Amy Robbins - Willow

There's a willow by the water on Little Lake Harris
She barely touches that water, shiny as glass
She lightly drags her spanish moss fingertips on the surface
Does she... does she want more?
She's stuck to grow old, alone, poor lonely willow
She's stuck to grow old, alone, poor lonely willow
Does she see a world deep beneath the water?
But she's too deeply rooted although that world just calls to her
Does she reach up for the sun and long to be close?
But she just..... she can't seem to let go
She's stuck to grow old, alone, poor lonely willow
She's stuck to grow old, alone, poor lonely willow
Does she see her reflection, looking down in the water?
She's full of beauty and grace and she changes colors in the autumn
She loves the birds and the bees and the squirrels just love to talk
What if she is.... she's not alone at all!
She's stuck to grow old, alone, poor lonely willow
She's stuck to grow old, alone, poor lonely willow
She's stuck to grow old, alone, poor lonely.... willow

When I was a younger girl ,I didn't believe them
Thought the world was at our fingertips, yea I thought that we would beat it
Oh you took me to outer space and ya showed me your inner rings
You promised the galaxy and I thought I'd be your everything
But you stayed so sad, though the weight of the world was a feather on our backs
And time after time, you'd say this worrisome world has been weighing on your mind
And you'd never see the worries that are mine
If I was a smarter girl, maybe I'd leave here
I'd go off and study medicine, find a cure for fatal diseases
I'd move to the ocean side, and I'd stay like the changing tides
No promises left to keep, still don't like to admit defeat
But you stayed so sad, though the weight of the world was a feather on our backs
And time after time, you'd say this worrisome world has been weighing on your mind
And you'd never see the worries that are mine
Now I'm an older girl and I should've believed them
I'm at the world's cold, cruel fingertips but I think that I can beat it
If I take you to outer space and I show you my inner rings, I promise the galaxy and I swear to be your everything
But you stayed so sad, though the weight of the world was a feather on our backs
And time after time, you'd say this worrisome world has been weighing on your mind
And you'd never see the worries that are mine
They're all mine, you see this worrisome world has been weighing on my mind, they're all mine.... they're all mine....
And you'd never see the worries, they're all mine

I never get too far before I go back home
I never pray too hard, I don't know what I'm praying for
I caused so many sparks made fire on my own
I caused some bleeding hearts, so many nights...
So many nights before
The way we live and breathe, the leaves shake on the trees
Try hard at everything but my heart is not in anything
Just hangs inside my chest by threads of memories
Placating all the rest like many nights
So Many nights before
And when you say it's over, that's when I know for sure
And when you say you love her, that's when I'll know
They say the worst of sin is to slip into despair
It tried to pull me in, but I was already there
I saw your smiling face, deep in the devil's lair
All guilt and hate misplaced so many nights...
So many nights before
And when you say it's over, that's when I'll know for sure
And when you say you love her, that's when I'll know
I never get too far before I go back home
I never pray too hard, I don't know what I'm praying for
I caused so many sparks, made fire on my own
I caused some bleeding hearts, so many nights
So many nights before
So many nights before

You said you never loved me, you just can't get rid of me, baby
You probably never will
You said this life is scary, call it best if we get married, baby
The earth stood still
You thought you knew me better, and that's why your hearts so shattered,baby, I thought I knew me too
You said you'd always need me, but you just don't believe me, baby
and you probably never will
ooohhh ooohhhh wooahh you probably never will oooh oooh wooaahhh oooh you probably never will
I was your light in darkness, I wish that I could stop this, baby
I can't make this go away
You said you'd always love me and that you'd be part of me, even if I chose not to stay
You said you'd always love me, and that you'd be part of me, baby..
You said you'd always love me, just not this version of me, baby...
And you probably never will...
ooohhh ooohhhh wooahh you probably never will oooh oooh wooaahhh oooh you probably never will
You said you never loved me, you just can't get rid of me, baby
You probably never will
You said this life is scary, call it best if we get married, baby
The earth stood still
You thought you knew me better, and that's why your hearts so shattered,baby, I thought I knew me too
You said you'd always need me, but you just don't believe me, baby
and you probably never will
ooohhh ooohhhh wooahh you probably never will oooh oooh wooaahhh oooh you probably never will

It gets so easy to lose track, of things that matter
Like the sweet and simple fact that you, oh you're mine forever
So much time slips through the cracks, while we search for better
Choosing to fill in what lacks, with mindless chatter
Blah blah blah blah blah blah... that mindless chatter
Talk talk talk talk talk talk... like it doesn't matter
You come home to find me, with a pen and paper crying
Just kiss me to remind me, my heart beats for a reason
Not everyone can find a spark so they go for sadness
No smile no song in their hearts, must feel so endless
Wish you could go back from the start, find new intentions
Try not to take it so hard, we all begin with
Blah blah blah blah blah blah... that mindless chatter
Talk talk talk talk talk talk... like it doesn't matter
You come home to find me, with a pen and paper crying
Just kiss me to remind me, my heart beats for a reason
The world can wrap you up in it's arms of high demands
Making you forget who you are, and where you stand
Noah didn't build the arc, to stay on land
and I've been trying so damn hard, to understand that
Blah blah blah blah blah blah... I don't understand
Talk talk talk talk talk talk... I don't understand
You come home to find me, with a pen and paper crying
Just kiss me to remind me, my heart beats for a reason
What you have is more than charm, its a super power
I'm so proud to be on your arm, stop and smell the flowers
Jealousy won't cause us harm, coming from cowards
They're burning out like falling stars, in a meteor shower , they
Fall fall fall fall fall fall... they fall and shatter
Fall fall fall fall fall fall... then they're gone forever, they just
talk talk talk talk talk ... like it' doesn't matter.. that
blah blah blah blah blah... oh that mindless chatter...
You come home to find me, with a pen and paper crying
Just kiss me to remind me, my heart beats for a reason

Clocks Won't Sleep
04:05

The nape of the neck is a lover's nook
Oh it's a place so sweet
An uncanny smell lingers on your shirt
Oh it's cotton candy and its vague like dreams, cotton candy and it's vague like dreams.. so long.. how long
I'm flushed, my ears burn inside
Like taking shots of gin, blaze straight down to my feet
My fears have been realized, Oh I close my eyes so my heart can see
I close my eyes and let my heart see
So long, how long... have I laid peacefully sleeping in these filthy sheets
Too long, so long... and if I grant forgiveness history repeats, and this deja vu , it's like the clocks won't sleep ... so long... how long...
I pull my door, pull my windows shut, to the shock of the whispering leaves
As I reach for my pills I think of vows we took, and the indented skin where my ring should be
I have to end this now or suffer constantly
So long... How long...
I'm crushed, the salt renders me blind
The lack of oxygen brings me straight down to my knees
Find comfort in the bathroom tile
Though my agony is a stormy night's sea, I plead forget me not, but let me rest in peace
So long, how long... have I laid peacefully sleeping in these filthy sheets
Too long, so long... and if I grant forgiveness history repeats, and this deja vu , it's like the clocks won't sleep ... so long... how long...
So long, how long... have I laid peacefully sleeping in these filthy sheets
Too long, so long... and if I grant forgiveness history repeats, and this deja vu , it's like the clocks won't sleep

Amy Robbins - Open Book
03:13

I'm an open book, but the words are too small
Take a closer look, maybe it's not your eyes at all
I try to tell you, but the pages are stuck
I'm coming unglued and I'm just about to spill my guts
They say it takes time, when it comes to find out who you are
And if I tell the truth, honey
Well I don't even know where to start
Come to your senses, looked deep inside my head, looked underneath my bed with no luck
But I'll keep searching
Looked 'round inside my heart, in the broad light of day
and in the dark
Well I'm so easy, to read that is , but the old font makes it hard
You said you barely know me, its tough when we're chapters apart
But you still hold me close, deep inside your pocket in the park
And when we get too close, you re-read me, from the start ....
They say it takes time, when it comes to find out who you are
And if I tell the truth, honey
Well I don't even know where to start
Come to your senses, looked deep inside my head, looked underneath my bed with no luck
But I'll keep searching
Looked 'round inside my heart, in the broad light of day
and in the dark
yes, in the dark
go from the start
well, let's take it again, from the start...

I think I waited too long, to tell you how I feel
I hope I haven't lost my chance
You know I've got to move on, and this time it's for real
But I saved you one last dance..
So come on dance with me, it's one last waltz for old time's sake
we'll set the night on fire and sleep when we are dead
Come on dance with me, turn the records up, our feet and heart beats will dance right in time.. just like when you were mine
oh , just like when you were mine
I know I don't exactly have my shit together
My silly job and country band...
You said the game just played me, but I still trust in karma
and she will someday hold your hand
So come on dance with me, it's one last waltz for old time's sake
we'll set the night on fire and sleep when we are dead
Come on dance with me, turn the records up, our feet and heart beats will dance right in time.. just like when you were mine
oh , just like when you were mine
I think I waited too long, to tell you how I feel, I hope I haven't lost my chance
You know I've got to move on and honey, this time I think it's for real, but I saved you one last dance ...
So come on dance with me, it's one last waltz for old time's sake
we'll set the night on fire and sleep when we are dead
Come on dance with me, turn the records up, our feet and heart beats will dance right in time.. just like when you were mine
oh , just like when you were mine
