Freedom In The Fall

Amber leaves soften your sleeves as they fall
Stretch and breathe now you’re on the other side of the world
Hear the sound of your soul surviving
Forgive yourself it’ll start the heart reviving
You meet a man, a stranger with a silver fringe
Humming his happiness like a red house finch
His laughter soothes your longings and weak bones
He looks you in the eye to say you’re not alone
He showed you freedom in the fall (freedom in the fall)
Freedom is calling
When everything you know is breaking back home
There’s freedom in the fall (freedom in the fall)
Come into the light he said
Just laugh at the mess you made instead
Drop your guard
Open up
Let it go
You’re enough
Live like the greatest lover, feel freedom
He ran on wisdom as you climbed the rocky peaks
When you get home, it’s the company you’ll seek
How did you get this far while starving your brazen heart
Sometimes the people you fear are the ones to pick you up
He showed you freedom in the fall (freedom in the fall)
Freedom is calling
When everything you know is breaking back home
There’s freedom in the fall (freedom in the fall)
Freedom in the fall (freedom in the fall)

Walking For Water

Family of five under Africa’s sky
Warm coloured sunset and the deserts dry
Barren wells, empty holes, hot sand
Scorching the heart of every woman
Sweeping dust they sweat out labours of love
Praying for survival, a sign from above
If droplets of rain pitter patter on their land
Will it be enough to bring floods of freedom
They'll be walking
They’ll be walking for water tonight
Strong mothers use their hands
Use their feet until they are beaten
Proud fathers find a way to teach their children a little more than yesterday
They need food for their families and shoes for their feet
Milk for their babies and clean water
If they use their hands and they use their feet
They’ll walk again this week
They'll be walking (walking), walking for water
They'll be walking (walking), walking for water tonight

Laces and Lingerie

Give him laces and lingerie
Black rum and cabaret
Demons and foul play
Anything risqué
Give him anything just to play his games
Give him LSD and cocaine
Ice buckets of champagne
Needles for his veins
To stop him going insane
He’ll do anything just to fade away
We all have a vice
The trick’s to play nice
We all have a vice
You take the consequence when you roll that dice
We all have a vice
The trick is to play it nice
He’ll do anything just to get away
With laces and lingerie
He’ll take the panties off the chorus line
Lick necks splashed with wine
Hold her hips from behind
She may not be the first tonight
He’ll do anything for a woman’s spice
We all have a vice
The trick’s to play nice
We all have a vice
You take the consequence when you roll that dice
We all have a vice
The tricks to play nice
He’ll do anything just to get away
With laces and lingerie
Don’t leave a blackened trail, with your victim’s faces pale
Don’t give free reign to the ego, or hit someone when they’re low
You could leave a crooked mess, upon your victim’s chest
We all have a vice but play it nice

Words ruptured from my mouth
before I thought it through
I stood on your soul
Like a marching warrior
Now I've made my debut
As a fighter and a less than charming woman
My cherry face is over worn
These scarlet horns are my armour
You see, my heart's not made of garnet stone
But I can be a less than charming woman
My violent tongue can curse
like a thousand fools
It spills my energy
And leaves me empty
If I can train my tongue
then I will have plenty
My cherry face is over worn
These scarlet horns are my armour
See, my heart's not made of garnet stone
But I can be a less than charming woman
You deceived me when you crawled on my skin
Maybe you deserve to be a fallen king
But I'll keep concerned with what I've done
Because I can be a better woman, woman
My cherry face is over worn
These scarlet horns are my armour
See, my heart's not made of garnet stone
But I can be a less than charming woman

Russian Doll

Your russian doll is waiting in your busy bed
Her locks and legs entwined like grape vines
Her kiss will break your stare
You'll have your love affair
Just like you did with me
I know I'm in New York streets
Forgetting you and me
I'd rather be seas apart than watch you give your heart away
Now your skin sweats with hers and I'm not prepared, I'm not prepared
Now your skin sweats with hers and I'm not prepared, I'm not prepared
For the Russian doll in your bed
Your homeless heart was looking for love and lust
She played seducer and sunbird
Together you traced each others dreams, the ones that you and I themed
Then you laze in your garden just like you did with me
I know I'm in New York streets
Forgetting you and me
I'd rather be seas apart than watch you give your heart away
Now your skin sweats with hers and I'm not prepared, I'm not prepared
Now your skin sweats with hers and I'm not prepared, I'm not prepared
For the Russian doll in your bed
Won’t grieve anymore, seek or fall for the man who runs to
The hands of a doll, another soul he’ll lie to
I can save myself, now I will let go
Won’t grieve anymore, I’m free to restore my light to
Now your skin sweats with hers and I'm not prepared, I'm not prepared
Now your skin sweats with hers and I'm not prepared, I'm not prepared
For the Russian doll in your bed
