SUPERHERO CD LYRICS:

SILENT HURRICANE
(written by Lauren Lapointe)

First time I saw you
Lighting up that room
Big guitar and an attitude
And everybody looked at you

You knew they were watching
You knew just what to say
I didn’t understand the game
That we were getting ready to play

You’re like a cold, cold sun
You’re like a dry, dry rain
You’re nothing that you seem to be
You are a silent hurricane

Because you are so charming
Because you shine so bright
Because it’s so exciting
To stand next to your light

I wanted to believe you
But your words they just weren’t right

You’re like a cold, cold sun
You’re like a dry, dry rain
You’re nothing that you seem to be
You are a silent hurricane

Now I watch for a warning
Like a cloud that looks too grey
But I can see the blue blue sky
Now your storm has blown away

You’re like a cold, cold sun
You’re like a dry, dry rain
You’re nothing that you seem to be
You are a silent hurricane

You’re like a cold, cold sun
You’re like a dry, dry rain
You’re nothing that you seem to be
You are a silent hurricane
You are a silent hurricane
You are a silent hurricane

SUPERHERO
(written by Lauren Lapointe)

Woke up this morning
Everything had changed
I was faster than a speeding bullet
Was I still the same

I wore a cape and had x-ray vision and sound
Buildings tall I could leap in one single bound
I was a superhero I just never knew ‘til now

Before the phone booth
I was a simple girl
I kept my superpowers
Hidden from the world

Now I wear a cape and have x-ray vision and sound
Buildings tall I can leap in one single bound
I am a superhero I just never knew ‘til now

And when I’m flying
Way up so high
I never dreamed that I would
Ever reach the sky

Now I wear a cape and have x-ray vision and sound
Buildings tall I can leap in one single bound
I am a superhero I just never knew ‘til now

So if you see me
Don’t be surprised
It’s no longer secret
My super disguise

SILVER COWBOY BOOTS
(written by Lauren Lapointe)

She thought she needed a cowboy
To sing her country songs
Thought she needed a harmony
To be strong

One day he rode away
There she stood alone
She blew away that dust he left
And realized she had grown

‘Cause she had silver cowboy boots and friends of gold
A Hummingbird guitar to play and a mandolin to hold
She had a heart of songs that she knew she had to sing
She had everything

She liked George and Tammy
Johnny and June
Dolly and Porter
Loretta and Conway too

But one voice can sing
Just as well as two
When Gram was gone too soon
She thought of Emmylou

She had silver cowboy boots and friends of gold
A Hummingbird guitar to play and a mandolin to hold
She had a heart of songs that she knew she had to sing
She had everything

One day she rose and she knew that she was fine
Those silver cowboy boots began to shine

Then she wrote that song
About a rodeo
The one where the cowgirl learns
It’s always been her show

And she had silver cowboy boots and friends of gold
A Hummingbird guitar to play and a mandolin to hold
She had a heart of songs that she knew she had to sing
She had everything
She had everything

I BELIEVE
(written by Lauren Lapointe)

I believe in the earth and sky
I believe in dark and light
I believe that if we tried
I believe we all could fly
I believe, oh I believe

I believe in the sound of the rain
And I believe we can love again
I believe in many names
I believe we’re all the same
I believe, oh I believe

Wouldn’t it be nice
If we could all see
We’re not so different
You and me
I believe, I believe

I believe in the moon and stars
I believe in shiny red cars
I believe in naming guitars
I believe you gotta follow your heart
I believe, oh I believe

Wouldn’t it be nice
If we could all see
We’re not so different
You and me
I believe, I believe

I believe in every dream
I believe in every being
I believe that we can’t see

All the things that we believe
I believe, oh I believe
I believe, oh I believe…
I believe
 

HEROINE
(written by Lauren Lapointe)

I’m gonna ride up on a white steed
I’m gonna swoop down and save me
I’m gonna take me places I’ve never been
Wine and dine and tuck me in

I’m gonna write me a poem, sing me a song
Tell my own fortune and read my palm
I’m gonna buy me roses and chocolate too
Only share if I want to

These days I’m only saving me
I am the princess who stands on her own two feet
And I don’t need rescuing
It’s my fairy tale and I’m the heroine

I’m gonna tell me a joke and laugh so long
Take me for a walk out by the pond
Smile at my reflection that I see
My best friend is staring back at me

These days I’m only saving me
I am the princess who stands on her own two feet
And I don’t need rescuing
It’s my fairy tale and I’m the heroine

My prince he walks right beside me
Hand in hand we slay the dragons equally

These days I’m only saving me
I am the princess who stands on her own two feet
And I don’t need rescuing
It’s my fairy tale and I’m the heroine
I'm the heroine
I'm the heroine

SCOTLAND TONIGHT
(written by Lauren Lapointe)

You can get there however you like
Me, I will travel by cover of night
I hear the bagpipes and I smell the sea
Follow the faeries and there you’ll find me

I dream of castles and things
Old ancient clans and warlords and kings
Surely I danced here in some other life
Now I’ll return to dance by the ghost light
I’ll be in Scotland tonight

I will take the high or low road
Tomorrow it’s off to Loch Lomond I’ll go
Maybe a mermaid or selkie I’ll see
Maybe I’ll realize that they’re just like me

I dream of castles and things
Old ancient clans and warlords and kings
Surely I danced here in some other life
Now I’ll return to dance by the ghost light
I’ll be in Scotland tonight

Who could leave this land of magic and mystery
How could I get so far

I hear the sigh of the wisp in the trees
Do I dare follow to places it leads
I saw the standing circle of stones
Maybe I’ll find that they were my home

I dream of castles and things
Old ancient clans and warlords and kings
Surely I danced here in some other life
Now I’ll return to dance by the ghost light
I’ll be in Scotland tonight
I’ll be in Scotland tonight

DUSTY TIRED ANGEL

(written by Lauren Lapointe & Taylor Martin)

Well I grew up the hard way
Without a helping hand
I tried to do the right thing
'Cause I’m an honest man
Never had much money
To give to the church
It may not make God happy
But I couldn’t find the work

When the rich and the famous
Get judged in the end
They'll play trumpets and harps
And a few violins
The best I can hope for
When my time here is spent
Is a dusty tired angel
And an old mandolin

The first time that I saw her
She was dressed all in white
The preacher’s daughter Mary
I would never be her type
I knew that I would love her
‘Til the very day I died
But I never ever told her
And she never was my bride

When the rich and the famous
Get judged in the end
They'll play trumpets and harps
And a few violins
The best I can hope for
When my time here is spent
Is a dusty tired angel
And an old mandolin

Over the years my hands got harder
And my skin has turned brown
And my sister’s son Jimmy
Says I always wear a frown

One day I got a letter
Mary’d found a wealthy man
She wondered why I stayed alone
She’d never understand

When the rich and the famous
Get judged in the end
They'll play trumpets and harps
And a few violins
The best I can hope for
When my time here is spent
Is a dusty tired angel
And an old mandolin

The best I can hope for
When my time here is spent
Is a dusty tired angel
And an old mandolin

RATTLESNAKE MOUNTAIN ROAD

(written by Lauren Lapointe & Taylor Martin)

Rattlesnake Mountain Road
That's where I gotta go
Got a list of things I need
To sanctify my soul

Well the devil he told me girl
Don't you tell no one you know
Gonna break the vow I made to him
On Rattlesnake Mountain Road

Rattlesnake Mountain Road
That's where I gotta go
Gonna sanctify my soul
On Rattlesnake Mountain Road

Well the list it ain't too long
And I'll tell you how it goes
It was given to me on an old jaw bone
On Rattlesnake Mountain Road

Get a rockin chair of silk
And a cradle made of stone
Bring a baby's cry on the first full moon
To Rattlesnake Mountain Road

Rattlesnake Mountain Road
That's where I gotta go
Gonna sanctify my soul
On Rattlesnake Mountain Road

Well there ain’t no thing as a silken chair
Or a cradle made of stone
And the babes were quiet on the first full moon
On Rattlesnake Mountain Road

So I went back down the holler
With a darkness on my soul
The devil smiled and he said my child
It's Rattlesnake Mountain Road

Rattlesnake Mountain Road
Is your eternal home
Your soul is mine, you're left behind
On Rattlesnake Mountain Road

Rattlesnake Mountain Road
That's where I gotta go
Gonna sanctify my soul
On Rattlesnake Mountain Road
Rattlesnake Mountain Road
Rattlesnake Mountain Road...

THE GHOST OF ELVIS
(written by Lauren Lapointe)

Late at night when the whole world dreams
She hears the ghost of Elvis singing her to sleep
He says “baby, come and sing with me”
She says “oh Elvis I’ve been waiting for your company”

Every day it’s just the same old thing
Cookin’ and a’cleanin’ and nobody listening
She says “maybe I’d like to dress up right
Put on my sequins and dance with Elvis tonight”

The ghost of Elvis likes to sing the blues
The ghost of Elvis and those blue suede shoes
He says “baby come to the jailhouse with me
You’ve been down at the heartbreak hotel hangin’ with the lonely”

She went to Graceland just to see where he died
She lay on his gravestone and oh how she cried
He said “don’t cry baby I’m not so far
When you look at the nighttime sky I’ll be that rhinestone star”

The ghost of Elvis likes to sing the blues
The ghost of Elvis and those blue suede shoes
He says “baby you know I won’t be cruel”
She says “oh Elvis won’t you be my hound dog too”

The ghost of Elvis likes to sing the blues
The ghost of Elvis and those blue suede shoes
He says “baby stay in the jailhouse with me
You’ve been down at the heartbreak hotel hangin’ with the lonely
You’ve been down at the heartbreak hotel hangin’ with the lonely”

SIT HOME AND CRY

(written by Lauren Lapointe)

They say it’s time to dry all my tears
And get up and put on a smile
But I won’t be wearing nothin’ but pride
‘Cause I’d rather sit home and cry

I’d rather sit home and cry
I’d rather stay here than tell you goodbye
Now all I got here is nothin’ but time
And I’d rather sit home and cry

Remember the way that you looked at me
Oh I believed you were mine
But the words that you whispered they don’t mean a thing
So I’m gonna sit home and cry

I’d rather sit home and cry
I’d rather stay here than tell you goodbye
Now all I got here is nothin’ but time
And I’d rather sit home and cry

I’d rather sit home and cry
I’d rather stay here than tell you goodbye
Now all I got here is nothin’ but time
And I’d rather sit home and cry
And I’d rather sit home and cry

WHEN THE WIND BLOWS

(written by Lauren Lapointe)

When the wind blows I will follow
Where it leads I will go
When the wind blows I’ll be ready
I will heed its' gentle call

When the dawn breaks I will waken
I will rise like the sun
When the dawn breaks I’ll be standing
I’ll reach out my arms to everyone

Oh wind oh blow
Where it leads me I will go

When the rain falls I will listen
To its sad and mournful cry
I will not turn from its sorrow
I will sing its lonely lullaby

Oh wind oh blow
Where it leads me I will go

As I sit in the silence
I can hear, I will know
When the wind will blow

When the sea weeps for the lover
Whose last star has disappeared
When the sea weeps I will holler
I will taste its bitter tears

Oh wind oh blow
Where it leads me I will go

As I sit in the silence
I can hear, I will know
When the wind will blow

Oh wind oh blow
Where it leads me I will go
Oh wind oh blow
Where it leads I will go

IF ALL THE FLOWERS WERE THE SAME

(written by Lauren Lapointe)

As I walk through the garden filled with flowers
So many I can’t name
I drink in their beauty and I am grateful
The flowers are not all the same

‘Cause I love the roses and I love the daisies
Some love chrysanthemums
They’re all so different and all so lovely
How could I choose only one

If all the flowers were the same
Would all our colors look like grey
No more yellow no more blue
Azaleas and lilies wouldn’t bloom
Spring would be so plain
If all the flowers were the same

What if the violets woke one day and said
We have had enough
We won’t share our garden with other flowers
Unless they look just like us

If all the flowers were the same
Would all our colors look like grey
No more yellow no more blue
Azaleas and lilies wouldn’t bloom
Spring would be so plain
If all the flowers were the same

So I asked the bees and the birds
What kind of flower did they prefer
They laughed as they flew on by
“We love them all” I heard them cry

If all the flowers were the same
Would all our colors look like grey
No more yellow no more blue
Azaleas and lilies wouldn’t bloom
Spring would be so plain
If all the flowers were the same
If all the flowers were the same

BUTTERFLY CD LYRICS:

BUTTERFLY

(written by Lauren Lapointe)

Every morning when I wake and see the sun
I yawn and stretch and wonder what I will become
Will I always be so clumsy and so small
Will I ever learn to run or must I always crawl

I want to be strong
I want to be tall
I want to see the whole wide world
And never have to fall
I wish I could fly
And one day I'm going to try
I want to be just like a butterfly

In the afternoon I start to feel so brave
But when I stretch my wings I'm told I must behave
I want to play I want a taste of everything
Even if it's bitter than I'll know that it can sting

I want to be strong
I want to be tall
I want to see the whole wide world
And never have to fall
I wish I could fly
And one day I'm going to try
I want to be just like a butterfly

And in the evening when the stars they shine
I want to touch them all but they just can't be mine
I'm tired of living in my warm and safe cocoon
I'd rather be up in the sky with the moon

I want to be strong
I want to be tall
I want to see the whole wide world
And never have to fall
I wish I could fly
And one day I'm going to try
I want to be just like a butterfly

I want to be strong
I want to be tall
I want to see the whole wide world
And never have to fall
I wish I could fly
And one day I'm going to try
I want to be just like a butterfly
I want to be just like a butterfly

NORTH STAR

(written by Lauren Lapointe) 

North star hear me callin’ out your name

It’s a quiet night and the stars all look the same

How long must I patiently stand here and wait

North star hear me callin’ and shine my way

Just as soon as I find you, you slip away

I’m left trippin’ on clouds and cold rainy days

I’d like my turn in the sunshine my time to play

North star hear me callin’ and shine my way

North star hear me callin’ out your name

I took some time to find you but I can’t stay

I’ve got these places to go to, these plans to make

North star hear me callin’ and shine my way

North star hear me callin’ out your name 

A thousand stars light up the sky like rays

I swear I won’t let you out of my sight again

North star hear me callin’ and shine my way

North star hear me callin’ and shine my way

North star hear me callin’ and shine my way

THE LAST TREE

(written by Lauren Lapointe)

What will we do when the last tree is gone
What will we see when everything is neon
What will we say when the sun has gone to bed
All of our dreams are made of plastic instead

When the last tree falls
Who will see it
When the last eagle calls
Who will hear it
When the water is all gone
Will we know what we have done
When the last tree falls

Who's got the biggest house, the biggest car
We're so busy looking at each other we can't see the stars
The air that we breathe is filled with dangerous things
Now we hide our faces from the beauty that is spring

When the last tree falls
Who will see it
When the last eagle calls
Who will hear it
When the water is all gone
Will we know what we have done
When the last tree falls

We don't have to gather every flower we see
We can let them live and die here naturally

Once upon a time we lived in harmony
A silent barter system with the land and the sea
We took what we needed but we always gave back
The cycle has been broken and the planet's getting mad

When the last tree falls
Who will see it
When the last eagle calls
Who will hear it
When the water is all gone
Will we know what we have done
When the last tree falls

MY BABY

(written by Lauren Lapointe)

My baby he's so fine
He can love me all the time
My baby

My baby's been around most of my life
I always knew I'd be his wife
My baby

I sit at home and stare at the wall
Thinkin' 'bout my baby

My baby works all night
Gets home drunk and starts a fight
My baby

My baby knows how to please
He begs forgiveness on his hands and his knees
So sweetly

I sit at home and cry and cry and cry
Waiting for my baby

Once in a lifetime someone will come along
Sing to you your favorite song
How could it ever, ever be wrong
No, no, no, no, not my baby

I'll clean his dirty shoes
I'll pretend I like the booze
Lipstick's not the only stain
I know this love, this love is not in vain
No, 'cause I got my baby

I sit at home and cry and cry and cry
Waiting for my baby

Once in a lifetime someone will come along
Sing to you your favorite song
How could it ever, ever be wrong
No, no, no, no, not my baby
No, no, no, no, not my baby...

LONELY ROAD

(written by Lauren Lapointe)

It's a lonely road
It's a long way to go
Only moon to light my way
I can't see by the day
It's a lonely road

I don't know what I'll find
An ocean a mountain to climb
Down this path I'll go
It's the only way I know
On this lonely road

Hear the silence that's hidden in the trees
The stillness of the night's beauty

It's a lonely road
I have so far to go
When the rain should fall
I want to feel it all
On this lonely road
On this lonely road
On this lonely road

THE MERMAID'S BIRTHDAY

(written by Lauren Lapointe)

A little girl liked to pretend
A mermaid was her secret friend
Only she could see
Only she could see

Once a year, she'd call the waves
"It's a special day let's celebrate
The mermaid's birthday
The mermaid's birthday"

Everybody knows a child just grows old
No one's really seen a mermaid swimming in the sea
Birthdays are reminders of the dreamers we used to be
Who has time for make believe?

The dolphins came, the whales they played
Everybody danced with the mermaid
On her birthday
The mermaid's birthday

The little girl began to sing
'Til her parents told her there was no such thing
As a mermaid's birthday
A mermaid's birthday

Everybody knows a child just grows old
No one's really seen a mermaid swimming in the sea
Birthdays are reminders of the dreamers we used to be
Who has time for make believe?

The fish they cried, "Come back and play!"
To the little girl who grew up that day
On the mermaid's birthday
The mermaid's birthday

Evening came they all went home
The mermaid was all alone
On her birthday
The mermaid's birthday

Everybody knows a child just grows old
No one's really seen a mermaid swimming in the sea
Birthdays are reminders of the dreamers we used to be
Who has time for make believe?

The mermaid whispered in the little girl's ear
"Now don't be sad, I'll come back next year…"

I DON'T KNOW

(written by Lauren Lapointe)

Why is it so hard to follow a dream
Why is it so hard to live happily
Why are we scared of the things we cannot see
How did this happen to me

I don't know, know, know
Know, know, know
I don't know if I'll ever know

Why can't we stand where the ocean meets the sky
Why do these mountains stand so high
Where are the answers that I can never find
How can I rest my troubled mind

I don't know, know, know
Know, know, know
I don't know if I'll ever know

I don't know, know, know
Know, know, know
I don't know if I'll ever know

A single star shines alone tonight
How did it ever get so bright
I don't know

Why is the moon so far away
Why is there pain in the things that people say
The world just falls apart a little more each day
How did we let it get this way

I don't know, know, know
Know, know, know
I don't know if I'll ever know

I don't know, know, know
Know, know, know
I don't know if I'll ever know

BALLERINA GIRL

(written by Lauren Lapointe)

Forty long years she did her time

Crunching numbers at her desk from nine to five

On her final day, she drove away

Said she had this dream and now she didn’t want to wait

To be a ballerina, ballerina girl again

Touching the stars

They can't really be that far

To be a ballerina, ballerina girl again

Like in Swan Lake, she's not too late

Ballerina girl

She saw someone dancing by the side of the road

Just a little girl all dressed up in her ballet clothes

As she watched her spin around, an imaginary queen

Said she knew they weren't that different for they both had this dream

To be a ballerina, ballerina girl again

Touching the stars

Oh they’re really not that far

To be a ballerina, ballerina girl again

Like in Swan Lake, she's not too late

Ballerina girl

They said she’d never get to her first pirouette

But how she spun and she had only just begun

Then she danced for so long and so hard

Knew she was that little girl with her eyes full of stars

Now she’s 85 and she’s never felt more alive

She’s teaching other dreamers you can dream at anytime

To be a ballerina, ballerina girl again

Touching the stars

Oh they’re really not that far

To be a ballerina, ballerina girl again

Like in Swan Lake, she's not too late

Ballerina girl

Like in Swan Lake, she's not too late

Ballerina girl

THE SOUND OF THE SEA

(written by Lauren Lapointe) 

We live alone
On an island of stone
My husband, three children and me

We keep the light
That shines through the night
For the ships as they travel to sea

Sometimes in all of this silence
I hear the waves calling to me
They tease me with dreams of such far away things
It's only the sound of the sea

The children are fed
Safely in bed
I pick up my candle and flee

With such a small light
It's just me and the night
The moon and her empathy

Sometimes in all of this silence
I hear the waves calling to me
They tease me with dreams of such far away things
It's only the sound of the sea

How the ocean sang to me
A siren song so sweet
Now I am the sound of the sea

Sometimes in all of this silence
I hear the waves calling to me
They tease me with dreams of such far away things
It's only the sound of the sea

It's only the sound of the sea

I WATCH THE SHIPS GO BY

(written by Lauren Lapointe)

A box of paints, a poem or two
Sit in the corner of my room
Maybe one day I'll find a way
To do all the things that I want to do
And I won't have to be a dreamer anymore

I sit and watch the ships go by
They get to sail away, I wonder why can't I
Sail away too
Into the sky it looks so blue
I would like to sail away too

I have a list of all the things I'd like to see
Before the end of my life comes to reclaim me
And I could touch the moon if it wanted me to
I'd run away and become a planet too
Don't want to be a dreamer anymore

I sit and watch the ships go by
They get to sail away, I wonder why can't I
Sail away too
Into the sky it looks so blue
I would like to sail away too

So many things I want to do

I sit and watch the ships go by
They get to sail away, I wonder why can't I
Sail away too
Into the sky it looks so blue
I would like to sail away too
Into the sky so blue...

I sit and watch the ships go by
They get to sail away, I wonder why can't I
Sail away too
Into the sky it looks so blue
I would like to sail away too
Into the sky so blue
Maybe one day I will sail away too
I watch the ships go by

LA LOCA

(written by Lauren Lapointe)

Here's a story of the madness
The princess of Castile
500 years have passed us
Since she met her king
She thought she knew their love was true
But she was just sixteen
When she lost her heart, she lost her mind
They called her La Loca
The crazy queen

For those who love too much
Who give with all their hearts
La Loca sings 

When first his eyes beheld her
How he drew her close
But as the fires were dying
She became so cold
The sleepless nights, the endless fights
She knew not what to do
He locked her in a tower, said she could not rule
The crazy queen

For those who love too much
Who give with all their hearts
La Loca sings
La Loca sings 

There are those who still remember
The pretty Spanish queen
The one who's only madness
Was to love her king
On the day he died, oh how she cried
They would not set her free
They kept her in her tower and threw away the key
The crazy queen

For those who love too much
Who give with all their hearts
La Loca sings 
La Loca sings
La Loca sings

LADY CHARLOTTE

(written by Lauren Lapointe)

Lady Charlotte it’s time to go

Leave behind the only life you know

It’s warmer in the garden below

Sometimes this castle can get so col

On a dark and moonless night

You said goodbye

For love

You did it all for love

All for love

You did it all for love

You’d cross oceans, live in distant lands

With just one life you’ve got to do all that you can

They said he was a simple man

Simple was the reason why you ran

If it’s hard you never say

You know it was the only way

For love

You did it all for love

All for love

You did it all for love

And when your children cry to see

The land of Irish mystery

You take their hands and whisper gently

For love

You did it all for love

All for love

You did it all for love

For love

You did it all for love

All for love

You did it all for love

You did it all for love

CANADIAN BELLE

(written by Lauren Lapointe)

When I open my mouth to speak
People are wondering what's wrong with me
I talk real funny where am I from?
This, my friend, is a conundrum

'Cause I'm a Northern girl in a Southern place
Might as well be from outer space
I say "eh" and "y'all" as well
I'm a Canadian Belle

I like hockey but I sure don't ski
Snow's real pretty, white's no good on me
Give me some grits with lots of cheese
And you can say "yes ma'am" to me all you please

'Cause I'm a Northern girl in a Southern place
Might as well be from outer space
I say "eh" and "y'all" as well
I'm a Canadian Belle
I'm a Canadian Belle

Language or color, all the trouble's the same
People pickin' fights, just another name
I'm not real used to guns and crime
But I like wearing shorts in the winter just fine

Palmetto bugs don't make sense to me
Why give wings to something so ugly?
Give me mint juleps or some unsweet tea
And I won't even mind the humidity

'Cause I'm a Northern girl in a Southern place
Might as well be from outer space
I say "eh" and "y'all" as well
I'm a Canadian Belle
I'm a Canadian Belle

Canadians with their hearts of gold
Will warm you even when it's cold
Then there's Southern hospitality
Not much difference far as I can see

'Cause I'm a Northern girl in a Southern place
Might as well be from outer space
I say "eh" and "y'all" as well
I'm a Canadian Belle

'Cause I'm a Northern girl in a Southern town
I can't tell if I'm up or down
But I like both and it's just as well
'Cause I'm a Canadian Belle
I'm a Canadian Belle
I'm a Canadian Belle

YOU'RE NOT COMING BACK TO ME

(written by Lauren Lapointe)

I've been driving all night
A long way from home
I've been driving all night
All alone

You've been searching for something
What can it be
You've been searching for something
It sure isn't me

Baby can't you see
You're in every part of me
Night closes down on this road to eternity
'Cause you're not coming back to me

Maybe I'm not perfect
Well what about you
You think you deserve the sun, the stars
And the moon too

Baby can't you see
You're in every part of me
Night closes down on this road to eternity
'Cause you're not coming back to me

Five A.M. and the night is still young
How can you sleep with the things that you've done

Baby can't you see
You're in every part of me
Night closes down on this road to eternity
'Cause you're not coming back to me
No, you're not coming back to me
No, you're not coming back to me

I've been driving all night

YOU COULD BE KING

(written by Lauren Lapointe)

Baby when you look at me
Maybe you will one day see
You're good enough
You could be king

Baby when you look into my eyes
I know that you crossed the lines sometimes
You're strong enough
You could be king

When you look into the mirror
Do you see your own reflection
And all the beauty that's inside?

Can't hold a candle to it
Too scared to get too near it
Isn't it much easier to hide?

Baby when you look at me
Maybe you will one day see
You're good enough
You could be king

Baby when you look into my eyes
I know that you crossed the lines sometimes
You're strong enough
You could be king

Just take yourself for granted
Sow the seed that other's planted
Wondering why love has passed you by

You're on an island in the sea
But you're right next to me
So let's try to find each other tonight

Baby when you look at me
Maybe you will one day see
You're good enough
You could be king

Baby when you look into my eyes
I know that you crossed the lines sometimes
You're strong enough
You could be king

Don't second-guess your instinct
You may find it's right
And then you'll fly

Baby when you look at me
Maybe you will one day see
You're good enough
You could be king

Baby when you look into my eyes
I know that you crossed the lines sometimes
You're strong enough
You could be king
You're strong enough
You could be king
You're strong enough
You could be king

YOU HAVE TO GO

(written by Lauren Lapointe)

Oh baby the love that you gave me
Made me strong inside
A fire burnin'
Makin' me feel alive
But on the day you left me
I thought I would die
Though I wait in shadow
I will never hide

You have to go
Find a place of your own
I can't help you this time
You have to go alone
Cross those mountains
Face the stormy seas
When you found what you're missing
You'll see that it's me

I can't say I blame you
For wanting more and more
We've all felt this feeling
At least once before
The light it fades now
And I can't see your smile
I turn towards the darkness
Just for awhile

You have to go
Find a place of your own
I can't help you this time
You have to go alone
Cross those mountains
Face the stormy seas
When you found what you're missing
You'll see that it's me

Hurry back baby I am losing memory
Give me something, just a little hope
Something I can see

You have to go
Find a place of your own
I can't help you this time
You have to go alone
Cross those mountains
Face the stormy seas
When you found what you're missing
You'll see that it's me
You'll see that it's me
You'll see that it's me

BEAUTIFUL SHADOW

(written by Lauren Lapointe)

Boy in the corner
He is too afraid to smile
He'd rather imagine places
Where he can be someone else for awhile

He paints a picture
Of the way he'd like to be
And at night he dreams he is an eagle
So strong and free

Beautiful shadow
Run away, run away
Such a familiar refrain
We don't have to be the same
Your strength is in your silence
And your beauty's not skin deep
You are not alone, beautiful shadow
You are not alone

She always wanted to be
More like the girls at her school
She envied the effortless way
It took for them to be cool

She sang her song in a garden of dreams
Where no one could hear her soul
And learned to be invisible
As she went about the world

Beautiful shadow
Run away, run away
Such a familiar refrain
We don't have to be the same
Your strength is in your silence
And your beauty's not skin deep
You are not alone, beautiful shadow
You are not alone

You are not alone, beautiful shadow
You are not alone

GYPSY

(written by Lauren Lapointe)

Cold morning
Long evening
Another day is over
And it's time to be dreamin'

Hear the children laughing
And you don't remember why
See the birds along the ledge
They only want to fly

You're just a gypsy
On your way to distant places
Barely time to catch your breath
And memorize the faces
It's an open road
It's like an invitation
You don't have to worry about seeing the end
You'll never reach your destination

You want to be so wild
'Cause somebody said you were tame
It's easier to run
Than sacrifice your name

You're just a gypsy
On your way to distant places
Barely time to catch your breath
And memorize the faces
It's an open road
It's like an invitation
You don't have to worry about seeing the end
You'll never reach your destination

Warm wind in your hair
Makes you want to be free
Roll the top down
Chase eternity

You're just a gypsy
On your way to distant places
Barely time to catch your breath
And memorize...
It's an open road
It's like an invitation
You don't have to worry about seeing the end
You'll never reach your destination
 

Oh, oh...

NEW MEXICO

(written by Lauren Lapointe)

I've been dreamin' of the place I'll go
When it's time to run
New Mexico

I'll be sleepin' under the stars tonight
Though they may be far
They're gonna shine so bright

So hard to leave here
I've got my comfort
And everything I need so near

Some day I'll go
Follow my heart to New Mexico
Maybe I'll find
That New Mexico is just inside my mind

I'll only bring the things I needs
Without my guitar
I won't get too far

I can finally sing a song or two for free
'Cause I won't have to sing
For anyone but me

So hard to leave here
I've got my comfort
And everything I need so near

Some day I'll go
Follow my heart to New Mexico
Maybe I'll find
That New Mexico is just inside my mind

Everyone's here telling me what to do
But what I really need is you

Some day I'll go
Follow my heart to New Mexico
Maybe I'll find
That New Mexico is just inside my mind

New Mexico, I'm coming to you...

NEVER TOO LATE

(written by Lauren Lapointe)

I heard someone day that our differences won't go away
And we will all die one day
Then I saw the sun it looked at us like we were one
And laughed at all the damage we had done

We are all the same
Just people with our passions and our shame
Trying hard to make a name
We all love, we all hate
We can't deny that this is not our fate
And it's never too late to try again
No, it's never too late

With one eye you can see what other's do
When it's closed you can finally see the truth
Blinded by the colors, the kaleidoscope of life
A marriage of society, of politics and strife

We are all the same
Just people with our passions and our shame
Trying hard to make a name
We all love, we all hate
We can't deny that this is not our fate
And it's never too late to try again
No, it's never too late

The sands of time are slipping
But your ship hasn't come in
Time to put the blade away
And search for blood within

We all need some mission, some star to guide our path
Some choose enlightenment while others prefer wrath
We need a code of honor to help us find our way
Regardless of your path this code will never let you stray

We are all the same
Just people with our passions and our shame
Trying hard to make a name
We all love, we all hate
We can't deny that this is not our fate
And it's never too late to try again
No, it's never too late

No, it's never too late
No, i's never too late
We are all the same

ANGEL

(written by Lauren Lapointe)

Sun slips behind the moon
You'll come out pretty soon
Smokin' cigarettes and chasin' dreams

I never see you hide your face
You are always full of grace
You are everything that you seem

You cast your eyes above
Take what's yours and still find love
Your heart is filled with light

Angel
Though you still have a broken wing
You are not afraid to sing
Angel
Through the dusky starlit sky
You are not afraid to fly

Your words are made of blood
And tears that are misunderstood
These fears that beckon in the night

But this life though it's not been long
Has been enough to make you strong
You won't go down without a fight

You cast your eyes above
Take what's yours and still find love
Your heart is filled with light

Angel
Though you still have a broken wing
You are not afraid to sing
Angel
Through the dusky starlit sky
You are not afraid to fly

And you will sing
You will sing
Angel
