1. In your Hollow
Do you collect the sunlight
in your hollow
lonely
Does it leave a space
for the rain to fill
the echo of your absence
haunts the air I breathe
I am taking shallow steps
I would not disturb the silence
That pools around my feet
and ankles
If I am very still & quiet
I can almost remember you

2.I Had a Lover I thought was my Own
I had a lover I though was my own
I 'd slip from my bed while my husband was sleeping
Once I drove to his house but the door was locked
I could see he had the candles all lit
I had a lover I thought was my own
Once he told me
You should pay me
I keep the older women of this town happy
Fat & merry
I had a lover I thought was my own
He took me in his arms upon the chair
When I'd told him we were done
He held me close & stroked my hair

3. Spare Parts
& Whatever you got lyin' around
in the back of a closet or on the ground
under your bed
I'd like to take it home with me
I'll build a man with a gold heart
out of the spare parts
you don't want anymore
I'm pretty good with my hands
& I need a man
who'll whirr & purr
stir at my command
& whatever you got lyin' around
you won't miss too much
I need the touch of a clean machine
made up of spare parts
it's the ones with the broken hearts
that cry tears of joy
Cry tears of joy over the simplest things
& whatever you got lyin' around
in the back of a closet or on the ground
under your bed
I'd like to take it home with me
I'll build a man with a gold heart
out of those spare parts

4.Lily of the Valley
He gave me a crown of gold
silver was all that I'd wanted
the silver of moonlight on the water
a lover who'd look into my eyes
& Everybody said I was foolish
& everybody knew they knew better than
be that as it may
I only feel sorry for the Lily of the Valley
that grew beside the shade of the Dogwood tree
because they always remind me now
they always remind me
be that as it may
"white coral bells ring" came up by surprise
at the new house this Spring.
Someone had to be the hard headed hammer
well, let me play the part that pries the nails out
when all of the walls built between us are gone
we'll lie in the grass
in the warm sun
Baby, do you want to go?
Back where I come from?
I am the daughter of Mother's Nature's Son.

5. Highway Gone
Who's to know
where your love lies gone
where your loves flies gone
when you go, my love
& where you go
when the night falls love
& the morning comes
& you're gone, my love
My love's gone away
on the highway
gone

6. My Carolina
Meet me Midnight
Soft step candlelight
and I'll slip inside
I'm on fire driving down your highway
Bring me sweet tea, cigarettes
let me forget them on the nightstand by your bed
Oh my Carolina, what you've done to me
Oh my Carolina, want done to me forever
I am the ramblin' rose & I'll climb the highest fence
to thrust my faith, my love, myself and my world
bloom outside your window
No consequence to me if you're making me happy
no consequence to me if you're bring me misery
Oh my Carolina,see what you've done
what you've done to me

8. In the Ring
Went to bed angry last night
my last words a curse
you just shrug it off make it worse.
Slowly & sweetly
you kissed me on the elbow
but I just turned away
to make you pay, make you pay
Don't worry baby
this old life won't teach me
Don't worry baby
sometimes you just can't reach me
Anyway, I been round & round
in the ring
Stupid & punch drunk
won’t you let me rest
my bloody cheek against yours sometimes
Any good boxer knows
It’s not the punches you throw
But just how much how much can you take?
You won’t break me baby
I'll fight away & never change
Don't worry baby
Anyway
I’ve been round & round
In the ring
I've grown small & mean
You sweet thing
You poor sweet thing
Anyway, I been round & round
in the ring
Oh, won’t you let me rest

10. Your Skin Does Not Lie
White eyelashes
On your eyes
Your skin does not lie
I like a stroll in the morning
I like a stroll in the morning
Sleepy streets by the sea
Your skin does not lie
I see the lovers are entwined
Winter sky in the morning
Birds fly from their mouths
Birds that fill the sky
Winter blue
Winter blue
Winter white
eyelashes on your eyes
Winter blue
were your eyes
Stood so close when I spoke to you
Your skin does not lie
