WILL YOU STILL LOVE ME?

THE LEMON TREE

DREAMCATCHER

WAKE UP

GOLD

WILL YOU STILL LOVE ME?

Will You still love me in two years time?

When I'm broke down to the bone.

Working in fashion as a checkout girl,

Still living in my parents home.

Oh, I've been searching for a light in the dark,

With nowhere I can call home.

Finding that there's love in my heart,

And a place where I belong.

So, talk to me like lovers do,

I've never found anyone quite like you.

Stay with me and save my sanity,

But will you still love me?

Will You?

Will you still love me in ten years time?
When my image starts to fade.

When my adventure and courage turns to fear,

Will you promise that you'll stay?

I've been living in the dark with no light,

Searching for a place I'll call home.

Finding that with love there's a fight,

I'll fight to prove them all wrong.

Will you still love me 'til the end of time?

Will you hold me for as long as you can?

In a house by the sea,

One dog, you & me,

No worries and no plans.

THE LEMON TREE

There's a place that we could be together, alone, just you and me,

There's a place that we could call home

There's a place just down the road where the grass is green and the seeds are sown,

Underneath the lemon tree.

That's where I'll be,

That's where I'll be.

Take my hand I'll take you there a place with no worries no need to be scared,

Take my hand and I will keep you safe.

Take my hand it's time to go chasing the sun 'til the end of the road.

Underneath the lemon tree.

That's where I'll be, (That's where I'll be, thats where I'll be)

That's where I'll be. (That's where I'll be, thats where I'll be)

That's where I'll be, (That's where I'll be, thats where I'll be)

If you ever need me.

Underneath the lemon tree you can be who you want to be,

I won't judge and trees can't speak.

DREAMCATCHER

You're out to fix a broken heart,

Wipe away the tears I cry and paint over battle scars.

And I'm not easy to run around with,

But you're always one step ahead.

So don't lose faith,

Just hold my hand to keep me safe.

The more tears I cry the less poison running through my veins.

You're not like the others I've see before,

You keep me guessing with my ear pressed against the floor.

And you've been waiting for your turn to come around,

Perfect imperfection is what you've found.

Please don't change.

The more tears I cry the less poison running through my veins.

Dreamcatcher keep my dreams tonight,

Don't let my saviour ever leave my side.

WAKE UP

It's not the fairytale that I was hoping for,

Those dreams they leave you crying out and wanting more.

So I'll savour the memories 'fore my innocence was lost.

Rainy day remembering I will pay at any cost.

I've got not one else to blame,

I keep calling out your name.

My life will never be the same.

Wake up, wake up, wake up.

Its a new kind, new kind of love.

I could never love somebody, unless that body is you.

We drive the distance but we've got so far to go,

I can always read you but there's so much I don't know.

So take my heart in your hands and show me which ways home.

I don't need the house on the hill I'll follow where you go.

I've got no one else to blame,

I love the sound of your name.

My life will never be the same.

GOLD

I’ve sold my heart to the man with bright green eyes

‘Cos when the glass slipper fits you believe all their lies.

It’s hard to hold your tongue and keep your head high,

As the rust grew on my dusty bones you left me to die.

And I gave away the shoes we drew your name on,

Though the ink on my heart has not started to fade your love is long gone.

And I cry seven months worth of tears from my eyes,

I remember all the words you said your final goodbye.

Although your bed will be warm inside you’ll be cold,

I hope you think of me when your body is sold.

You’re not good enough,

To be worth gold.

So I’ve cut my hair and dyed it the darkest shade of green,

Anything to symbolise the end of you and me.

And I’ve thrown away the pictures of you and me,

Though I can’t erase my photographic memories.

PARADISE

I can't say I'm not scared as the sun starts to fall,

I don't want to close my eyes in case we don't get tomorrow.

So hold me closer than close and promise you won't leave my side,

I'll surrender to you my body, my time.

'Cause I'm yours and I know that you want me too,

Don't hesitate no need to think it through,

It's me and you.

As we fall in to the night whisper softly "I am yours and you are mine",

And as our hearts begin to ignite I know we have found paradise.

Take me up to the moon, let me swim with your stars,

Anywhere we go is heaven as long as I'm in your arms.

Take me higher and higher and promise you won't let me fall,

And to you I'll surrender my heart, my soul.

'Cause I'm yours and I hope that you want me too,

Don't lie my heart is black and blue,

The way you feel please tel me the truth,

Is it me and you?

CHANCES ARE

Chances are she'll go home with him,

It won't be love but it's how it begins.

You won't bat an eye or count your lucky stars,

He won't know how lucky he is.

Chances Are you don't know how I feel,

Chances Are I'm not bold enough to steal your heart,

I come apart, cupid's shooting in the dark,

You dance with him while I wonder what my chances are.

Do you recall the night we met?

Between Jack and Jim I woke up in your bed.

We keep hanging out but never went there again,

After all this time we're still just friends?

Chances Are you don't know how I feel,

Chances Are I'm not bold enough to steal your heart,

It's hard to hit your mark when cupid's shooting in the dark,

While I wonder what my chances are.

REAR VIEW MIRROR

You suit my rear view mirror hunny,

Now there's a picture I could frame sit you on my bedside table night and day.

Thinking you'll pick me up in that rusty truck,

We'll drink some beer and laugh it off.

It don't work that way.

'Cause my mumma didn't raise no saint,

But my daddy wont allow a sinner.

I guess we'll find our the hard way.

You suit my rear view mirror hunny,

Now there's a picture I could frame sit you on my bedside table night and day.

And you can keep on dreaming on darling,

I'm a gun with just one shot, you're in my dust you're long forgotten.

Thought we had it all but I was wrong,

You were on the other side of town having "fun"

& that's not all.

I guess you thought it would be fine,

When you said her name instead of mine.

It's a long way to fall.

Won't make that mistake again.

So I hitched a ride out of town,

But not before I spread the word around.

STORY OF LOVE

I am yours, promise to love me so

'Cause without you I'd rather walk alone.

Give me love until my skin grows cold,

I will never be letting you go.

I see my future in your eyes,

Your past it don't matter to me.

I'm in love, I'm in love, I'm in love,

I could not lie to myself.

I'm exactly where I want to be.

We've come such a long, long way,

We've only scratched the surface of us.

So don't look down 'cause I'm never looking back,

Keep me shining brighter then the stars above.

This is our story of love.

Take my hand, of course, you already have my heart,

& when you leave I hate seeing you go.

Promise me you'll return don't keep me hanging on and on,

And like a fool in love I'll welcome you home.

I'M MOVING TO NASHVILLE

I'm moving to Nashville,

With a suitcase full of hopes and dreams.

I'm trading in my cow for a bag of magic beans.

For all that I've given, to get here,

With all the miles in between.

Please don't let me one way ticket just be a handful of seeds.

I'm moving to Nashville.

I'm moving to Nashville,

To those I've left behind I leave a trail of breadcrumbs so I'm easier to find.

When you hear a sad song, in a small bar, I hope you think of me.

Please don't let my music fade in to a memory,

'Cause I'm moving to Nashville.

Life is a journey, not a destination,

Why'd it take me so long to have this realisation?

When I moved to Nashville,

There was no gold at the end of rainbow,

Just people pulling strings at a grandiose puppet show.

It's about who you know, not what you know,

It's about where you've been and where you'll go.

When I moved to Nashville.

But I moved to Nashville,

& I'm going home with more than hopes and dreams,

I know just who I am and exactly where I need to be.

I'll never forget it or regret it,

'Cause now i'll always know.

Life's a journey, it's not where you go.

Life's a journey, make it own.

Your life's a journey, and now i know,

I moved to Nashville.
