
Look out the window
Mama, please don’t go

Mama please
(Heavy eyes, heavy eyes)
Mama please
(Heavy eyes, heavy eyes)
Mama please
(Heavy eyes, heavy chest)
Mama please
(Mama I need to rest now)

Mama look at the trees
Mama don’t they intrigue you?
Now we’re above looking down
We’ve the best view in town
Mama now you can look,
At the trees with me
Track Name: Sebastian
A memory still haunts me by day
The dream of it plagues me by night
The image of one smiling face
The thought of one beautiful life
The sensation that when I awake
It’s you I’ll be laying beside
The hope that somehow, someway
This wrong will turn out alright

Sebastian, my angel
That’s watching from heaven
The guardian that’s guiding my life
I feel you, your heartbeat
It’s beating with mine
Your lover, your comrade, your wife

True heroes are few in this world
I’ve met only one in my time
A prayer of mine he once heard
And he came and made himself mine
And he saved me from the doubts of this earth
And he made me feel like one special girl
And forever he filled me with pride
Picked me up where I fell at his side

Sebastian, my angel
That’s watching from heaven
The guardian that’s guiding my life
I feel you, your heartbeat
It’s beating with mine
Your lover, your comrade, your wife

And I know when I’m walking home in the rain
The water that falls
Is you, crying for me
And I know that the rise of a bright yellow moon
Is the wonderful gift
Of you smiling at me
And I know that the wind that rustles the trees
Is a gentle sign
That you’re whispering to me
And I know when the sun shines down on my face
I know you’re in a better place
Although you’re missing me
I can feel you kissing me

Oh Sebastian, my angel
That’s watching from heaven
I love you with all that I am
I promise that not one day will pass by
That I don't miss you
My inspiration
Sebastian
Track Name: Cherub Station
A father knows
What it means to lose control
A baby only knows
Of dark and pain
An angel knows
All the scars on the soul
And that sunlight
Shines brighter through the rain
A kingdom, ruled by little boys and girls
A shadow that’s not brighter than their eyes
A journey through a valley
More dangerous than this world
They’ll lead the way,
They know it, they are wise

Cherub Station
Tiny wings, blue eyes, soft golden hair
We’re a cherub nation
In search of heaven
Well I thought that we were there

Listening carefully
To little choir voices harmonize
We’re listening toward the wrong direction
These voices are descending from the skies
The womb of god, so promising
So delicate and new
Provides what it promises
They didn’t say
There comes no pain with truth

Cherub Station
Tiny wings, blue eyes, soft golden hair
We’re a cherub nation
In search of heaven
Well I thought that we were there

No need to speak for those passed
They knew so much more than we can say
Believe me, they will not be the last
They didn’t get the chance to learn how anyway

Cherub Station
Tiny wings, blue eyes, soft golden hair
We’re a cherub nation
In search of heaven
Well I thought that we were there
Track Name: Mercy
Sometime, someday
We will find a better way
Than crossing lines
And leaving love to lay
Somewhere, someplace
Minds will think
And hearts will race
And we’ll be blessed
By someone’s simple grace

Trouble seethes
And anger grows
With all our friends
Becoming foes
Each mortal sins
And still he shows us mercy

Sometime, someday
We’ll learn to speak and then we’ll say
Carpe Diem, we have a part to play
Somewhere, someplace
Finding faith, we’ll end the chase
Smiling bright, the child’s treasured face

Each grievance forgot
Each grudge forgiven
Each mind made up
That life’s for living
We know our luck
For we’ve been given mercy
Mercy
Mercy
