COMMON SENSE
I cannot hear anything outside these ears
for my heart is too loud with its claim
o my heart gets too loud saying you're the real thing
so don't say one word
youthful silliness takes us all away from common sense
o that youthful silliness takes us all away from common sense
but I've done the math and wrote the books to lose it all in that look
When it gets better than this
will I still exist
with my head in the clouds
will I ever come down
everyone should feel this way
and never change o no
thats the way love should go
ENDLESS SIGHS
Too much thinkin
Causes memory loss
can you get down
from such a cross
You say you're free as a bird
but you're tied like a kite
hanging on every word
when you ought to take flight
Darling let's get clever
and reach higher skies
We'll get through all this weather
of endless sighs
Hold me in your arms
and pull me in tight
keep me safe from harm
at least for the night
everything and nothing has changed
has time gone wrong
I'll never be the same
singing this song,
What can you give me for a heart gone cold
tell me tell me truly is it worth its weight gold
THIS MARIONETTE
Tired of when emotions get to your head
they leave you restless and exhausted
the trouble of being a normal girl
in this crazy mixed up earth
Lose everything
and please cut those strings
and let this marionette fall down, o let this marionette fall down
slouch lower in my seat
I'm guilty of feeling
truth you torture me
and dreams please let me be
Lose everything
would you please cut these strings
and let this marionette fall down please let this marionette fall down
can I promise peace and love
will I ever give enough
without him we are corrupt
take these scissors and cut
and let this marionette fall down
LIVE FOR YOU
I'm nothing great
just a bag of bones past an expiration date
but you have bought me with a price
I long to pay back with my life
Father I long to live for you, forevermore
O and I don't deserve
your love o Lord
You know where the bottom of my heart is
O why should I try to resist
what joy has come around
what peace has been found
Father I long to live for you, forevermore
and I don't deserve your love o Lord
You know every dream that I have
take them all with everything that I am
You know every note that I'll sing
take it all Lord take everything
Father I long to live for you forevermore.
DEAR BROTHER I MISS YOU
I wish I could call over the ocean
cause I feel such strong emotion
with war in my heart
Now brother you hold the gun
And how I wish this war was won
long before it started
You've always been my soldier
I'll still be the sister praying for you
You've always been my soldier
I'll still be the one who adores you
Time takes you again, takes you again
I'll be here waiting
My hearts overflowing, overflowing
through all that's changing
I'll see you soon, Yes I'll see you soon
You've always made me laugh outloud
and as your sister I'm so proud
to call you my brother
Your clever thoughts and careful words
O how you taught me my self worth
I'd never ask for another
Distance changes us I know its the truth
I'll embrace it all, overwhelmed I miss you
overwhelmed I miss you
Time takes you again takes you again
I'll be here waiting
my hearts overflowing overflowing
with all thats changing
and I'll see you soon
yes I'll see you soon
OLD LEAF
I had the highest room
and I saw the world in bloom
I grew so strong
and I felt nothing could go wrong
and then I fell
The wind would not hold me
I soared slowly floating
I fell
nothing could control me
no one could know me
I fell
curled up on the ground
all my friends have blown around
look up towards the day
I saw the clouds had rolled away
and then I fell
the wind would not hold me
I soared slowly floating
I fell
nothing could control I soared slowly floating
I fell
