Burning Love 05:00
lyrics
buy track
Baby those blue eyes, they call to me You’ve been rolling around in my mind all day Lust and desire, temptation and longing I want you so badly, but I’ll just walk away You’re such a sweet mystery I dream of that smooth skin kissed by the sun We’re just dancing around innuendos I’m dying to lean in but instead I should run It’s no fair, it's no fun I know I can’t have you But just for just one night I’ve got to have you So we can ignite this… Burning love Burning love Burning love You’re so close, I can feel you I ache each time you push back that hair You’re looking at me like you want trouble Baby, we can’t break up these pairs It’s no fair, it's no fun I know I can’t have you But just for just one night I’ve got to have you So we can ignite this… Burning love Burning love Burning love It’s no fair, it's no fun I know I can’t have you But just for just one night I’ve got to have you So we can ignite this… Burning love Sun is setting now, Pull the curtains down, I am ready for this

Settling In The Bathtub 03:08
lyrics
buy track
We lie in a dust of snow Allow the ground to make our mold Look to the sky rise I feel your weight Can’t speak for you, can’t talk to you Sail a light out on out to you Try to tempt a harsh word You sit still Fire engine red birth Rest your breath upon my hearth Weave a fire in my dance Think I broke your driving trance Total torture, tarot told We all try hard not to join the flow of life These lives pass fast Think I broke your driving trance Car door, road sign Two way, white line I wonder where your mind is today Car door, road sign Two way, white line I wonder where your mind is today Total torture tarot told We all try hard not to join the flow of life These lives pass fast Think I broke your driving trance Car door, road sign Two way, white line I wonder where your mind is today…

Like A Champ 04:57
lyrics
buy track
It doesn’t matter when The lights are paper thin Through the blinds of my room Or there’s a quiet roar From the neighbor’s door I don’t hear it when I sleep The bed is my womb A soft and forgiving tomb Where I lay my head The night cleanses me Like a lover’s purity I’ll sleep like a champ tonight I’ll sleep like a champ tonight With the day off my mind The night cleanses me Like a lover’s purity I’ll sleep like a champ tonight The days are too long More time for things to go wrong I retreat back home There are problems still With no resolution near But I don’t see them when I sleep The bed is my home A cradle for my weary bones Where I rest my heart The night cleanses me Like a lover’s purity I’ll sleep like a champ tonight I’ll sleep like a champ tonight With the day off my mind The night cleanses me Like a lover’s purity I’ll sleep like a champ tonight

Hot Headed Lovers 02:01
lyrics
buy track
Maybe we’re over, the fighting won’t end The same arguments play over again We’re hot headed lovers, stubborn with pride Pinned into corners with no place to hide I’m so tired, I don’t want a new home I just want to rest in your warm tender hold You’re still the boy who stole my heart Back in the day, back at the start I don’t want a new story to tell I just want to repeat the one where I fell In love with you My heart’s always had on a bullet proof vest And my mind always thinks that it knows what’s best I know I look like I’m ready to fight But baby, I love you, just hold me tight I tell you we can never go home You say it’s a place that follows our roam And you’ll be right there wherever I go Let’s stay together, let’s grow old I don’t want a new story to tell I just want to repeat the one where I fell In love with you I don’t want a new story to tell I just want to repeat the one where I fell In love with you

I Like The Fact 02:40
lyrics

I like the fact that when you walk You don’t swing your thing, you don’t cock a gawk I like the fact that when you move You don’t try to dance, you just shake it down loose I like the fact that when you speak You tell me the truth with a little wink I like the fact that when you lie I can see the truth by the glint in your eye I like the fact, I like the fact, I like I like the fact, I like the fact, I like I like the fact, I like the fact, I like I like the fact, I like the fact, I like I like the fact that when you sleep You snore up a storm, you tangle the sheets I like the fact that when you wake You’re ready to move, you’re ready to shake I like the fact that when we fight It lasts through the day and into the night I like the fact when we make-up We do it all night until the sun comes up I like the fact, I like the fact, I like I like the fact, I like the fact, I like I like the fact, I like the fact, I like I like the fact, I like the fact, I like

Que Sera, Sera 04:17
lyrics
buy track
When I was just a little girl I asked my mother, “what will I be? Will I be pretty Will I be rich?” Here’s what she said to me… Que Sera, Sera What will be, will be When I grew up and fell in love I asked my sweetheart, “What lies ahead? Will there be rainbows day after day?” Here’s what my sweetheart said… Que Sera, Sera Whatever will be, will be The future’s not ours to see Que Sera, Sera Now I have children of my own They ask their mother, “what will I be? Will I be pretty, will I be rich?” I tell them tenderly… Que Sera, Sera Whatever will be, will be The future’s not ours to see Que Sera, Sera

When I Go 03:04
lyrics
buy track
I hope there’s a good song on when I die Something with a melody that I can softly sigh A minuet, a rhapsody, or a sweet lullaby I hope there’s a good song on when I die I hope there’s a good song on when I pass Through the gates of heaven with a big brass band Trumpets, horns, and tubas, I’ll go out with a blast I hope there’s a good song on when I pass When my friend the reaper in the evening comes to take me home I’ll walk beside him and sing all the songs I got to know That I had learned while on this earth and he is sure to grin My friend the reaper will harmonize while I sing I hope there’s a good song on when I go A tune that makes me want to dance the rumba or tango Grab my hand, let’s do a dance before I start to slow I hope there’s a good song on when I go When my friend the reaper in the evening comes to take me home I’ll walk beside him and sing all the songs I got to know That I had learned while on this earth and he is sure to grin My friend the reaper will harmonize while I sing I hope there’s a good song on when I go Let’s finish off this inning and head off to The Show Organ gospel, fireworks, let’s fly DiMaggio! I hope there’s a good song on when I go

Don't Walk Away 04:12
lyrics
buy track
Don’t walk away Before you go there’s something you should know I’m tangled up in you and it’s hard to let go If ever you see me waiting too long Please understand, don’t hurry me along Don’t walk away Your eyes like the ocean, your smile like the breeze Has rendered me useless, you have invaded me. Your laugh like the rain, your gaze captures me I’m held in the crosswinds and I’ve fallen to my knees Don’t walk away
