GLOSSY PHOTOGRAPH music and lyrics by Jo Davidson Your eyes pull me in I'm drawn to your face This picture is set in a beautiful place near church bells surrounded by cobblestone streets We're forcing a smile in the summer... And my dress is wrinkled which you point out to me and why you wore that shirt is a mystery but we still look the part what a glamorous two We have it all or we look like we do Do we take a quick picture then be on our way Or unpack our longings determined to stay Do we fight back our fears with a tear or a laugh what will become of this glossy photograph I'm trying to decide which thorns I can bear because all lovers have them it's just a matter of where and they cut you so close right there by the bloom I'm praying this flower will open up soon Do we take a quick picture then be on our way Or unpack our longings determined to stay Do we fight back our fears with a tear or a laugh what will become of this glossy photograph It's edges are dotted with a few stains of tea but when has perfection set anyone free There've been wins there've been losses but who's keeping score I'll love you forever and then I'll love you even more More than a quick picture then off on our way I've unpacked my heart and I'm determined to stay whether facing my fears with a tear or a laugh I treasure and frame this photograph Oh it's more than some picture then off on our way I've unpacked my heart and I'm determined to stay whether facing my fears with a tear or a laugh I treasure and frame this glossy photograph. RED CRAYON music and lyrics by jo davidson I wanna paint you on my wall So we can always be together To feel you beating in my heart I wanna take my boat out on your river Here I'm mesmerized again You're a bold and ravishing red crayon Can I hold your color in my hand You're a bold and ravishing red crayon I wanna dance upon your canvas I wanna dance with you til dawn Until we close our eyes for sleeping I dream of you the whole day long Here I'm mesmerized again You're a bold and ravishing red crayon Can I hold your color in my hand You're a bold and ravishing red crayon You know just how to paint the shadows and you know just how to paint the light You feel every peak and valley You know just how to love me right here I'm mesmerized again You're a bold and ravishing red crayon Can i hold your color in my hand You're a bold and ravishing red crayon You're a bold and ravishing red crayon You're a bold and ravishing red crayon WRITING ON THE WALL music and lyrics by jo davidson Bring me back to the ground because i feel like I've been somewhere else and when you come around I don't feel like I'm really myself Baby it's insane how much i wanna kiss you When i can see the writing on the wall Desire's like the rain You can't stop it from flowing Even when you see the writing, the writing on the wall I don't have a solution and my feelings aren't tied in a bow in a neat little package they are messy, they're sloppy i know Baby it's insane how much i wanna kiss you when i can see the writing on the wall desire's like the rain you can't stop it from flowing even when you see the writing, the writing on the wall and i try to resist but my reasons all fade in your touch this could go nowhere fast so we're both holding back so much Baby it's insane how much I wanna kiss you when I can see the writing on the wall desire's like the rain you can't stop it from flowing even when you see the writing, the writing on the wall. BIRD IN THE SKY music and lyrics by Jo Davidson So chaotic are the events of these days words are not what they were yesterday shine a light and find a strength from inside out the window where i saw the world fall there's a bird on the rooftop by the brick wall spreads its wings and reaches up to the sky God i want to be that bird and fly til i feel free again thru the grief and tears we find our hope our strength to dream again All our voices make a quilt in the sky hope and sadness like a flag waving high and our tears could fill an ocean tonite God I want to be that bird and fly til I feel free again thru the grief and tears we find our hope our strength to dream again. SOMEWHERE IN BETWEEN music and lyrics by Jo Davidson I've hurt the way you hurt and I've been where you are standing now Your whole world feels so unsure And you're somewhere in between Today and yesterday Somewhere in Between the lines that you've drawn for your life You left the comfort of your home to find who you are when you are alone Out into your own wilderness And you're somewhere in between today and yesterday Somewhere in between the lines that you've drawn for your life your life MISERY Music and lyrics by Jo Davidson i started this fire hoping you would save me and in the happy ending oh you forgave me too bad life isn't always a fairy tale too bad life doesn't always end so well i choreographed the art of imperfection i wrote the book on how to drown in one's reflection pardon the cracks if you would see them as character that is, if it's in your heart to still love me would you have this dance with me oh would you dance with me think of all the happy times forget this misery i started to leave hoping you'd say don't go i wore my lipstick pretty dress put on a great show i love applause from the crowd but mostly i want yours i miss the way you use to look at me Would you have this dance with me oh would you dance with me think of all the happy times forget this misery. STOP music and lyric by Jo Davidson I have pictures of you in my head yes it's true I'll admit that they're nice but I'd better think twice before I jump head first trying to fill up this unfillable thirst it could change my whole life if I love you the night We both know We're on sinking sand We should Stop this while we can To myself I'll be true Try to give up this habit of you somehow break myself free 'cause there's much more at stake here for me We both know We're on sinking sand We should Stop this while we can ALL AROUND ME Music and lyrics by Jo Davidson In this world there's so much sadness So many things I don't understand I wish that you were here beside me I wish that I could hold your hand I've been in this room too long These four walls are closing in I think I’ll take a drive tonite I think I’ll let the fresh air in All around, All around me There are good things to look upon Its easy to get lost in the small things I forget about the bigger plan I don't always see my blessings But what you see depends on where you stand When the cup looks half empty and I've been in this room too long I go out for a drive tonite All around, all around me There are good things to look upon I don't wanna watch the evening news I don't wanna fill my head with the sorrow I don't want to spend this night Worrying about tomorrow All around, all around me, there are good things to look upon. TRAFALGAR SQUARE Music and lyrics by Jo Davidson Trafalgar Square is dressed in pigeons It's a grey day short of bliss They're running in circles They're fighting for crumbs When they'd rather have tea at The Ritz Trafalgar Square is dressed in pigeons It's a grey day short of bliss I'm running in circles I'm fighting for crumbs When I'd rather have tea at The Ritz GHOST TOWN music & lyrics by jo davidson I have cried enough tears to wash my dishes I have paced all the roads in my heart They're all dusty, abandoned and deserted How'd I come to this Ghost Town You were not one to show your true feelings And by that I guess I should've known When I knocked I was hoping you'd answer There was spiritually nobody home Oh these wells are out of water And the sun beats on my back No one's left to wear the memories But the beat up railroad track Well I've gambled enough to be nervous And I've lost enough bets to be dead Here I thought you were one in a million Someone should've examined my head When you told me my eyes were the bluest Of blue eyes you ever had seen I went right for you hook, line and sinker Altogether forgot they were green Oh these wells are out of water And the sun beats on my back No one's left to wear the memories But the beat up railroad track I could paint you like a picture If I had the will to care But to breathe your love I'm choking From the dust that's in the air There is only one light on the main street And there's really nobody around Well I thought you'd be like an old Western But you were only a Ghost Town ALWAYS FOR YOU music and lyrics by jo davidson I will always be here i will always be here always for you always for you others know in pieces but you know it all and your love is true your love is true if we're going up or down if our journeys lead us apart still you're right beside me as the beat of my heart I will always be here i will always be here always for you always for you you're the moon in my sky you're the sparkle in my eye you are my love you're my true love we're a landing place of safety where i can feel my joy and pain late at night we dream we all go safely insane but the colors are beautiful like a kaleidoscope on the sun I've had many lovers but I've loved only one I will always be here i will always be here always for you always for you always for you
