Trapeze 03:00
One little girl on the trapeze wishing there was a net Creeping and crawling across you know you could not bet One little girl on the trapeze wishing she was alone No audience in the background hoping that she’d fall down Like a marionette strings pulling her here and there 
Tying her to a chair Can she break free and float down the stairs 
 One little girl on the trapeze wishing there was a net Creeping up on that ladder filling with regret One little girl on the trapeze flying through the air Hoping and wishing that no-one can see she is scared 
 She’s got a burn inside but her feet can’t touch the ground Will she find her wings Before she falls down
 Once in awhile she floats with a smile And she hopes in her dreams That she won’t split at the seams One little girl on the trapeze wishing there was a net

She can see a castle from her kitchen window sill She dreams of lives now hidden in the shadows She watches the days gone by
 And all her memories drift by You can find a love in the woods The forest is too confined between all it's roots To look for love you must seek all that is wild The woods are calling you inside And we’re chasing castles across the land Wandering with open hearts taking another hand Finding comfort in those who wish to sing along And we’re hoping to find some more to sing our song Everyone’s a hunter looking for a kill A collector will take down a painting put another up until Casements, catacombs, a dark killing room A life broken down to pictures in a tomb Never a night when it’s dinner for one, there’s always someone there Home away from home, family meals and a whiskey to share But the meat is still on the stove and tomorrow’s a brand new day The earth takes another spin and we’re on to another place And we’re chasing castles across the land Wandering with open hearts taking another hand Finding comfort in those who wish to sing along And we’re hoping to find some more to sing our song Megalithic rocks turn to dust, wild horses run free 
Tanks may be abandoned, could they still shoot you and me
 Ancient places made of earth, rock and stone, the castles fall but cities grow
 Crossing borders at the blink of an eye, yellow fields stretching far and wide Where the earth takes the city back and the shrubs grow to the sky
 And the full moon shines brightest from a tower 200 meters high Chasing castles across the land Wandering with open hearts taking another hand Finding comfort in those who wish to sing along And we’re hoping to find some more to sing our song She can see a castle from her kitchen window sill…

Heroes and heartbreakers come on out Find the doorway, no don’t bother sitting down 
Heroes and heartbreakers, gather ‘round This world is changing so you better figure it out This world needs more peace and femininity A big infusion of love and a whole lot less greed If these heroes aren’t making this world a better place It’s time they move aside and get the hell out of our way 
Heroes and heartbreakers, can you ever really tell Which one saved you and which one flew you straight to hell We’re not looking for a prince to save the day This world’s worth changing and our girls will have a say It’s time to power up our Dollys and Michelles If our heroes can’t do it then our women will sure as Power up our girls, we don’t need a prince to save us Don our own capes and we’ll lead the way 
Heroes and heartbreakers, gather ‘round
 This world’s worth saving and our girls are going to show you how Power up our girls
 We’re going to save this world
 Power up our girls We’re going to save this world Power up our girls 
 Power, power up Power, power up Our girls

Awhile 02:33
It’s good to see you today There’s so much that I’d like to say But I’d rather just sit here with you for awhile And watch the clouds float by In a house on the hill we’re just fine As we look to the north drinking our whiskey and wine Outside it gets cold but in here Our hearts filled with love we hold dear So I’ll see you tomorrow again But if you fly away before then Your smile will encompass our hearts Whether you’re here or not The moon and the stars shine bright And I know I should turn out the lights Just one more glass of whiskey on ice Cause I’d like to just sit here with you for awhile

Polaroid pictures, faded memories Candid smiles, blurry dreams Polaroid pictures reveal slowly with the sun All your friends waiting, wanting to see when will it be done 
Snap click, snap click, wait 
Polaroid wishes, hand me down dreams Without the sunlight the grey may never fully show the scene Polaroid pictures capture faces in the streets Melting in the sunshine, fading your memories 
Snap click, snap click, wait Snap click, snap click, wait 
Imagine if you woke up every morning to a world of black and white And the colors only developed through the day Until at last full bloom in the night Snap click, snap click, wait
 Hold still, smile and shake Forgotten friendships, tucked in a shoebox under the bed The dark slowly fading the colors like the people in your head Families dancing, only sunlight can reveal New love and happy faces, shining bright colors what do they reveal Snap click, snap click, wait Snap click, snap click, wait 
Hold still, smile and shake Snap click, snap click, wait

Dance dance dance, dance ’til you’ve broken in two You’re like a worm worm worm, when you’re broken you’ll be something new And so you’ll dance dance dance, dance ’til you’ve fallen away Just clap your hands hands hands then you’ll find there is no easy way 
You can feel the fire consuming all of your pain 
Let it burn hotter ’til the embers of memories are all that remain Dance dance dance, dance ’til you’ve broken in two And then you’ll bloom bloom bloom like a flower in the dark that’s what you’ll do So you can dance dance dance, dance ’til you’re floating away Now clap your hands hands hands cause you know there is no way to stay 
Tomorrow brings you more than all those yesterdays
 It will bring those hopes and dreams that will dance your nights back into days Dance dance dance, dance ’til you’ve broken in two… And so you’ll dance dance dance, dance ’til you’ve broken in two You’re like a worm worm worm, when you’re broken you’ll be something new And so you’ll dance dance dance, dance ’til you’ve fallen away Now clap your hands hands hands cause you know there is no easy way And so you’ll dance dance dance, dance til you’ve broken in two And then you’ll bloom bloom bloom like a flower in the dark that’s what you’ll do And so you’ll dance dance dance, dance ’til you’re floating away Now clap your hands hands hands cause you know there is no way to stay

Sugar 03:22
Sweet like sugar, red like wine
 Let’s keep on dancing honey while we have the time 
 Sweet like sugar, red like wine
 We’ll keep on dancing lover til the end of time Summer night, music’s right So take my hand, please don’t let this end Sweet like sugar, red like wine 
Let’s keep on dancing honey while we have the time 
 Sweet like sugar, red like wine
 We’ll keep on dancing lover til the end of time Mmmm go slow, we don’t have to go Hold on tight, we’ve got all night Oh so sweet, my heart skips a beat Swing til dawn, while the band plays on and on and on
 Sweet like sugar, red like wine
 Let’s keep on dancing honey while we have the time 
Sweet like sugar, red like wine
 We’ll keep on dancing lover til the end of time Sway all night, hold me tight Fill my cup, until that morning sun comes up Sweet like sugar, red like wine 
Let’s keep on dancing honey while we have the time

Full Moon 03:43
There’s a full moon over my head
 There’s a full moon lying beneath my bed And I’m dreaming of you
 There’s a full moon shining bright There’s a full moon singing a lullaby There’s no getting lost when your light is full
 There’s a full moon over my head When I’m wondering where is my bed There’s a brilliant sky melting with stars Lighting my way There’s a full moon…

Home 03:29
Well it’s been such a long time and it’s good, so good to be home 
Feel like you’ve waited your whole life just to find, find your way home
Nestled in bones, cobwebs and dust like a snake shed those fears and wake up This merry go round of a world spins you out of your skin You may swim through the darkness, but the shadows lie deep within
 Just take a look around, it’s not the cities or the towns 
 But the people who love you that lift your feet off the ground Just down the road it’s close but still seems so far And soon you’ll know who you are and you’ll find you are Home, home, home… Wake up little bird and see that world is not broken Break out of your darkness and spread your wings high to the sky 
Look up little bird and see that the skies have opened up to bring, bring you Home, home, home… Just down the road it’s close but still seems so far And soon you’ll know who you are and you’ll find you are Home

about

Carrie Clark and the Lonesome Lovers Seattle, Washington

NW vocalist and songwriter Carrie Clark and her band The Lonesome Lovers draw from the broad palettes of Americana, folk, and rock to craft their own distinct flavor of modern pop honkey-tonk. Much like the Salish Sea which they call home, their new LP, Split At The Seams is expansive, just a touch rugged, and undeniably beautiful. ... more
