Hello Sun 04:21
Hello Sun So the day didn’t go exactly as planned Said some harmful words to your dearest friend Tho’ your heart is pure, the path you lead is destruction What’s that all about? Chorus: Easier to stay there Than climb up a mountain Easier to lie down Than go to the door Easier to turn away Than put out a fire Woke up one day and realized so much time had past Been spending too long in a box surrounded by broken glass Been living in this storm for too long That’s in my head Chorus: Shaking the 8-ball and asking of the future No matter what it shall no longer involve harmful words from her Been living in this shadow for too long Hello sun….. Bridge Chorus: Put out that fire, go through that door, climb that mountain…. Copyright Tara Watts 2014

Pack My Bags 03:29
Pack my bags Pack my bags I’m on the road Where I’ll stop nobody knows Some place far from misery and pain Some place where the water flows Only the wine and whisky knows my name You held me down for far too long Been singing this pathetic song too long Been living in this damn ol’ town All it does is bring me down, I know Chorus: Gotta get away from the madness and decay of this time Where the roads that I walk and the paths that I take are mine Found a place that’s far from here Skies are blue the air is clear Nearest town a hundred miles my dear No one knows if I exist If I speak its with my fist at best Chorus: Bridge: Move over boy and put your anger in the ground Move over girl and put your memories all down Move over boy and put your hatred in the ground Move over girl worries all down Copyright Tara Watts 2014

Gentle Ol’ Soul Gentle ol’ soul with nowhere to go Ordered a bottle of beer He sat on his stool to warm up his hands No one he knew was there He sat in a place that he thought he’d be safe Then he started using his words He realized to his demise All were distracted by appearances Oh, how the winds blow Here or there no one ever knows Oh, how those winds change Never leaving any of us the same She came for a drink cuz she wanted to think Of the next steps she should take He sat by her side and looked in her eyes Said sorry for what he would say She drove home alone Her lover is gone Wish he had something to say Not a word was to be heard Does she want to live this way   Copyright Tara Watts 2014

Met a Girl 03:15
Met a girl I met a girl from another life She’s now a mother and a wife Life has taken us in different ways Black or white, no room for haze I wear this crown upon my head The burden of it can’t even be said Some time so tight, can’t even think In other moments, crazy? On the brink Chorus: Life comes in many Beauty comes from different places Peace must live within, within Sit on a rock with my guitar My love nearby not going far Take a breath and breathe it in Let moments like this outweigh the grim Chorus: Bridge: New winds blowing through this town A new wind’s blowing through this town New winds blowing through this town Copyright Tara Watts 2014

Barren Trees 05:01
Barren Trees To the barren trees I shout to you To the cloudless skies I want to live in you On these streets I’ve lived But I don’t know you From these tiny windows We have no clue From this cliff edge all I can see The trees and rivers my company How vast the earth compared to me The scent of the pine in the air, comfort to me Still this aching heart, still this aching heart With your mighty wings, Just soar right through Into the arms that can embrace you May the warmth of the sun Carry me through As creation speaks I will think of you Chorus: Still this aching heart Still this aching and quiet this shaking Still this aching heart Copyright Tara Watts 2014

Jude's Song 02:59
Jude’s Song There’s a girl that I know For three years or so And she just hit a wall Every way she faces Looks like grey days But she keeps moving on This girl that I know Her heart is like gold And her eyes the same This life she knew It just changed out of the blue But she must keep strong For those she brings along Chorus: Things they must get better someday I pray that day is soon for you In moments when you just can’t breathe Let others breathe for you There’s a boy that I know He’s at least 10ft or so And his heart’s on fire Every way he turns He just watches things burn But he keeps pressing on For his love that sings along Copyright Tara Watts 2014

The Lakeside 03:59
The Lakeside I miss my brother And I love his lover I can’t believe how time flies by I miss the lakeside Always hurting your eyes Everything was bright and new Don’t know my family Though I know they love me And think of me, as do I I love my lover More than any other Though I’m not so good at showing why Chorus: Give it all up for one more day with you Give it all up for a clearer view Give it all up for one more moment To say beautiful things about you I hate my choices Been too many voices To clearly choose right paths to take But here I am now Not alone somehow It’s not too late to do things right Copyright Tara Watts 2014

Sweet Grass County Oooooh, Sweet Grass County Jail Where my boyfriend had to pay my bail Had a fight in Kansas City I can tell you it wasn’t pretty Maybe, it was a little loud I had a point and so did he Just wanted to make the other see The correct point of view So louder and louder and louder it took The hour of night, didn’t even look But around 3, there was a knock My partner in crime went to the door I went to the john Not knowing what’s about to happen Upon return there were two cops Their faces stern, guns were cocked Said, ‘ma’am what have you done?’ I followed their eyes to the floor I couldn’t say one word more For on that floor there was a gun Was small and black and looking mean It was the silliest thing I’d ever seen For that mean ol’ thing it was my lighter They grabbed my left arm and my right I didn’t put up much of a fight Knowing full well where I’d spend the night Chorus: Was put in stripes and paper shoes Took my picture, then I got the news That I’d be in a cell with 12 angry gals Put me inside and locked the door I gazed to the dirty floor Doing my best not to be seen I got one question then the next They heard my story and were perplexed Said in here you’re one of us Copyright Tara Watts 2014

S.O.S. 03:56
S.O.S. S.O.S. Please help me I’m hiding in the shadows Trying not to be seen Trying even harder not to scream Vulture, vulture Craving your next meal Your beady little eyes Searching to and fro Trying to find your next meal Y.E.S. You’ve most definitely been seen You better run while you’re able Fight ‘cuz you can Even if they don’t understand Chorus: Oh, don’t be afraid of ghosts Or of what you may see or feel Oh, don’t be afraid of ghosts Or of what you may see or feel Spotlight, spotlight Exposing everything that needs to be seen Shallow are your ways Unhappy you live your days How do you even show your face Copyright Tara Watts 2014

Pale blue moon Go to sleep pale blue moon The morning sun will be here soon The coyotes singing underneath you Their sorrowful tune Singing for you…. Cold fall air blowing without a care The changing leaves dancing in your breeze The silent deer graze peacefully I hold my breath don’t want them to see me…don’t want them to see me. Chorus: So close your eyes and come in close Hold the one that you love the most Close your eyes and come in close And hold the one that you love the most…love the most The gentle rains fall all around me As I walk amongst the birds and the trees The distant hum of destruction Reminds me we are not yet free…we are not yet free Chorus: What do you love the most What do you love the most Copyright Tara Watts 2014
