An Answer From Tabatha
Tabatha
sits in the corner now
No one
will listen at all
The man
from the moon is about to call
And she’s
just a whisper away
Twentieth
century news today
Every soul
out there is waiting for the...
Lights to
start falling down from the sky
God to
start talking to you & I
Maybe we
all should just try an answer from Tabatha
An answer
from...
Tabatha
lingers outside the door
No one is
wondering what for
Voices are
echoing in the hall
Nobody
hears them
They’re
waiting for the...
Tabatha
blows all the candles out
And
counts all the lines in her face
Twenty
first century news today
Every soul
out there’s still waiting for the...
Sister
Words & Music
by Jessie Haynes
Someone
said that they’d be coming
She never
knew that she’d be leaving
She’s
gonna fly high today
You can
see it in her eyes today
She always
knew the time for lying
She never
knew that she’d be dying
She’s
gonna fly high today
You can
see it in her eyes today
Mama’s in
the other room
The pipe’s
on the bed
All the
kids are out somewhere
The babies
been fed
Visions of
another life dance in sister’s head
She
thought someone said let’s go
Mom never
meant to be so heartless
She just
slipped down into her darkness
All the
names that she’d been calling
Never came
when she was falling
One more
time she lets him take her
I’ll close
my eyes until it’s over
She’s
gonna fly high today
You can
see it in her eyes today
She’s
gonna fly high, high, high
Let’s go
She
thought someone said let’s go
Dark Skies
Music by John
Brzoza
Lyrics by
Jessie Haynes & John Brzoza
Dark
skies, the rain is coming soon
It’s hard
to breathe when you walk in the room
So dark
eyes, tell me what you have to hide
Did you
know I have a secret, too?
Cause I
know what’s inside
Find the
end of the rainbow in your mind
Listen...the wind is on the rise
I feel at
home when I look in dark eyes
Listen, if
you need a place to hide
Crawl in
me, I’ll lock you up so tight
Cause I
know...
She once
hurt, she once heard, heard the truth & it hurt so bad
heard the
truth & it hurt so bad
Tell me
can you hear a distant cry?
When
you’re alone, do you still hear goodbyes?
Who said
if you love it set it free?
Dare I ask if you'll come
back to me?
Cause I
know...
She once
hurt
She
once heard
She
heard the
truth & it hurt so bad
Beyond the Wishing Well
Words & Music
by Jessie Haynes
Long ago & far away
A time forgotten by man
There lived a girl with hair of gold
Who dreamed of far away lands
All alone she would fantasize
& gaze into her pool
& throw a stone in the well of dreams
Hope that her wish would come true
Chorus
Wishing well, wishing well
Have you hope to tell
Do you see a place for me beyond this wishing well
On a lone enchanted hill
The sooth seer knew she would come
She warned the girl the price was high
Then tempted her til it was done
Raise my potion to your lips
Taste of your dreams if you dare
A broken cup on an old stone floor
surrounded by golden hair
Chorus
Bridge
Raise my potion to your lips
Taste of your dreams if you dare
Now she flies in the midnight skies
beyond the wishing well
Chorus plus:
Sooth seer, wish giver
Have you hope to tell
Set me free
Please take me
beyond this wishing .....
House in the Woods
Words & Music
by Jessie Haynes
It is not what it seems in a word
It’s a place that’s haunted all my
dreams
Like a star that’s so near yet so far
Always out of reach
My house in the woods
I’d take you there if I could
Lost my way but I’ll find it one day
And return to my house in the woods
Black lace curtains line the window
sills
Music rings in the hall
Meet me there where we don’t have a care
And we’ll drink wine in our house in the
woods
My house in the woods
I’d take you there if I could
Lost my way but I’ll find it one day
And we’ll drink wine in our house in the
woods
If you find it you may never want to
leave
It is not what it seems
Meet me there & we’ll let down our hair
And we’ll dance in our house in the
woods
My house in the woods
I’d take you there if I could
Lost my way but I’ll find it one day
And we’ll dance in our house in the
woods
And we’ll drink wine in our house in the
woods
I’ll return to the house
Forevermore
Words & Music
by Jessie Haynes
Just need some time to find my way
Can’t catch my breathe
I’m just not myself today
All the ships have sailed away
I looked & leapt but forgot my wings
Can’t catch hold of anything
I’m just not myself today
All the ships have sailed away
Am I just lying to myself?
Could I have been something else?
You know how it feels when it’s for real
and it’s coming back around
I pass the time in this race
Trying not to feel out of place
I’m just not myself today
All the ships have sailed away
Leaving me out on the shore
Wave farewell forevermore
I’m just not myself today
All the ships have sailed away
Leaving me out on the shore
Wave farewell forevermore
The Secret Life of Cinderella
Words & Music
by Jessie Haynes
Short
days, long weeks, leaks everywhere
Sun shines
without a care
Now now,
Cinderella loves everywhere
She is
cruel without a care
Life’s
emotion’s bittersweet
All alone
in her secret
Perfect,
perfect, perfect world
Tempt
yourself, Cinderella, life's everywhere
She is
cruel without a care
Hideaway,
gently dream, leaves in your hair
Fall with
them, soft through the air
Cinderella’s secret life
All alone
in her perfect
Perfect,
perfect, perfect
Perfect,
perfect, perfect world
Dark &
beautiful
sweetly
evil
Seduced by
lightning
Tempting
frightening
You &
Eye
Words & Music by Jessie Haynes &
Joshua Bley
I’ve seen Christmas come,
felt the love for everyone
I’ve forgiven others & myself
I’ve seen them lost & found &
I’ve seen them fall back down
& I’ve seen them stand up
once again
I’ve seen the worst there is,
then I’ve seen worse than I’ve seen
yet I’ve managed somehow to
get by
I’ve lost faith once or
twice, lost the way to paradise
then I’ve managed somehow to
believe
I’ve seen the soldier fall,
read his name up on the wall
Entered doors which led right
back to me
And so and so, did you know
we’ve seen the same things,
you & I
And so and so, did you know
we’re from the same place,
you & I
I’ve been cold & I’ve been
beat, watched the homeless on the street
Felt as though I’ve lived a
thousand lives
I’ve stood up for someone
else & I’ve learned how to love myself
I’ve clung to the moment many
times
I’ve been good & I’ve been
bad, appreciated all I had
Then tossed it carelessly
right from my hand
And so & so, did you know,
We’ve loved the same things you & I
And so & so, did you know,
We’ve feared the same things you & I
We’ve wanted the same things
you & I
We're from the same place you
& I
And so & so, did you know
And she can take you through
the dark
Dragon's Treasure
Words & Music by Jessie Haynes
It’s 4am &
I’m awake again
It seems
to me the lightning is my only friend
It’s been
a year since the dragon left me here
As I lay
amongst the things that he held dear
Now
I don’t know anything
I don’t
know anyone
Without
You
Now
I don’t go
anywhere
I don’t
have anyplace to run to
Through
the night I see your face within a dream
Across the
sea you reach & tell me to believe
I will
wait forever for my true love to return
Once
afraid but now I long to feel the fire burn
The garden
grows , an empty swing flows as the North wind blows
You set me
free, but now I see I’ve got no place to go
It’s 4AM &
I’m awake again
It seems
to me, the lightning is my only friend
It’s been
a year since the dragon left me here
As I lay
amongst the things that he held dear
Sweet Jezebel
Words & Music
by Jessie Haynes
Days are
filled with thoughts of nights
Fear of
loneliness too deep to survive
Hold it
all inside
Is
something changing inside you
Is your
heart saying go?
Afraid to
let him know
So stick
around take one more blow
Make a
wish & dare to dream
Take a
chance
Life is
all that it seems
Just turn
away, Jezebel
Leave the
promise where it fell
Turn away
& face a new dawn
Life’s so
much more than a man
If you
dare to make a stand
Leave the
promise
I’ll never
tell, sweet Jezebel
Every
second brings a choice
And you
can walk the edge
Choose to
leap, you might
But you’re
up for the fight my friend
A time for
courage & for truth
Human
destiny, freedom in love
And love,
we wanna see you free
So make a
wish, dare to dream
Life is
all that it seems
Turn away
& face a new dawn
Life’s so
much more than a man if you dare to make a stand
Leave the
promise, I’ll never tell
Sweet
Jezebel
Trust Me
Words & Music
by Jessie Haynes
If you
choose to go it’s no problem
You are
free to go any way the wind blows
But if you
decide to stay I would love you to
I will
lift you up & once I’ve won your trust
I’ll
control you
I will
hold you down
When no
escape is found I will smile at you honey and hold you
I can’t
tell you why but sometimes bluebirds die before they learn to fly
If you
choose to leave it’s no problem
I will
stand right here & watch you walk away now
But if you
decide to stay I would love you to
I will
build you up & once I’ve won your trust
I’ll
control you
I will
hold you down
When no
escape is found I will smile at you honey & hold you
I can’t
tell you why but sometimes bluebirds die before they learn to fly
So I will
hold you
Control
you
I’ll hold
you
Control
you
