Ashes 03:13
lyrics
Well I planted a garden in your backyard Everyday I loved it more And I gave it everything I had to give Never asking myself what for I prayed it wouldn't wither and waste away All your flowers die these days So won't you lay me in the garden if I must go Let my sins melt away like fire in the snow Should my heart break leave me there I've got to know They say from ashes, flowers grow Then I planted a garden of my own I didn't see it as fancy or fine But I gave it everything I had to give Good or bad well, I knew it was mine I was sure that it would wither and waste away All my flowers are fine these days So won't you lay me in the garden if I must go Let my sins melt away like fire in the snow Should my heart break leave me there I've got to know They say from ashes, flowers grow I need to know that if I break down If I gave in If I made a sound If I break apart If I rise above I need to know So won't you lay me in the garden if I must go Let my sins melt away like fire in the snow Should my heart break leave me there I've got to know They say from ashes, flowers grow From ashes, flowers grow From ashes, flowers grow

Waiting For Me 04:18
lyrics
I think I'll wait another day until I know what I might say When I can see the world as something new 'Cause I've been stuck here in this rut I've got some ties I have to cut so I can see another point of view There's nothing wrong with these old boots or where they'er standin' It's just a walk across the map that they'er demanding There are wise old faces Wide open spaces Brand new places to see There are roads untraveled Puzzles to unravel I'll take a bus or car or train to see the great wide open plains From Appalachia to the deep blue sea Or I could just lay here in this grass and wait for life to drift on past And dream away a dream that won't come true There's nothing wrong with these old boots or where they'er standin' It's just a walk across the map that they'er demanding There are wise old faces Wide open spaces Brand new places to see There are roads untraveled Puzzles to unravel There are wise old faces Wide open spaces Brand new places to see There are roads untraveled Puzzles to unravel Stories to baffle a small town girl like me There are wise old faces Wide open spaces Brand new places to see There are roads untraveled Puzzles to unravel And all of them are waiting for me

Coming To See You 04:26
lyrics
I found out today I'm coming to see you soon But I don't know what I will find When I stand in your light And I rest in your hallowed room I don't know how it will feel And I don't know how I'll arrive It could be a car crash Could be a train wreck It could be an airplane touching down I decided today I'm coming to be with you But it may not be as they say Because maybe they'er wrong Fate is a funny, fickle thing I don't know how it will feel And I don't know how I'll arrive It could be a car crash Could be a train wreck It could be a hurricane blowing through town It could be a car crash Could be a train wreck It could be an airplane falling from the sky Or maybe they'er right, maybe I'm stale Maybe this body of mine is the final betrayal Maybe they'll dance, maybe they'll cry But they'll never know I was secretly smiling... I don't know how it will feel And I don't know how I'll arrive It could be a car crash Could be a train wreck It could be a lost lonely soul with a gun It could be a car crash Could be a train wreck It could be an airplane touching down From the sky But it'll be you and I

Unglued 02:43
lyrics
Save it for your friends the bitter end could be soon And I'd save you if I could it does no good to please you I'm on file, in denial, left unriled at your wounds I'm unstable at your table Barely able to unglue Have your little fun don't come undone 'till I do And I say this as a friend Your little trend could eat you I'm on file, in denial, left unriled at your wounds I'm unstable at your table Barely able to unglue And I should have sympathy But you make it hard You're so in style Still I'm always out of fashion I'm on file, in denial, left unriled at your wounds I'm unstable at your table Barely able to unglue

The Real Me 03:32
lyrics
I can see there's no one listening I'll just scream inside my head But I can see where something's missing Now I profess You're the mess Don't come in 'till you're undressed And I can see what you've been eating & What's been eating you You find it all strangely euphoric That I just eat what I've been fed But I find your love too high caloric Now I profess You're the mess Don't come in 'till you're undressed Don't come in 'till I can see it for myself Even a promise has a shelf-life Don't be confused if you hit land mines At least with my bombs you can hear the ticking You find it all strangely attractive If I could scream inside your head You'd see our love's radioactive Now I confess I'm the mess Don't come in 'cause I'm undressed And you might see what you've been stealing When you're unpeeling me And revealing The real me
