If I say this is the end
Please believe me
For I have not lied to you yet
For I have not lied to you yet
With a heavy heart
I will ask you to please
Leave me alone
I’m so tired
& the baby needs me now
When you have left
I will feed the cat and go up the stairs
I will sit on the bathtub, and brush my hair
I will sew my dress, so they will not see
The woman you loved
She’s tired
The woman you loved
She’s tired
The woman you loved
She's tired

Spanish Moss

I saw my lover there
Tall, tan, man of curly hair
Spanish moss hangs in Spanish air
Madness is a game
I call a different name
Love, is what I say today
I love you so much
I may love you too much
For if you’d leave
I’d hang myself
In Spanish moss
I saw my lover’s stare
Blue, black, and everywhere
Spanish moss hangs in the cold, cold air
No, I haven’t a clue
Why men do what they do
Never mind them
it’s just you
I love
But then again, I’m mad
For if you’d love me back
I’d still hang myself
In the Spanish Moss

Why you make me feel
Like I’m a fool to cry
Why shouldn’t I?
When the world don’t shine so bright
I used to smile so prettily
I played the part
Truthfully, I felt awful inside
The world was never mine
Sadness has bed me
Sadness has wed me
Sadness forget me
But how could I ever let go?
Sadness always knows
I don’t wish to die
Just let me cry
For a world that don’t shine bright

Can I Come Home To You?
01:56

Can I come home to you?
I’ve been lonely and confused
Just why you’re over there?
When I’m your woman in a little house
Much too big for me
I’d rather I be home with you
Where we could simply be
But I know that I’ve been bad
I’m unfit to be your wife
I know I make you sad
With every tear that falls from your eyes
My beloved
Tomorrow is a day anew
Maybe I can show you
That I can pick the flowers too
The sweetest pluck of your blues
But truly this, I never meant to do
All I wanted was to come home to you

Old Spells

When my morning chores are done
Maybe I think of you then
But I won’t tell a soul
For if I do
Life may take me from you
Funny I find
These old spells of mine
On the blackest day
and darkest night you’ll say,
“Lana dear, I love you, no matter wrong or right”
How funny I find
These old spells of mine

Depression Song
06:27
|
|

Help did not arrive in my last hour
I lost all time
My loneliness clambers on walls
Help did not come for me at all
My heart does not laugh
No more
In spring
It only cries
In winter too
In summer too
Oh what have I done to my life?
And can you accept to see me go?
If only, if only for you’ll know
That I have taken my sadness
And killed it for good
I was once young
Did I ask for too much?
After rain, there came song
After song, there came light
After light, the world was singing
Now I only sit
And lose the time
In the emptiness of life and what was mine
It is here I do consider
To end my life
But then there is you my love
And for you
a reason to endure
Beautiful man
How you gave me your time
Never robbing me of mine
And how little I gave you in return
Our love will burn
I will take and destroy
What I can of myself
It’s my right
What little I have in this world
Let it be this
Let it be this
Help did not arrive
In my last hour
I lost all time
My loneliness
Clambers on walls
Help did not come
For me at all

Remember The Day

Remember the day
We met in the summer
Oh, I led you in
To the house for supper
Typewriter in the kitchen
You rang & I sang
We shared a bed on top a ladder
I rest my head on top your chest
While morning was brought by the sun
Little graves
we sat in the churchyard
Holding your hand
across Southern land
Our love like a spell
You cast, and I dwelled
We shared a bench under a green Alder
I rest my head upon your shoulder
While noon said goodbye with the moon
We said our part
Outside your red car
You call me wife
I’ll be yours for life
Then one kiss on the cheek
You left & I weeped
Though we are miles away
I’ll always remember the day

When I Loved You
02:54

When I loved you
I loved life
And no rain
Could have made me stay inside
While you were hard at work
I was working along by your side
When I loved you
I loved the summer
The way it made me think to change
My soul was grey
But I wished it emerald green
& I have to dream
We’ll meet again
My heart,
My sweetest friend
In this giant world
Life was hard but kind
For I had you
And no rain
Could have made me stay inside
While you were hard at work
I was yours till life endured
For when I loved you
I loved life

The Gift of Day
03:40
|
|

Today I was given
The gift of day
But spent it in
the troubles of yesterday
Gone away
Gone away
Oh my day
Today I awoke to
The sound of my heart
It howled
And it begged
To be let from the dark
I wish I was a sailor
And could sail the high seas
Surrender to the waves
That crash upon me
Gone away
Gone away
All my days
Today I was given
The gift of day
I hung a noose around
Tomorrows pain
A gift I did not ask
Nor deserve
For my wrongs
A gift that was spent
In sorrow’s song
Gone away,
Gone away,
The gift of day

Strange Moods
02:12

A strange mood was a-coming
So I scrubbed the walls right off today
A strange mood was a-knocking
So I sold my favorite guitar away
A strange mood
What I wouldn’t do
To give my strange moods to
someone much stronger then me
I know I
Have lost you 1000 times
Due to words I don’t remember
Ever crossing my mind
But a strange mood keeps me laughing
So I went outside to drink the rain
A strange mood keeps me rolling
So I hit myself and I felt no pain
Oh a strange mood
What I wouldn’t do
To give my strange moods
All away

Is this THE perfect indie pop album?Like Liz Phair fronting The Cardigans, Kate Davis has both a whip-smart lyrical touch and songwriting chops that only a jazz head could actually pull off. The songs twist and wind, the chords constantly surprise, and while the production is big budget, the vibe is low-key honesty - seriously, it’s the perfect combination. If there was any justice in the music biz world, Kate Davis would go stratospheric. Incredible album.
