Lyrics~
I don't wanna see your face anymore
You took my love and then you left it at the door
You looked into my eyes and whispered sweet lovin' lies
And this is the reason why-
I don't wanna see your face, anymore.
And I don't wanna hear your voice anymore
You made promises you couldn't keep, and it made me sore
You sang with me, called me your sweet pea,
until I was truly yours-
So I don't wanna hear your voice, anymore.
You can say that it was all a big mistake
But that won't change the way I feel today
You will never understand, or have the guts to be my man
The only thing that we can do is walk away.
So I don't wanna feel your love anymore
It was just a game and I'm here to settle the score
You made me believe that you'd never leave,
now all I do is grieve-
So I don't wanna see your face,
And I don't wanna hear your voice,
And I don't wanna feel your love,
Anymore.

I've Gone Away

Lyrics~
I sat around the fire, under stars last night
The flames were a comfort, as the embers took flight
And one by one I threw them in, your letters, songs & poems
And I watched as your words went up, disappearing with the smoke
They say love is blind, and as far as I can tell
Nothing will last when you're drawing from an *empty* well
I trusted you without a doubt
Now I know only one way out
Just close the door, you don't have to shout,
'Cause I've gone away
I've gone away
You loaned me your shoulder, when I fell upon hard times
All I wanted was your friendship, but you tried to blur the lines
You were obsessed and self centered and always wanting more
And when I put my foot down, you'd have hurtful words in store
They say love is blind, and as far as I can tell
Nothing will last, when you're drawing from a *poisoned* well
I trusted you without a doubt
Now I know only one way out
Just close the door, you don't have to shout
'Cause I've gone away
I've gone away
*last chorus has *empty* well again.

Lyrics~
If I could just go back in time, to when we were pre-teens
I'd warn us of the troubles ahead, and maybe then we'd see
The seasons of our lives and the turning of the tides
Don't need to be fraught with what was handed down the line
Tell me now, tell me please
Brother can you see?
It was always up to us
to change our so-called destiny
Nothing's ever set in stone,
we don't have to take what we were thrown,
But that doesn't really matter now, does it?
We could've had it worse, yeah, somebody always does
There's no denying the truth of being shown so much love
But if I knew then what I surely know now,
I swear we'd have had a better life somehow
Tell me now, tell me please
Brother can you see?
It was always up to us
to change our so-called destiny
Nothing's ever set in stone,
we don't have to take what we were thrown,
But that doesn't really matter now, does it?
Grief has a way of storming in and tearin' us asunder
It's hard to resist the urge to let it pull you under
The deep dark blue waves of sorrow and regret
I know I can not stay here but I'm not over it yet
Tell me now, tell me please
Brother can you see?
It was always up to us
to change our so-called destiny
Nothing's ever set in stone,
we don't have to take what we were thrown,
But that doesn't really matter now, does it?
No it doesn't really matter now, does it?
It doesn't really matter now, does it?
Does it really matter now? Does it?
Brother....
Brother.....
Brother.....
Brother........

I look up and I see your light
Shining down on me tonight
And the question it always lingers
As I count on all my fingers
The wishes I have for you
How can they really come true?
Your light is but a memory
Past particles on trajectory
There you go again just shooting by
As you blaze a trail across the sky
You were here and now you're gone
Leaving me to ponder on
The wishes I have for you
How can they really come true?
Your light is but a memory
Past particles on trajectory
*From a body long gone
How can I depend upon?

I know a woman so soft and yet so strong
With the will to carry on, against all odds
She is guided by the earth, the air and the fire,
She believes water is life, and she inspires~oh yeah
Oh Sunni Leilani, weaves her ancient love story
As above, so below, her home is where her heart goes
A sweet earth angel who is one with Mauna Kea
Singin' justice for the people, hear her prayer
A starry eye'd night owl, lifting and creating
Never hesitating to show up for everyone she loves
Oh Sunni Leilani, weaves her ancient love story
As above, so below, her home is where her heart goes

Here To Stay

My friend, my dear, it's been one hell of a year
Our plans became fall leaves and blew away
Yet here we stand like the oaks, hand in hand
Stronger than we were just yesterday
And I see your growth, I share your hopes
I long to be in your company each day
Like a river deep and wide, rolling hills on the country side
My love for you is here to stay
Here to stay
We wept, we prayed, we lost loved ones along the way
Life as we knew it forever changed
Yet through it all, we answered the trumpet's call
It's always love that holds the most weight
And I see your growth, I share your hopes
I long to be in your company each day
Like a river deep and wide, rolling hills on the country side
My love for you is here to stay
Here to stay

Sing To Me

If lovin' had a sound, it would sing smooth and slow,
Like the way sugar melts in your mornin' cup of jo
And if passion had a sound, it would sing high and low
Like the way New Orleans sounds, with brass bands and Zydeco
Oh! Sing to me
I hear the melodies
From the bitter to the sweet
Makes me wanna tap my feet
Oh! Sing to me
I feel the melody
From the salty to the sour
Into the midnight hour
And if happiness had a sound, it would sing full of cheer,
Like the way a great hall sounds, with a soulful balladeer
And if wonder had a sound, it would sing far and near
Like a sky filled with stars at your favorite time of year
Oh! Sing to me
I hear the melodies
From the bitter to the sweet
Makes me wanna tap my feet
Oh! Sing to me
I feel the melody
From the salty to the sour
Into the midnight hour
