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

Chasing Castles
04:32

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
03:19
|

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

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

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

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

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…

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

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
