Moment

Some days it feels like I’m moving way too fast
The view out my window gets blurry
When the present fades into past
There’s no time to forget what we’re here for
Oh, I wanna stay just a little bit longer
Slow down
Long enough to take a polaroid picture
And wave it around
Until the moment is material
The streets are buzzing with a swarm of bodies
Turning every which way to stay moving
Is it really productivity?
Feels like everyone’s screaming for my attention
I wanna tune it out for a little bit longer
Can we slow down?
Long enough to take a polaroid picture
And wave it around
Until the moment is material

Lonely Walls
04:45
|
|||
|
I’m still waiting for the sun to shine
For the world to return to something I recognize
I’ve been patient
How much more can we take?
The bend will surely break, we’re crumbling
I’m not asking for anything crazy
I just wanna be with the one that I love
These arms are hungry to hold another heartbeat
Beating on between lonely walls
Raindrops knocking on that springtime door
And the trees are waking up just like they did before
But it’s not the same, I’m still trying to hang on
Wondering how we grew so strong through the darkest year
I’m not asking for anything crazy
I just wanna be with the one that I love
These arms are hungry to hold another heartbeat
Beating on between lonely walls

Everything I Wanted
03:41
|
|||
|
Didn’t mean to keep you so late when we got talking in the kitchen
Quarter to one, comparing notes on how we make a living
You said money is fine, but I can’t buy time to think it over
Cause it don’t add up, always putting off the best until you’re older
Ooooh, I’ve got everything I wanted
Ooooh, cause I got what I need
Rolling up my sleeves, cause I look around and everything is broken
And I’m not here just to sit around and watch a slow erosion
you said “Money is time” but that dollar sign ain’t getting any younger
And I don’t need much, cause a little of our love can start a fire
Ooooh, I’ve got everything I wanted
Ooooh, cause I got what I need

Get On
03:21
|

|
Put off until tomorrow
What you can’t do today
Tomorrow comes and goes
While we’re just slumbering away
Can you look yourself in the eyes
Through an obvious disguise
You’re not fooling me or fooling time
Can’t stop those hands from turning
So when will you get on with your life
Tell me your interpretation
Half empty or half full?
What’s the use in crying
When it’s out of your control
Now you’re walking on the other side
Left your happiness behind
You’re not fooling me or fooling time
Can’t stop those hands from turning
So when will you get on with your life

Carry the Weight
03:08
|
|||
|
You don’t have to worry
About a thing
When the world starts getting heavy
I’ll be ready to help you carry the weight
Hello, I just wanted to check in
Would you pick up the phone?
I’ll be over with open arms
You’re lonely but you’re not alone
Let’s go down where the rivers meet
Catch your breath for a spell
Close your eyes and see what might arise
We can make time stand still
I see you flickering
We can fuel that flame again
You don’t have to worry
About a thing
When the world starts getting heavy
I’ll be ready to help you carry the weight

Curious and Free
04:16
|
|||
|
I was seventeen
Curious and free
Dancing alone to the radio
Were those simpler times
Leave landlock behind
Set out wandering for the coast
Wash the dust off in the sea
Climb the tallest tree
With no one and nothing to fear
Don’t have to know just where we’re going
As long as the tide keeps pulling in
Highway through the hills to the horizon
I wanna feel that free again
The harder that I try
The faster time slips by
And I can’t seem to steady my hands
For the task that lies ahead
Fighting gravity again
I keep stumbling on the line
Bathe in the moonlight
North Star above
Reaching to find some solid ground

Give Me a Reason
04:38
|
|||
|
When the last leaf has fallen without a sound
I see your breath every time you speak out
The sky opens up, a twinkling of night
As we hang in the balance of the dark and the light
Can you give me a reason to believe
My heart’s on the wire skipping beats
I’m not the same person you touched yesterday
We’re ushering in a season of change
Crossing the threshold, raise your head high
Be not afraid of the darkness, or the light
Can you give me a reason to believe
My heart’s on the wire skipping beats
When last leaf has fallen without a sound
I let you in every time I breathe out

Electricity
03:51
|
|||
|
Steady pulse
Current flows
When you reach out
Flash of red
I lose my head
And it all goes up
Like an SOS
Can you hear me over the static humming
Electricity will it keep us running
Can you hear me over the static humming
Electricity was it all for nothing
Self-destruct
I’ll chance my luck
On a rainy day
Rewind, begin
Who really wins
When it all goes up
Like an SOS

What You Wanna Hear
03:24
|
|||
|
Can we skip the part where we start yelling
Like banshees on a bender all across the town
Another log thrown on the fire
Blaming all our ghosts that keep hanging ‘round
I’ll tell you what you wanna hear
Doesn’t mean that I’m insincere
Honestly I want to believe it
I’ll tell you what you wanna hear
Maybe I’m a little insecure
Honestly I’m playing your fool
Now you’re drifting up above the clouds
Throwing a cold shadow on the ground
Our differences, strangely similar
When we lay our armor down
I’ll tell you what you wanna hear
Doesn’t mean that I’m insincere
Honestly I want to believe it
I’ll tell you what you wanna hear
Maybe I’m a little insecure
Honestly I’m playing your fool

Fade
02:57
|

|
Last time I checked on your position
My compass followed you down to the east
You drifted away into the darkness
And radiated your light back to me
I bottled it up carefully for safe keeping
A reminder when I start to lose my way
Close my eyes and I still see you shining
Don’t let your fire fade
Decoded all our inhibitions
Emerging with a measure of new life
We shed our old skin with with full intention
Running just to make up for lost time

Valley Of Heart's Delight
by Margo Cilker
supported by 11 fans who also own “It All Goes Up”
This ain't Texas. This ain't Nashville. This is country that straddles the US and Canadian border. Its wide open, strong, and a little vulnerable, and in a lot of cases having a good ol' time. I love her feel.

A very clever songwriter and an album that bears many, many repeat listens. Worth the price for the Little Feat reference (in Tehachapi) alone, but it's her way with an image that sticks longest. "You left the building in a flurry / Had your boots on in the house."
