Don't Let Me Go

When the evening comes and the day is done
And I’m wishing we were home
The lights go out and the songs are sung
And I’m weary to my bones
You catch my eye across the empty stage
You gently take my hand
You always seem to know just what to say
You’re always seem to understand
Please don’t let me go
You’re everything that I didn’t know I needed
You are home
Don’t ever let me go
Seems like this world gets crazier everyday
Sometimes it feels so dark
You’re a beacon you light my way
And I wanna be where you are
Cause when the night falls and it’s time for sleep
But worry is so near
You close the door and you reach for me
The whole world disappears

Fault Line

It’s complicated
This being yours while being mine
Years spent placating
Pretending everything is fine
And they say that blood is thicker than water
Tell me what does that mean for a mother and daughter
Living on a fault line
Living on a fault line
It’s not about blame
We both have our share of scars
I pray that one day
I can love you as you are
And they say that blood is thicker than water
Tell me what does that mean for a mother and daughter
Living on a fault line
Living on a fault line
I’ve come to recognize, there’s so much of you in me
All the beauty, all the mess, I’m still learning to receive
Still yearning to make peace
Still burning to believe that you love me as I am.
It’s almost my chance
I feel the earth within me quaking
This motherhood dance
What am I worth? How will she blame me?
And they say that blood is thicker than water
Tell me what does that mean to a mother of a daughter
Living on a fault line
Living on a fault line

Kindness

We hear the people crying
We hear the people crying
Hard times can be so trying
It’s time for reconciling
We hear the people crying
Kindness
Oh, oh
Kindness
Oh, oh
Why can’t we all just try it
Let’s change the conversation
Let’s change the conversation
Love is an invitation
We’re all one human race and
Let’s change the conversation

Plinky Child's Piano

When I was a little
girl my grandma had a
plinky child’s piano
and I used to play it
She kept in the basement
where they once held dances
when my dad was just a
boy he kept his Lionel automatic train set there
My, oh my! How time passes by.
They don’t make them like that anymore.
She lived in an old house
with an elevator
a cedar closet made just
for tablecloths and china
Dad was taught to say yes
ma’am please and no thank you
Gentlemen would rise when
ladies joined the table
Grandma taught me how to
curtsy and to bow she
took me to the ice cream
social in the summer time
Azaleas in her garden
hatpins on her dresser
My how I do miss her
She always had a bow that matched her dress tied in her hair.
When I was a little girl my grandma had a plinky child’s piano.
