When You Take My Hand 04:10
lyrics

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.

Dagger Rose 03:14

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

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

My Recurring Dream 03:15
lyrics
buy track
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

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…

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

Softbound 04:48
lyrics
buy track
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

Mama Look At The Trees 04:44

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

Sebastian 04:47
lyrics

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

Cherub Station 05:20
lyrics

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

Mercy 03:43
lyrics

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

Esta noche en mis sueños Mi cama es el paraiso El reino divino Donde todo es libre Soy madre Soy padre Soy amante Soy dador Y con mi poder Soy líder Soy creyente Soy maestro Soy estudiante Todavía con tanto que aprender Y con amor y con esperanza Estas cosas que sé que puedo ser Y con el amor y con esperanza Estas cosas que sé que puedo ser Tonight in my dreams My bed is heaven The divine kingdom Where all is free I am mother I am father I am lover I am giver And so with my power I am leader I am believer I am teacher I am student With still so much to learn And with love and with hope These things I know that I can be And with love and with hope These things I know that I can be
