Fold My Hand 03:41
Baby I forgive you, though I’ll never forget You told them everything I did I know you believe me that it was self defense And running isn’t any way to live I’m doing, I’m doing all that I can To fold my hand I looked in that man’s eyes and saw my daddy’s sins That made me walk the street since I was 10 That trigger popped like a balloon to a pin No one will ever hurt me again I’m doing, I’m doing all that I can To fold my hand I told my lawyer I don’t want no more appeals I said I did it in cold blood okay, I lied Living is torture when your fates already sealed I’ve had enough please let the walking dead die Baby I still love you though you won’t see my tears I’d have taken care of you hell or high I hope you find what you’re looking for out there I’ll see you on the other side, for now my love goodbye I’m doing, I’m doing all that I can To fold my hand

Loud Talker 03:28
I’m a loud talker If you don’t like it then you better walk away Raising the volume with every beer Everybody knows I’m here Making sure you know I’m here I’m no street walker Just cause I’m rubbing up against this pole My tight dress is for me alone But don’t you want to take me home I know you want to take me home What are ya some kind of stalker Lookin’ at me that way But if this round is on ya Maybe I’ll give you the time of day Maybe I’ll give you the time of day Look at me don’t look at me Look at me don’t look at me Look at me don’t look at me Look at me don’t look at me Hold me Hold me Don’t let me be lonely I’m so lonely Ge off of me I’m a loud talker And everybody knows I’m here Everybody knows I’m here Making sure you know I’m here

Choir 04:59
When Dylan Sang his words into the wind It rumbled like a universal hymn Changing the world was the latest thing All the kids jumped and screamed for the one they admired But no one was listening No one was listening No one was listening but the choir Now the silver spoons and the charmed ones The talking heads and the armed ones Say they know what should be done for the harmed ones And push it on down through the wire But no one is listening No one is listening No one is listening but the choir People shouting all around A preacher for every town I hope that choir comes around Jesus said to love one another And some other good stuff like that But that doesn’t serve to make any bellies fat So they focus on that ol’ lake of fire Cause no one was listening No one was listening No one was listening but the choir

Home 05:31
Shed your skin, goodbye to all things known Life is about to begin, boy you’ve grown Make mistakes, place some losing bets Your heart will break, but never have regrets Devils get their wings some angels fall The rest of us roam You can lie in your own bed within these walls But you can’t go home My good friend, full of time and charm Started at the end, a needle in his arm He arose, a clear and brilliant mind Until his ghosts caught him from behind Devils get their wings some angels fall The rest of us roam You can lie in your own bed within these walls But you can’t go home Boy is back in town, welcome home signs in his name His old friends are still around, but they don’t look the same Take your time, do the things you love Cause even when it’s on your side, it’s never enough Devils get their wings some angels fall The rest of us roam You can lie in your own bed within these walls But you can’t go home

Ground is white, sky is black Nothing but ice on the subway track Straight n’ narrow path got a big ol’ crack The ones who bought the halos want their money back I’m all right if you're all right I’m all right if you’re all right I’m all right if you’re all right It’s so dark I can see the light Fridge is empty, cash is gone There’s a beggar in a high rise with a three piece on Everybody’s sayin it won’t be long Santa’s in drag and he’s singin’ a song I’m all right if you’re all right… Interest like a rocket, no money down Here’s the last bill in my pocket, let me buy a round One big boat in the muddy ground Nobody sleeps alone at rock bottom now I’m all right if you’re all right…

There’s no captain here to turn this ship around Not a swimmer in sight, not a life vest to be found There’s a place on the boat where we all go to drown For a warm hand to hold when this thing goes down Have another round with me Have another round with me Please don’t leave me alone at sea Have another round with me Let me take you to the darkest rooms Where sun don’t shine, just the soft light of the moon Enough poison and the night can be a womb That births you in the morning and orphans you by noon Have another round with me Have another round with me Please don’t leave me alone at sea Have another round with me The ceiling leaks but we hear no thunder No one speaks of the ship that’s going under We all got each other and yet no one at all Glasses rise just as the bottom falls Have another round with me Have another round with me Please don’t leave me alone at sea Have another round with me

Drive 04:24
Kick back Have another glass No need to be sorry for what’s past Put your weight on me We’ll get by some how But we don’t have to talk about that now When it clears let’s maybe go for a ride Drink up baby You don’t have to drive Baby don’t look now, the sky is coming down out there I’ll pull you off the ground and carry you anywhere Do what you gotta do to feel all right Drink up baby You don’t have to drive Baby don’t look now, the sky is coming down out there I’ll pull you off the ground and carry you anywhere Show me what hurts and make it mine Drink up baby You don’t have to drive Drink up baby You don’t have to drive

When days are short And nights are long And nothing ever grows The fall is over The concrete’s colder Up is the only way to go You rise from the rubble In your box of troubles There is always a glimmer of gold Like a half-smile on a child Who has learned too much too soon She grew up fast But the worst is past And every tear is a tune She rose from the rubble In her box of troubles There is always a glimmer of gold There may not be a bright light But there’s a candle Lit just enough to help you find the door When the world hands you More than you can handle You take on just a little more Rise from the rubble In your box of troubles There is always a glimmer of gold

Good Times 01:51
Coffee for lunch Beer at moonlight We slept through the sun What happened last night We got good times first through December We got good times that we can’t remember There were songs in the street We were having a ball You said something sweet That I can’t recall We got good times first through December We got good times that we can’t remember Bottles by the bed Bottles by the ton I don’t know what we did But it must’ve been fun We got good times first through December We got good times that we can’t remember

about

A journey through the blend of darkness and light that life has to offer - barebones folk-blues recording that highlights strong finger-pickin, sweet whiskey vocals and stomping left boot. , with a little help from her friends on such instruments as upright bass, viola and a little bit of sax.
