at the touch of six strings

The leaves they are fallin’

And so is my heart

From up above

Down to the ground

I need a new start

My hands they keep shakin

When I think of you

What is this world - and my future

Comin’ to?

Will you show me the way,

If I reach out my hand?

So many miles between you heart and mine

To comprehend

Take me back - to when we use to play

I’ll sing you Patsy Cline if you sing me Hank

One thing I’ve learned - is that you can find your soul

At the touch of six strings - I’ll remember your love and what you gave to me.

I can still hear your voice

You told me to be kind

I see you just the way you use to be

In the shadows of my mind

LOVING HANDS

I fell in love with you - driving around listening to Van Morrison

I've fallen in love with you many times before

I've laid my feet over your shore - felt your beauty

sang my soul

Plucked metal strings and asked for more

You are my classroom - who I didn't know I could be

I've sang to you and you have sang right back to me

My brain has been electrified and I have cried

I have watched the wildflowers dance in the early morning light

Lake Sara - tucked back in the trees

Another world so heavenly

I found myself among loving hands

To be apart of love, peace, and understanding

I've danced around the fire - released my mind

and never tired

Met people the same as me - I've never felt so free

When we met I was so young - I have found a warm love

Then happenstance began - moonlight so bright shining

… In between voices singing I Shall Be Released again

Lake Sara - tucked back in the trees

Another world so heavenly

I found myself among loving hands

To be apart of love, peace, and understanding

Lonesome Mind

I've been trying to make up my mind

I don't know if I'm wrong or if I'm right

But it sure does take time

To heal the heart of a lonesome mind

I've been shattered and confused

Stuck around and been abused

Took my time and I've broken a couple hearts

But there's one thing I will say well you make me feel okay

And there ain't worry in this lonesome heart no more

More times than not

I have been alone

And in my mind I've dabbled in uncertainty

But when you walked in the room no more did I gloom

Now there's a smile where my shame used to be

I've been shattered and confused

Stuck around and been abused

Took my time and I've broken a couple hearts

But there's one thing I will say well you make me feel okay

And there ain't worry in this lonesome heart no more

Lyrics & Chords to tracks from "Searching"

Jeremiah

Intro- Dm/short C/Dm

(Chorus)

Dm

Jeremiah was an angel

C Dm

He led me with his finger tips

C Dm

He led me to the ocean

C G Dm

Where I nearly wept

Dm

He said I was a stranger

C Dm

My face showed no emotion

C Dm

Then he led me to a river

C G Dm

The faces, he did not show them

(Verse 1)

Dm

They covered me in satin

C Dm

I saw the shades of the sun

C Dm

And when I hit the water

C G Dm

The earth and I were one

Dm

I have felt the beauty

C Dm

of a thousand silhouettes

C Dm

And even though we’re strangers

C G Dm

I feel as though we’ve met

(Chorus)

look into my soul

G

I wish our lives could work out

C G

just the way we’ve planned

C

This promise I give you with my lips

G

You know I want to make it last

The time I have with you

I want you to know

C

That my feelings for you

G

Have done nothing but grow

D

I don’t want a broken heart,

C

but I want to mend yours back

G

to health

Am

This risk is worth taking honey

C G

I love you and nobody else

G

I listen to the music

C G

My heart beats right along

C

And a tear falls to the strumming

G

Of an empty lonesome song

D

All of your pain

C G

is pain I wanna feel

Am

I wanna carry you on my shoulders

C G

And we’ll discover what is real

G

The moon up in the sky

Is so very far away

Lessons you teach me that

G7

It can never be touched

C

But I have dreams

that could kill me, honey

G

So wish me luck

D C

Even though the stars have died

G

It’s you I’m lookin for

Am C

Even though the stars have all died

G

Your love means so much more

Am C

Even though the stars have all died

G

Your love means so much more

birch

C

We should take all that we had and

Em7

shoot it into space

F

So that the human race can see what

C

we have done

C Em7

Birch was a place where the night sky

F G C

could make you fall in love

C Em7

We asked about passion and how it could be felt

F C

That you can find it in the trees

C Em7

That road led to a horizon where the future was so much bigger

F G C

Uncertainty hung with every leaf

F C

Love will grow stronger and turn around to tell you

F G

That you’re better off just keepin to yourself

C Em7 F

That’s who you need to know before you can

G C

Be the best for somebody else

C Em7

Our minds would get lost in the shelter

F

of the stars seeing all the

C

worlds we’ll never get to know

C

Learning there can be joy in being

Em7

lucky to be apart of how the

F G C

universe perpetually flows

F C

The memory of those days surely won’t melt away

F

I’ll take them with me as whatever

G

comes along

C Em7

But I do miss the joy of that little girl and boy

F G C

So now I’ll go and find where I belong

F C

Love will grow stronger and turn around to tell you

F G

that you’re better off just keepin to yourself

C Em7 F

That’s who you need to know before you can

G C

give the best to someone else

live on without

Capo 2

(Chorus)

G C

In an outcry we’ll travel and lose all direction

G D7

Hold onto something we can never hold

G C

Maybe it’s better to live on without

G D7 G

And live in places that are only cold

G C

Live only in searching for something that shines

G D7

Some kind of meaning of life in our love

G C

There are so many days left to live

G D7 C G C G

I’m only looking for a place to call home

G C G

I can’t forget that I still hold a heart in chains

D7

In place of my own

G C

So I’ll live on without my soul being soothed

G D7 C G C G

And I’ll travel the world on my own

(repeat intro on G chord)

Bm C G

We’ll live in caves, never talk or smile

D7

only look up at the stars

Bm C G

And miss the direction our lives would have led

D7 C G C G

But the distance to run was too far

(Chorus)

lost girl blues

Searching

G

Set me down upon a hillside

Breathe into me the fresh air

C

Part rain clouds and handle sunshine

G

Listen to me there

G

Storms keep creeping up to haunt me

Oh what meaning will I find

C

Lonely lost sense of direction

G

Will I travel my whole life blind

G

Whistling around my shoulder

Thoughts of pure joy speak to me

C

And I say “Oh please tell me where to find you”

G

Who will I be? Can I be free?

Days have led me to believe

That I’ll never understand what I’ve been told

But to be kind to others and they’ll teach you

How to see a place that’s not so cold

Ooh oo hoo hoo

(Chorus)

Listen, listen, listen to me there, listen to me there

La da da la la la da la da la da

G

Ooh oo hoo hoo

Intro - Am/C/G/D

(Chorus)

Am C

When I was a girl, I couldn’t say no

G D

And I had to find my way out of the snow

Am C

When I was a girl, I had a storm over my head

G D

I couldn’t seem to ever let my feelings show

Am

And I loved too much and too hard all at once

C G D

And I hurt to see anyone go, anyone go

Am C

Why did I waste all of my time tellin lies

G D

Why did I hurt you, so many times

Am C

I wanna talk to myself and I wanna

G

Draw back a curtain in my own mind

D

I wish I hadn’t been so blind

Am C

I want your love close to mine

G

Want you all the same and I’ve been searchin

D Am

for my own light in the darkness

C G D

Truth is the only thing that can help us

Am

Its the only thing that can save you from your darkest dreams

C

And it’s love that’ll set you free

G D

It’s the stars above that are guiding you on your way

Am C

What I’m trying to say

G D Am

Is I wish I could stay (wish I could stay)

(Chorus)

Was I wrong

(Chorus)

G Am

I need someone to tell me I’m alright

G

It’s so hard to tell just from lookin in my eyes

Am

That I find peace and comfort under the love of a good man

G

And I do the best I can to not feel alone

G

When you’re healing your heart two times over

Am

Tryin to find warmth, when it just keeps getting colder

Am

Tryin to find a piece of mind

G

And with time come sweet direction

G

Was it wrong to be scared of leaving?

Am

Can I just go and respect your grievin?

Was I wrong to know

G

You’d be better off with me gone?
