WHY NOT Lyrics:
These Steps Are not like any other
Each one Is just a little harder
One inch And then two
Slowly becomes A foot or few
Sweat runs Down your face
Your mind Plays silly games
One tale After another
Then the weight Leans harder and harder
Why not Keep climbing those steps
Why not Keep feeling that sweat
Why not face all your fears
BE BRAVE
Why not Say what you want
Why not Open your heart
Why not Let love shine in
Lost you along the way
You disappeared around the bend
Always got to be in front
Never stopping to Breath
Our desert air
So I’ll take that last Mile alone
The hardest one yet
Heart pounding against my chest
I will follow The wind of the crows
You can’t turn back now even if you tried
You’ve come too far -leave that road behind
Life has a way of throwing you back around
If you keep on fighting with what’s allowed
Why not Keep climbing those steps
Why not Keep feeling that sweat
Why not face all your fears
BE BRAVE
Why not Say what you want
Why not Open your heart
Why not Let love shine in
BE BRAVE

Your Heart Holds Me Here
04:17
|

Your heart holds me here
I saw the boughs laden today
With the first September snow
And all the while I thought of you
In August’s golden glow
And overhead the blackbirds fly
Towards lands I’ll never know
Each passing day I feel the pull
To pack my bags and go
But your heart holds me here
Like a sunbeam in my arms
And no matter when the wild wind beats the door
The storm ain’t gonna do me no harm
Cause your heart holds me here
With winter coming on
A miner takes the gold from the hill
the farmer ploughs the row
a lover goes a-courtin when
The springtime rivers flow
And even now when autumn’s fruit
Is freezing on the bough
You place your hands upon my neck
And lips upon my brow
And your heart holds me here
Like a sunbeam in my arms
And no matter when the wild wind beats the door
The storm ain’t gonna do me no harm
Cause your heart holds me here
With winter coming on
I said winter’s coming on
And when the snowdrift’s pilin up around the door
And the heat is comin on
I’ll thank God that your heart
Held me here

Road of Life

Road of Life
There was a time when
I was running fast for you
The clouds wee heavy
And the rain was hard
The clock keeps on ticking
Seconds become years
I close my eyes gently
And I’m already in tears
But if I had a chance
I would do it all over again
Do it all over again
You and me on this road
I would load up the hatchback
Head East on Highway 40
Do it all over again
You and me on this road of life
There was a time
That it was just you and I
And then all of a sudden
It was four of us
Birthday candles glowing
Grey hair is flowing
I take a deep breath
To fight off all the stress
But if I had a chance
I would do it all over again
Do it all over again
You and me on this road
I would load up the hatchback
Head East on Highway 40
Do it all over again
You and me on this road of life
You and Me (You and Me)
On this
on this road
There was a time
When we would sneak to the beach
And not it’s a walk
Around the neighborhood park
Parents growing older
Kids give cold shoulder
thirty -plus years
Working nine to five
But if I had a chance
I would do it all over again
Do it all over again
You and me on this road
I would load up the hatchback
Head East on Highway 40
Do it all over again
You and me on this road of life
You and me on this road of life

It Will Never Be the Same
After All is said & done
We’ll Just Lay there quite & stunned
It’s All Out in the open now…
It will never be the same (2x)
Ocean breeze & sandy feet
Nervous breaths smoke stained sheets
All out of excuses tonight..
We just gotta hold on tight
It Will Never be the Same
Our lonely paths crossing in vain
Wondering what’s Behind those eyes
Cloudy nights or shots of fire
The full moon shines & smiles so bright
The bonfire snaps & hisses its’ tongue
Dancing to the wine and drums…
Slowly inching closer as one (2x)
Coffee brewing & the morning sun
Hiding under the covers won’t fool anyone
What will become of us…
Good or bad it’s been so fun (2x)
It Will Never be the Same
Our lonely paths Crossing in vain
Wondering what’s Behind those eyes
Cloudy nights or shots of fire
Cloudy nights or shots of fire

SOMEDAYS
Somedays I don’t brush my hair
Somedays I don’t paint my toes
Somedays I don’t shave my legs
Most days I just go with the flow
My hips will move and sway
My thighs are smooth and strong
My brown skin is here to say
I’ve worked for these curves and there here to stay
And I am.. all….. woman
What you see might not matter to me
And I am.. not…. defined by your stupid little opinion your thinking of me
Don’t confuse me with emotional
Don’t put me in your little box
Don’t try to hold me down
Or I might just let you know what it’s all about
Cause I’m.. all ….woman
There’s so.. much more than what you see
I am... flyin free
so go.... on except me or just let me be
(spoken word)
I shouldn’t still have to provin
Jussssstfyin
Jus....t To be heard
Jus....t To be counted
Jus....t To be validated
I mean, C’mon
Hold your women up in your life
Don’t cut her DOWN just because you afraid of her strength
Hold your women UP
Because they will hold YOU up higher and higher than you could ever see
Let her rise

Let her free
Get over your insecurities.
Don’t push them on others just because you’re dealing with shit
We all deal with shit
I’m not trying to compromise with what you despise
I’m trying to be heard
I’m trying to be counted
Trying to be validated
We are your sisters, your mothers, your daughters, your aunties, your friends, your lovers, your bandmates
So when you find yourself judgin and shovin your ideas down our throats on what you think we should be ... to try and put us in your little box, just stop!

Its Coming
03:58

It’s Coming
I never said that I’d be faithful
I never said that I’d be true to you
I only promised you this moment
But now I’m wondering what I got myself in to
We never meant to be together
We never meant to go and paint this town
And every time I try to leave you
Well the city limit sign’ll see my mind just a turning round
Well it seemed so right when I was a child
To take this match and light it
But you never did know when the fire would go
And burn it down
From the very first time I felt so wild
You know I tried to fight it
But I never have been the type to know
How to turn it down
Baby it’s coming
Like a full moon light on a summertime night
It’s coming
And I’m helpless in your arms
Baby it’s coming
And I need your love
To cool me down
And keep me from harm . . .
People always get to talking
If they see a good thing you know they got to tear it down
You and me, we got something
Keeps my feet . . on . . . the ground
Keeps me hang . . . ing . . . around
Chorus
Baby it’s coming
Like a full moon light on a summertime night
It’s coming
And I’m helpless in your arms
Baby it’s coming
And I need your love
To cool me down
And keep me around
Cause you’re the one (Craig only)
Outro Chorus (ad lib):
Baby it’s coming
Ya..Ya...Ya...
It’s coming
Every Single Night I wait for the Dream It’s Coming
Baby It’s coming
Come on Down Bring it to.. Me Baby
To cool me down
Baby it’s coming
Bring it on Down & can’t wait to see you baby
Baby It’s coming
Bring it on Down & you know that I need to be cooled down
Baby It’s coming
Bring it on Down cause you know that I need ya
To cool me down
Cause you’re the one

Whisky & Wine
I may have had too much, wine tonight
Cause I finding I am, I’m not alright
Cause when you slip into my mind
I can’t stop wanting….you
I may just need, another whiskey
To shake it off from this old soul
Cause I am known be a little frisky
I’m wanting, you all for my own
Is it Whiskey & Wine
Or Wine then Whiskey
This could be the time
To call it….. a night
To say goodnight
And wish you sweet dreams
But not before More whiskey & Wine ….. for me
It appears to my dismay, We have run out
The wines gone away, no more is about
Now on the hunt, for that little green bottle
That sooths the throat, & shoves me full throttle
My fear is true, the green bottle’s gone too
What’s is a girl to do, now the fun is through
I guess its time, to say good night
No more whiskey and wine, for me
Is it Whiskey & Wine
Or Wine then Whiskey
This could be the time
To call it…. a night
To say goodnight
And wish you sweet dreams
But not before More whiskey & Wine ….. for me
Why oh why
Do you sooth my mind
Linger you do so gracefully and smooth
When its time
For more whiskey & Wine
You brighten my days
And most nights too
Is it Whiskey & Wine
Or Wine then Whiskey
This could be the time
To call it a night
To say goodnight
And wish you sweet dreams
But not before More whiskey & Wine ….. for me
Is it Whiskey & Wine
Or Wine then Whiskey
This could be the time
To call it a night
To say goodbye
And wish you sweet dreams
But not before more whiskey & Wine …… for me
But not before more whiskey & Wine …… for me

Manzanita Bee Lyrics:
Manzanita Bee
Your buzzing calls me
Mahogany temps me to touch
White lanterns lure me
Bloom in your haven
In manzanita barrens
You steal my nectar
Bypassing the flower
Little Apple
Honey scent
Pollinate
As you went
Take what I give
To life and you
Breathe in me
I breathe in you
Do you follow me
Manzanita bee
Come dance in the winter sun
As spring is soon to come
Don’t forget me
Manzanita bee
Our time has been fun
But i will return
Little Apple
Honey scent
Pollinate
As you went
Take what I give
To life and you
Breathe in me
I breathe in you
Our time is brief
So much to do
The flower invites me
My honey bee
Our time is brief
So much to do
The flower invites me
Manzanita bee
Manzanita Bee
Your buzzing calls me
Mahogany temps me to touch
White lanterns lure me
Bloom in your haven
In manzanita barrens
You steal my nectar
Bypassing the flower
Little Apple
Honey scent
Pollinate
As you went
Take what I give
To life and you
Breathe in me
I breathe in you
man…., za……. ni.... …ta……..bee..

Juniper redolence Lyrics:
Juniper redolence, you linger on
Wild wind essence, long after you’re gone
Your warm echoes brush my earlobes
Calling, haunting in desert willows
It was there – yaquitepec (YAKeete-PECK)
A top Ghost Mountain, where you kept
Adobe walls arched doorways
Imagine what life would be in those days
I close my eyes
Envision your life
Family of five
Just trying to survive
House of the sun
Softly scamper souls that run
Around the rocky peaks
Playing hide and seek
I climb and climb wondering what I might find
Wishing to move back in time
Careful to not disturb grounded feet
As I allow my mind to retreat
Courageous Laguna
You’re in my sight
Julian peaks just off to the right
Surrounded by mountain peaks
My heart and soul.. you will keep
I close my eyes
Envision your life
Family of five
Just trying to survive
House of the sun
Softly scamper souls that run
Around the rocky peaks
Playing hide and seek
As the sun cools and voices hush
We will soon come upon dusk
We will drive the bend and say goodbye
Until we return for another time

OCOTILLO BLOSSOM Lyrics:
Ocotillo blossom in coyote canyon
humming bird sip your nectar
Orange of fire that surely calls them
Pulling you closer to the earth
She says, it mine and i wont share
For this sweetness that fills the air
Belongs to me and don’t you dare
Take the ocotillo blossom from me
But its you that calls to me
Coyote (coyote)
Canyon so vast and free
Coyote (coyote)
So pure, so sweet
Hummingbirds (treat)
Oh how you call to me
Ocotillo (blossoms)
From Sandy soil and naked hills
In winter, you birth your chuparosa
Canyons call, wind that fills
That coyote canyon to hold you
In lower willows a bird cools his heals
In the creek out of the blazing heat
Mourning doves and quails scratch
Looking for some seeds to eat
But its you that calls to me
Coyote (coyote)
Canyon so vast and free
Coyote (coyote)
So pure, so sweet
Hummingbirds (treat)
Oh how you call to me
Ocotillo (blossoms)
Howl in the night
Sing to me
Under the moon.... light
When morning comes
And your long gone
My ocotillo blossom will rise
But its you that calls to me
Coyote (coyote)
Canyon so vast and free
Coyote (coyote)
So pure, so sweet
Hummingbirds (treat)
Oh how you call to me
Ocotillo (blossoms)
Oh how you call to me
Ocotillo (blossoms)

Waiting for me
Feel you
Calling me

Hush

Cold winter chill... on my face

Winter Wind

Winter Wind
Hearing the sound of the screen door slam
Taillights bleed into black
Clock on the wall says its two AM
And I doubt you’re coming back
I sit in my chair by the table side
Howling breath all around
Fingers of cold come creeping in
Surrounded by your sound
Just when I feel that my
Heart cannot be broken again
You come on home with your haunted eyes
And the sound . . . of a winter wind
Fence line runs by the highway’s edge
Trees are dark as night
Snow blows over the road until
My pathway drifts out of sight
Just when I feel that my
Heart cannot be broken again
You come on home with your haunted eyes
And the sound . . . of a winter wind
Blowin me cold whenever I’m warm
Breaking off branches in your storm
Pickin me up and then dropping me down
Leaving me so I ne . . . . .ver know
Blowin me cold whenever I’m warm
Breaking off branches in your storm
Pickin me up and then dropping me down
Leaving me so I ne . . . . .ver know
