Journey
-by Gabrielle Louise and Andres Rotmistrovsky

it was a coming on winter, she blew in from the sea
like a hell-bent fire in busted jeans

and it wasn?t worth asking where she was from
?cause Adoline could kill a man with one slip of her tongue
and she would say

hey hey life is a journey
I?m taking the long road, and I?m taking my time
hey hey we?re all just a searching
you?ll find your own way,
so get the hell outa mine!

had her thumb out on the highway, jumped into a pick up truck
then after bout an hour she felt like openin? up,

she said a mother?s like an artist, they form the child they raise
the trouble with mine was she didn?t really like to paint
but she would say

chorus

rain beat on the windshield
she rode with him a way
but half way to L.A.
she slammed the door and said

hey hey life is a jouney,
so get on with your way, and I?ll go mine!
hey, hey we?re all just searching
taking the long road, and taking our time,
I'm taking the long road, and taking my time,
taking the long road, and taking my time!

I've Got You
-by Gabrielle Louise

caffeine and alcohol, nicotine and menthol
I've got no addictions, none at all
but I've got you. I've got you.

sitcoms and favorite songs
reruns droning through paper thin walls
I've got no addictions, none at all
but I've got you. I've got you.
and I'll come back to you til I'm blue
I?ve got you.

I've got you in the morning
I've got you in the evening
I've got you when we're sleeping

it's not like me to say yes all the time
but when you smile like you smile I forget about my pride
it's that thirsty desperation in your desert colored eyes
and I come unglued, oh I come unglued.
and I'm betting in a game I can't loose
cause I?ve got you. I've got you. Oh I've got you.

More About You
-by Gabrielle Louise

you walk about with summertime still in your eyes
the scent still lingers on from nights by fireside
and I dream about the thrilling moments of your life
oh, I want to know more about you.

the freedom of a windy street still in your hair
the swagger of a samba hanging in the air
oh, it would please me just to please be caught up in your snare
I want to know more about you.

I want to know more about you
there is a glow in your energy
I want to sail into your body like an endless sea
I want to know more about you.

you lead me like a dancer in a masquerade
and I breathe you with the smoke that I watch dissipate
how sweetly you surround me before you?re gone again
I want to know more about you

Chorus

In The Water
-by Gabrielle Louise and Patricia Fitzgerald

going to the wide, wide, wide, wide, wide, wide river out yonder.
wanna feel the cold, cold, cold, cold, cold water over my shoulders.
I need that old time, old time religion, oh that
holy spirit?s more than a feelin??
before they put me underground
my soul be safe and sound in the water, yeah.

gonna get a new, new, new, new, new, new love I'm needing,
he?s gonna pay, pay, pay, pay, pave my way to eden.
just like his baby, baby brother,
where the savior travels I?m bound to follow?
before they put me underground
my soul be safe and sound in the water, yeah.

wrapped in silver waves, I?m purified
wading in his sight, my friend, my guide!

going to the wide, wide, wide, wide, wide, wide river out yonder.
wanna feel the cold, cold, cold, cold, cold water over my shoulders.
I need that old time, old time religion, oh that
holy spirit?s more than a feelin??
before they put me underground,
my soul be safe and sound in the water, yeah.
before they put me underground,
my soul be safe and sound in the water.

First Light
-by Gabrielle Louise

it?s four in the morning, and it?s raining
like you haven?t seen for months.
just a kerosene lantern and a bad dream;
you keep waking up
it?s a little uncouth at this time,
cause I know what?s been on your mind.

but just try, try, try to hold on through the night,
hope comes with first light.

well this time it?s her that?s been wondering
if you could have a second chance
but it?s a little bit shaky, cause you don?t know
if it would last.
and you?ve never been one for games,
but lately those lines have been gray!

but just try, try, try to hold on through the night,
hope comes with first light.

hey, hey a-ay
it?s like a broken record, all these broken dreams,
and your lamp?s running low on kerosene...
but just try, try, try to hold on through the night,
hope comes with first light.
hope comes with first light.

The Optimist
-by Gabrielle Louise and Andres Rotmistrovsky

the stranger waiting for the train wears sawdust and paint,
put out a cigarette.
The framework of the home my father made he sanded and he stained,
sang to an old cassette
he?s as sturdy as the boards, but as stubborn as the storm.

I?ve learned to love that old man for who he is,
and I?ve learned to love this life just because we live;
it?s not a change, it?s a choice that he can?t resist?
to look at things like an optimist.
teach me to think like an optimist.

the stranger takes an empty seat, his hands are lined with amber vines
and smell of turpentine;
and somewhere he?s building his own dreams, his eyes reflect the city lights
and a strength of mind
that's as intricate as lace and just as woven in its ways.

and I?ve learned to love this old man for who he is,
and I?ve learned to love this life just because we live;
it?s not a change, it?s a choice that I can?t resist?
to look at things like an optimist.
to look at things like an optimist,
he taught me to think like an optimist.

Midnight Angels
-by Yuri Chicovsky

Why don?t you come downtown when there's no one around
I'll pick up a good red wine to drink beneath the white moonshine
and we'll dance between the tangles of all the midnight angels,
and we'll dance all night long.

the streets paved in the satin silence
sequester the daytime's violence
when violins like distant sirens
sing the darkness into diamonds
those things you do, those things you say
throughout your busy day,
when you come to me when the sun goes down,
there's no one around

and we'll dance between the tangles of all the midnight angels,
and we'll dance all night long.

Laugh
-by Gabrielle Louise

I want my hair so long it crawls down my back
and I want my eyes so wide they?d throw you off track.
I want my waist so thin that it can carve the wind
as it curls around my hip.

and I want to sip in the sun with the tip of my tongue,
I want to laugh. oh oh oh.

well I don?t mind if the world passes by
they can walk right on, yeah, and I don?t mind
but when I laugh, I want the world to laugh back.
I want to laugh with you.

I want to ride so fast I don't have time to look back
but I can't, cause I want to dance.
I wanna stand with my back held safely in your hands
as you grace my lips.

and I want to sip in the sun
with the tip of my tongue, and
I want to laugh. oh oh oh.

well I don?t mind if the world passes by
they can walk right on, yeah, and I don?t mind
but when I laugh, I want the world to laugh back.
I wanna laugh with you.

Gone Again
-by Gabrielle Louise

I braid my hair before I sleep at night
a cup of tea by candlelight
a good book?s better than another fight,
so I?ve got no complaints.

you bet me, ?baby, just give me a month??
small wonder that I fell in love?
but love?s a flicker to the fickle young,
it seems to run from those who wait!

so I don?t need it, I don?t want it,
and If I had you, you?d be gone again!
cause first you?re loving, but then you?re running,
(you) think you?re a saint if you don?t believe in sin.
but what a charming grin...

i keep no secrets, had a wild past
damn, some pleasures wear a pretty mask
sometimes I wish my heart was iron-cast
to skip out on the pain!

chorus

oh, I don?t mind remembering,
of course you had of a few good things,
and thinking of them?s safe enough.
but building dreams out of memories,
well that gets tough!

so I don?t need it, and I don?t want it!
and If I had you you?d be gone
when I opened my eyes again!
cause first you're loving, but then your running,
think you?re a saint if you don?t believe,
don?t believe in sin.

and then your gone again.

Where I Belong
-by Gabrielle Louise and Paul Sadler the III

in the lilly white springtime the snow keeps a secret,
the silence of the river is like a child yet unborn.
in the stillness of the water there?s a hundred shinning summers,
I hardly but remember before I start to mourn.

oh seasons come, and seasons go
and I have yet to find a home
but I?ll be back, I?ll be back
where I belong.

in the silver of autumn when the moon paints the forest
the creatures of the evening sing sweetly and forlorn.
the evergreens in winter, with arms cradling like a mother?s
welcome me home when I am weak, when I am worn.

Chorus
