Should Destiny and Doom Collide The Market square was buzzing when she caught his eye Clean took his breath away left him mesmerized She was selling sweet molasses pie it lingered in the air As light danced round like rose cut diamonds in her hair She shaded her lovely face from the high noon rays Her heart skipped a beat as she settled on his gaze Her Papa hovered near by completely unaware Love had found its way to her in that young man’s stare When the cupid calls When two lovers fall Fate doesn’t always unfold in kind Should destiny and doom collide He waited by the general store almost ‘til sunset The market peddlers packed up most already left Her Papa walked on by him to the Lonely Buck saloon Left his daughter at the stable with the wagon and the moon With her gelding Duke she waited wrapped in her best shawl The shy young man found her in the dusty stall The night flew by way faster than a dogwood arrow He knew she was the one and longed to be her hero When the cupid calls When two lovers fall Fate doesn’t always unfold in kind Should destiny and doom collide As the morning lit the blue the town fast asleep She knew in her heart they were meant to be With her hand over his she leaned in for their first kiss When a sharp searing pain came ripping through his ribs Papa did what a man does to protect his daughter No charges were laid not even manslaughter But the sentence to imprison him Papa realized Was the light he killed forever in his lovely Annie’s eyes No fate doesn’t always unfold in kind Should destiny and doom Should destiny and doom Should destiny and doom collide

The Saga of the Remorseless Mother Three came through the garden All in a dark shade of blue She smiled as she addressed them ‘Gentlemen how do you do’ And they lead her to the courtroom Then to a State cell on death row Came the day to meet her maker She was all ready to go She showed no remorse so the newspapers said Well what’s the point of sorry if you’d do it again As the preacher prayed for her A young man with her same eyes Walked along the silent hallway He’d come to say goodbye She greeted him tenderly The guards had never seen her cry As she finally told her story He understood for the first time She showed no remorse so the newspapers said Well what’s the point of sorry if you’d do it again The young man left the chambers And the mother he hardly knew With all his questions answered And new insight to the truth As a bright light hovered over And peace finally filled her veins She dreamt of her now grown son Thankful for the choice she made She showed no remorse so the newspapers said Well what’s the point of sorry if you’d do it again The son walked through the garden And the house where he was born Pulling off the dusty covers Not sure what he was looking for Found a picture of his father Relieved they didn’t look alike And he cried hard for his mama Protecting him that deadly night She showed no remorse so the newspapers said Well what’s the point of sorry if you’d do it again And the hills rose from the water The sun rose from the hills And a butterfly from the heavens Came to rest by him on the window sill

Vocals by Lauren Braddock Produced by Don Henry Music and Lyrics by Rhonda Pisanello His bloodshot tired eyes had paled I think his nose had grown some Might not recognize me now He only knew me young Didn’t open his door too wide to me Seemed smaller than he used to be And I’d heard through the family vine He drinks himself to sleep every night I tried to speak but I was choked Tears welling up in my throat Saw his brows tense so I blurt out Sorry sir must be the wrong house His familiar gaze shot to mine But just as fast a stranger’s eyes Step back in and shut the door Before I could say any more All the years suddenly disappear I’m 17 again My burning cheeks red As the handprints he once left Then the words come screaming back Selfish stupid ungrateful brat You’re just like your mother he always said And I didn’t know then what he meant When he called her ‘The Thing’ Funny how some words can Keep rippling I turn and glare at the shabby paint On the old white fence I‘d come to hate Kicked it in all those years ago A busted spirit and a busted toe That’s when I left that life behind Now as I leave it comes to mind Could take it out on the fence again But it wouldn’t help now like it didn’t help then As a kid I got mad but now it’s just exhausting How can he still have this fucking hold on me? Hold on me Then I remind myself why I’ve come Not for him but me all grown up Spin around take a deep breathe March back up that crumbling path With my head high and no shame I knock again then I wait And with true colours shining through That face I knew comes into view I stand and stare frozen in time Till that little girl stops shaking inside Then before I turn and walk away I finally find the words I came to say Dad, I forgive you

My Way Home V1 There was a time if I could’ve I would’ve Poured concrete into my every step As my heart made a trail, pieces hammered by hail They’d remind me to never forget Now the grass has grown up, round and over And the pain swept by wind on the run All the sad memories, just a small part of me Colour time like sea glass in the sun PC1 Doesn’t mean I wish things were different Doesn’t mean I’d change what went wrong C1 Finally found my way home through forgiveness I know I am right where I belong Reason lies in each footprint And I’m listening again to love songs V2 (½) If I spoke with the ghosts who once loved me Would their tears clear the clouds to the stars Might they leave me a sign to trust all in good time I will join them wherever they are PC2 Doesn’t mean I wish things were different Doesn’t mean I’d change what went wrong C2 Finally found my way home through forgiveness I know I am right where I belong Reason lies in each footprint And I’m listening again to love songs BRIDGE Framing pages and moving on There’s those that come and those that go And those who walk with me All woven into words of my own song C3 Finally found my way home through forgiveness I know I am right where I belong, I belong Reason lies in each footprint And I’m listening again to love songs I've finally found my way home.

Lone Wolf Howl The minute I was born seems like I been Running, dodging 'n breaking the law Right behind my brother in prison By ten kicked out of the house by Pa Sleeping off days hunger chewed my bones Robbing after dark out on the prowl Wild young stray no pack no home There's a sad story in a lone wolf howl Lone wolf howl Lone wolf howl In a midnight sky On a moonless night It’s a haunting sound Lone wolf howl The Lawman told me to turn around now Face the wall put my hands on my head He said it again but I weren’t a coward Took a big step toward him instead Lawman raised the barrel some higher I heard the screech of a mad barn owl Knew then I faced my final hour There's a brave story in a lone wolf howl Lone wolf howl Lone wolf howl In a midnight sky On a moonless night It’s a haunting sound Lone wolf howl First slug I took in the left shoulder Sang curses like my pa right then Next lead slid on between my ribcage Flash to my brother Paul dead in the pen Lawman why you shooting low ‘n dirty Sorry Ma, God can’t save me now Blood soakin' through the holes in my bluejeans End of a story in a lone wolf howl Lone wolf howl Lone wolf howl In a midnight sky On a moonless night It’s a haunting sound Lone wolf howl And Pa cracked open a cold one for me And Ma cried out a prayer and a scream And Angels sang hallelujah real sweet And I’m howling, howling Howling with the pack now wild ‘n free Lone wolf howl

I Want To Be That House Flowers up the path way Every colour under the sun Stone steps paint is fading From busy feet on the run Worn out welcome mat Has seen many friends stop by Shutters flung wide open You can smell that hot peach pie And when I walk past every single time I smile and think of all the reasons why I wanna be that house Where everybody loves everybody I wanna be that home Where sadness doesn’t last too long Laughter in the backyard, dancing in the kitchen, Just sit back and take it all in Where love runs deep and pours out loud I wanna be that house There’s a pile of boots and shoes Up against the back screen door There’s a trail of muddy paws All across the white tile floor Growth chart getting taller Marking everything that was Refrigerator magnets spell ‘Happy is as happy does’ Doesn’t matter what it’s made of wood, straw or brick As long as the foundation’s laid with love in it I wanna be that house Where everybody loves everybody I wanna be that home Where sadness doesn’t last too long Laughter in the backyard, dancing in the kitchen, Just sit back and take it all in Where love runs deep and pours out loud I wanna be that house I wanna be that house Saving up for it and I can hardly wait I’ll pour that love into my own place I wanna be that house Where everybody loves everybody I wanna be that home Where sadness doesn’t last too long Laughter in the backyard, dancing in the kitchen, Just sit back and take it all in Where love runs deep and pours out loud I wanna be that house I wanna be that house

When Love Is Through Lyrics and Music by Rhonda Pisanello V1 I was standing in the lineup at the movies When you walked through the front door I could see you chatting laughing and having a good time I couldn't help but wonder who it was you were talking to The way that you were smiling just like when you were mine PC1 You were the first I ever loved I swore you'd be the last Too young to know just how good it was God I treated you so bad C1 When love is through it doesn't turn around to take a look back For the one who ripped and tore its heart in two When love is through it doesn't hang around for an after party When love is through when love is through with you Whoa V2 Staring up at the silver screen having flashbacks We were running through the subway You were carrying your white shoes, a bouquet your other hand in mine It was three in the morning you were teasing couldn't wait to get home Naïve and barely breathing it was my very first time PC2 That was a night that will always be the core of who I am Hate myself more than ever now but why should you girl give a Damn… C2 When love is through it doesn't turn around to take a look back For the one who ripped and tore its heart in two When love is through it doesn't hang around for an after party When love is through with you, when love is through with you BRIDGE I broke your heart when I ran out I messed us up and for what it's worth I hope your life is always good it's all and more that you deserve C3 When love is through it doesn't turn around to take a look back For the one who ripped and tore its heart in two When love is through it doesn't hang around for an after party When love is through with you, ooh When love is through with you, When love is through with you, When love is through with you,

When You Lie Mark Zubek and Rhonda Pisanello V1 I watch you fix your messed up hair Your long dark lashes fight back tears You want to stay but it's time for you to go We said that we should just be friends But we both know it feels wrong to pretend It's getting tough to hide it when you're close Yeah I get these feelings took us by surprise Oh girl, I wonder if he'll see it in your eyes C2 Baby, when you lie, beside me and make the whole world go away When you lie, in my arms and tell me everything's okay Maybe if I don't open my eyes this won't ever have to end Oh baby, when, oh darlin' when you lie… V2 He asks you why you're not yourself these days And you worry if it shows on your face Does he ever hear you cry yourself to sleep at night? Oh, I thank God you keep coming back I won't ask you to leave him out of the blue like that I know you must be scared you'll ruin his life Oh no, but no matter what we do somebody's gonna' lose And it's killing me girl, to see it's killing you C2 Baby, when you lie, beside me and make the whole world go away When you lie, in my arms and tell me everything's okay Maybe if I don't open my eyes this won't ever have to end Oh baby, when, oh darlin' when you lie… BRIDGE How long will we keep hiding in these dim lit rooms, Or parking down the street in the middle of the afternoon, We’re gonna get caught under this Motel's neon sign And the truth’ll hurt even more when you lie……girl, when you lie…… C3 When you lie, beside me and make the whole world go away When you lie, in my arms and tell me everything's okay Maybe if I don't open my eyes this won't ever have to end Oh baby, when, oh darlin' when you lie… Maybe if I don't open my eyes this won't ever have to end Oh baby, when, oh darlin' when you lie…

AUTUMN LEAVES (J. Delaurier/R. Pisanello) I hear you standing on the steps, calling out my name Silent, I try not to move, so you’ll just go away If I answer you now it’ll be just like it always was before I imagine how you feel, as your footsteps fade But my love could never be enough if you don’t wanna change And I can't let you bring the mess you’ve made to my door, anymore I've lost count, of how many times I've bailed you out Like a twister we go round and round, broken pieces everywhere Like autumn leaves when they fall Our lives have scattered all directions Shattered by addiction That's stealing you from me Feels like time is running out And it’s all tumbling down Everything’s changing, everything’s fading Like autumn leaves when they fall All the days I drove around just to make sure you’re ok And the nights that I spend laying, praying God will keep you safe I hope someone somewhere says a little prayer for me, cuz I believe That someday, you'll know why I need to walk away Oh I guess that’s why they say to fear less means to love more Like autumn leaves when they fall Our lives have scattered all directions Shattered, by addiction That's stealing you from me Feels like time is running out And it’s all tumbling down Everything’s changing, everything’s fading Like autumn leaves when they fall Got to let you go, I know it’s time Got to let you fall, to let you fly... Like autumn leaves Like autumn leaves (ahh)

Am I Just Missing You V1 Bare feet on the soft sand sinking in Warm waters lap away where we've been A slice of lime singes my salty lips As bittersweet as your long goodbye kiss The seagull cries The sun whispers goodnight C1 You asked 'Are you going to wait for me, wait for me' I swore, 'Just as long as I still breath, I still breath' Am I wasting my time, missing the truth Or am I just missing you V2 Bedroom sheers billowing in the breeze Your sweet perfume lingers on our sheets Quiet melodies soothing me to sleep Lonely like a vessel drifting in a dream The seagull cries The moon whispers goodnight C2 You asked 'Are you going to wait for me, wait for me' I swore, 'Just as long as I still breath, I still breath' Am I wasting my time, missing the truth Or am I just missing you Or am I just missing you C3 You asked 'Are you going to wait for me?' I swore, 'Just as long as I still breath Am I wasting my time, missing the truth Or am I just missing you Or am I just missing you Or am I just missing you

Love Is Compromise V1 If ever I've been a thoughtless fool I guess it would have been last night If we could take back Those angry words Erase them all from our minds Would you trust me then? Lose the hurt in your eyes? Take back your goodbye? C1 Love is a broken wing soaring anyway The faith there’ll be another dawn It’s a lot more give and a lot less take When you admit that you’ve been wrong Love is Compromise V2 I would do most anything To find the best in us again Won’t let you down This time around We’ll drink the water that comes with the rain Move on past this pain Swallow all the pride Give this another try C2 Love is a broken wing soaring anyway The faith there’ll be another dawn It’s a lot more give and a lot less take When you admit that you’ve been wrong Love is Compromise BRIDGE Oh dance with me through our toughest times Find the spring in our winter skies Close our eyes Falling back Arms open wide C3 Love is a broken wing soaring anyway The faith there’ll be another dawn It’s a lot more give and a lot less take When you admit that you’ve been wrong Love, oh love is compromise
