Come Back to Me

When are you gonna come back to me
I mean, really come back
No not like it used to be
Need a new plan of attack

What about that deal we made
Are you having second thoughts
It seemed like such a fair trade
And now maybe it’s not

Save your breath if you just want to blame
Nothing to gain if we never get past the past

Are you gonna come back to me
Yeah, I mean all the way
No more of this wait and see
Just a go or a stay

You seem so far away these days
though you’re sittin’ right there
Can’t cut through the thick blue haze
No matter how hard you stare

Save your breath if you just want to blame
Nothing to gain if we never get past the past
At last

Baby when come back to  me
Leave the darkness behind
Then maybe we just might see
What we’re hoping to find

Hey when you come back to me
Then I’ll know that it’s true
It’s gotta be my destiny
Yeah, to come back to you

I’ll come back to you

Sister

Autumn morning
Nature’s kaleidoscope surrounds you
Leaves like warnings
Flashing
Falling down around you

Be strong sister
Be strong sister

Shadows shifting
Your fears fading in the fall light
Sorrow lifting
Listen
I know you’ll be alright

Be strong sister
Be strong sister

Bad luck and heartache have been your best friends
Leave them to lie in the dust
Pick up the parts of you starting to mend
Weave them together and trust

Walking, breathing
Each step closer to the center
Knowing healing
Only happens when you let it

Be strong sister
Be strong sister

South     

I wanna go where the road turns south
I wanna savor salt in my mouth
Turn my back on this chilly wind
I wanna go where the road turns south

I wanna lie on sun-baked sand
With the ransom in my hand
Adios, I play to win
I wanna lie on sun baked sand

Don’t weigh me down with bags of sorrow
I’m packing light with no regrets

I guess I took you by surprise
By that clueless look in your eyes
You must have thought I’d never go
I guess I took you by surprise

Those fists of fury will never find me
Who will you burn with your tongue of fire?

You can say I done you wrong
You can sing your sorry song
Well la dee dah
You got the last word
You can say I done you wrong

I’m gonna go where the road turns south
Savor salt, sweet in my mouth
La dee dah
La la dee dah
Ooh…..
