El Matador Beach 04:34
lyrics
buy track
I held your heart on El Matador Beach Breathing with the waves Birds flew ahead just out of reach In the shade beneath the cave A girl in pink and yellow danced by In the land of golden youth I love you so much that it made me cry For the sad, sad joy of the truth Oh, hear the waves, washing clean away Inhaling and exhaling, day after day Try as we might, we'll never, ever control the ocean Stop the day from becoming the night, The minutes from drifting in motion Oh, hear the waves, washing clean away Inhaling and exhaling, day after day Where are the moments past Oh, they didn't last And I learned too late So many seashells kept So many teardrops wept at the hands of fate Oh, hear the waves, breathing on and on They're not gonna pause for a moment After we are gone Oh They're not gonna pause for a moment After we are gone

Go Where It's Warm 03:12
lyrics

I go to kiss you, you turn to the side One little move and I crumble inside I don't know why I ever tried to love you Your eyes are closed, you’re far away Dreaming about some other day Pretending I'm not your friend, I'm somebody new I gotta go, I gotta go I gotta go where it's warm 'Cause the winds of change Are blowing through I gotta go where it's warm Where I don't have to perform And I'll be far, far away from you I'm leaving behind the hesitant kind Ones who screwed with my heart and my mind Not quite as sexy as it seems And I'm going to find the sweetest touch The one who loves me oh so much The eyes that gaze upon me as in dreams I gotta go, I gotta go I gotta go where it's warm 'Cause the winds of change Are blowing through I gotta go where it's warm Where I don't have to perform And I'll be far, far away from you I still believe in impossible bliss I'll never, ever again have to plead for a kiss 'Cause someone is going to love me when I'm grey Won't tell me the truth, just tell me I'm cute anyway I gotta go, I gotta go I gotta go where it's warm 'Cause the winds of change Are blowing through I'm gonna go where it's warm Where I don't have to perform And I'll be far, far away from you Oh, I'll be far, far away from you Yeah, I'll be far, far away from you

Walk It Alone 04:29
lyrics
buy track
The first fire of fall The coyotes call An owl surveys the city It's a challenging climb And there isn't much time Before the sun goes down Seems like a pity Up here there's no one around Lights come on over town The wind sounds just like the sea I wish that you could see The orange-purple sky The moon coming out of the clouds Even now after everything I would run to you If only I wasn't so proud But I walk it alone Shadows cross the hills before me Another evening in L.A. Try to remember That all is passing Starslight up, then they fade away Birds are all crying and I keep on trying To forget that you're not here with me Oh I wish that you could see The orange-purple sky The moon coming out of the clouds Even now after everything I'd still run to you If only I wasn't so proud But I walk it alone Birds are all crying and I keep on trying To forget that you're not here with me Oh I wish that you could see The orange-purple sky The moon coming out of the clouds Even now after everything I would run to you If only I wasn't so proud But I walk it alone

Never Been Hurt 04:31
lyrics

One day I didn’t have a care Except my picture in the mirror And the color of my hair I sang along to records about tomorrow Now my hands are worn, and my clothes are torn And a lot of my dreams have been met with scorn And I don’t have too much time left to borrow But still I’m gonna love you like I’ve never been hurt before Love you like I’ve never been hurt before Love you like I’ve never been hurt, I’m gonna start all over and know what it’s worth Love you like I’ve never been hurt before Your stubborn independence Reminds me of myself It doesn’t make a lot of sense It isn’t very good for health I know you want to be alone But I sure like talking on the phone And I’ve finally left my carry-on bag behind me Yeah I'm gonna love you like I’ve never been hurt before Love you like I’ve never been hurt before Love you like I’ve never been hurt, I’m gonna start all over and know what it’s worth Love you like I’ve never been hurt before I'm gonna start all over and know what it’s worth Love you like I’ve never been hurt before

So Thankful 03:48
lyrics
buy track
When I awaken from a scary dream And find you lying next to me I feel so peaceful, calm and so serene About the life ahead of me No more Christmases alone and blue Same with Valentine's and New Year's too I never, ever thought I'd see the day When every day's a holiday Oh I'm so happy that I met you I'm so thankful you are mine I don't know what I did so right to get you And it feels divine Oh sweet baby, baby you're the best You came along and slayed 'em, all the rest And I never, ever would have guessed I'd hit the jackpot big time in this life Oh I'm so happy that I met you You make it so fun to be alive And I'm so grateful that I get you Until the end of time How I love it that you love romance You love to kiss and smooch, make love and dance And yes you're brave enough to take a chance 'Cause you know what's important in the end And when you hold me tight so close and true Oh I'm so thankful that you love me too 'Cause you're the best thing that I ever knew Forever you will be my favorite friend Oh I'm so happy that I met you I'm so thankful you are mine And I'm so grateful that I get you You make me shine I'm so happy that I met you I'm so thankful you are mine

No Expectations 04:36
lyrics
buy track
Take me to the station And put me on a train ‘Cause I got no expectation To ever pass through here again Once I was a rich girl But now I am so poor But never in my sweet short life Have I felt like this before My heart is like a diamond But I throw my pearls at swine And as I watched you leaving me You packed my peace of mind Our love was like the water That splashes on the stone Our love is like our music, babe It’s here, and then it’s gone So take me to the airport And put me on a plane ‘Cause I got no expectations Lord To pass through here again To ever pass through here again To pass through here again

Feel It Coming 04:36
lyrics
buy track
That’s it, I’m all better now Spit up the last of what made me hurt And I feel light as a feather now At last I finally know my worth Thought I’d never learn to be alone Open all my windows wide Turn the ringer off the phone Light my orange candles every night And I’m wishing on a new moon Something better’s coming It’s coming soon I feel it coming, I feel it coming, I feel it coming I close my eyes up on the high, high dive Stretch my arms up to the sky Endless water lies deep below But somewhere in the air I’ll learn to fly And I’m wishing on a new moon Something better’s coming It’s coming soon I feel it coming, I feel it coming, I feel it coming It’s so easy to complain But it’ll make you insane That same routine The impulse to be mean But the grass is oh so green After winter rain And I feel it coming, I feel it coming, I feel it coming I feel it coming, I feel it coming, I feel it coming
