Songs for Hannah

[Kestrel Savage.]

I found God
on the corner of 1st and Amistad
Where the West
was all but won
All alone, smoking his last cigarette
I said, "Where you been?"
He said, "Ask anything"

Where were you
when everything was falling apart?
All my days
were spent by the telephone that never rang
And all I needed was a call that never came
To the corner of 1st and Amistad

Lost and insecure, you found me, you found me
Lying on the floor surrounded, surrounded
Why'd you have to wait? Where were you? Where were you?
Just a little late, you found me, you found me

But in the end
everyone ends up alone
Losing her,
the only one who's ever known
Who I am,
who I'm not
and who I wanna be
No way to know how long she will be next to me

Lost and insecure, you found me, you found me
Lying on the floor surrounded, surrounded
Why'd you have to wait? Where were you? Where were you?
Just a little late, you found me, you found me!

The early morning, the city breaks
And I've been calling for years and years and years and years
And you never left me no messages
You never sent me no letters
You got some kind of nerve taking all I want!

Lost and insecure, you found me, you found me
Lying on the floor, where were you? Where were you?

Lost and insecure, you found me, you found me
Lying on the floor surrounded, surrounded
Why'd you have to wait? Where were you? Where were you?
Just a little late, you found me, you found me!

Why'd you have to wait to find me, to find me?

[Devlin Tempest]

It's so hard to figure out
Which way to turn
There's no going back now
All your bridges burned
The stars are gonna shine on you
If you can get through the day
Storm clouds all around you
But a blue skies on the way.

And we're all just passengers tonight
And we're all just traveling through our lives
We will reach our destination
So just hang on for the ride
Say a prayer and close your eyes
It's just a little turbulence.

Take a look around you
Look how far you've come
Your whole life in front of you
You've only just begun
We've all got our problems
But they're just bumps in the road
If you only keep on fighting
There's no where you can't go.

And we're all just passengers tonight
And we're all just traveling through our lives
We will reach our destination
So just hang on for the ride
So say a prayer and close your eyes
Its just a little turbulence.

This life can be so crazy
Can spin out of control
But I hope that all your dreams come true
Cause you know that you're amazing
And no matter where you go
I'll be there for you
We can make it through.

And we're all just passengers tonight
And we're all just traveling through our lives
We will reach our destination
So just hang on for the ride
Say a prayer and close your eyes
Its just a little turbulence.

And we're all just passengers tonight
And we're all just traveling through our lives
We will reach our destination
So just hang on for the ride
Say a prayer and close your eyes
Its just a little turbulence.

[Devlin Tempest]

This could be a Kes and Dev song buuuut...

Youre like the crush of thunder,
Echo through my darkest nights
You awaken all my senses, make me feel alive
Even if we try to fight it, we know that the sparks will fly
Cause in the end, we're just two people destined to collide

Like stone hearts and hand grenades
You and I are not the same
There is nothing that I would change
For stone hearts and hand grenades

All my lonely, you throw it all away
when you need me, I will keep you safe

After that all the dust is settled
We lift each other off the ground
I'll carry you a million miles
I'll never let you down
There's a lot of strength in weakness
There's a lot of truth in lies
But in the end, we're just two people destined to collide

Like stone hearts and hand grenades
You and I are not the same
There is nothing that I would change
Stone hearts and hand grenades

All my lonely, you throw it all away
When you need me, I will keep you safe
All my lonely, you throw it all away
Like stone hearts and hand grenades
You and I are not the same
There is nothing that I would change
Stone hearts and hand grenades
Stone hearts and hand grenades
All my lonely, you throw it all away
When you need me, I will keep you safe
All my lonely, you throw it all away
When you need me, I will keep you safe
All my lonely, you throw it all away
When you need me, I will keep you safe
All my lonely, you throw it all away
When you need me, I will keep you safe
I will keep you safe

"If I Die Young"

If I die young, bury me in satin
Lay me down on a, bed of roses
Sink me in the river, at dawn
Send me away with the words of a love song

Uh oh, uh oh

Lord make me a rainbow, I'll shine down on my mother
She'll know I'm safe with you when she stands under my colors, oh and
Life ain't always what you think it ought to be, no
Ain't even grey, but she buries her baby

The sharp knife of a short life, well
I've had just enough time

If I die young, bury me in satin
Lay me down on a bed of roses
Sink me in the river at dawn
Send me away with the words of a love song

The sharp knife of a short life, well
I've had just enough time

And I'll be wearing white, when I come into your kingdom
I'm as green as the ring on my little cold finger,
I've never known the lovin' of a man
But it sure felt nice when he was holding my hand,
There's a boy here in town who says he'll love me forever,
Who would have thought forever could be severed by

The sharp knife of a short life, well,
I've had just enough time

So put on your best boys and I'll wear my pearls
What I never did is done

A penny for my thoughts, oh no, I'll sell them for a dollar
They're worth so much more after I'm a goner
And maybe then you'll hear the words I been singin'
Funny when you're dead how people start listenin'

If I die young, bury me in satin
Lay me down on a bed of roses
Sink me in the river at dawn
Send me away with the words of a love song

Uh oh (uh, oh)
The ballad of a dove (uh, oh)
Go with peace and love
Gather up your tears, keep 'em in your pocket
Save them for a time when you're really gonna need them, oh

The sharp knife of a short life, well
I've had just enough time

So put on your best boys and I'll wear my pearls

[Rachey Pachey]

You've got a friend in me
You've got a friend in me
When the road looks rough ahead
And you're miles and miles
From your nice warm bed
You just remember what your old pal said
Boy, you've got a friend in me
Yeah, you've got a friend in me

You've got a friend in me
You've got a friend in me
If you've got troubles,I've got 'em too
There isn't anything I wouldn't do for you
We stick together and can see it through
Cause you've got a friend in me
You've got a friend in me

Some other folks might be
A little bit smarter than I am
Bigger and stronger too
Maybe
But none of them will ever love you
The way I do, it's me and you
Boy, and as the years go by
Our friendship will never die
You're gonna see it's our destiny
You've got a friend in me
You've got a friend in me
You've got a friend in me

[Kestrel Savage.]

Someone once told me that you have to choose
What you win or lose
You can’t have everything

Don’t you take chances
You might feel the pain
Don’t you love in vain
’cause love won’t set you free

I can’t stand by the side
And watch this life pass me by
So unhappy
But safe as could be

So what if it hurts me?
So what it I break down?
So what if this world just throws me off the edge,
My feet run out of ground
I gotta find my place
I wanna hear my sound
Don’t care about all the pain in front of me
I just trying to be happy
I just wanna be happy, yeah

Holding on tightly
just can’t let go
just trying to play my role
slowly disappear

But all these days
They feel like they’re they’re same
Just different faces
different place
Get me out of here

I can’t stand by the side
Ooh, no
And watch this life pass me by
Pass me by

So what if it hurts me?
So what if i break down?
So what if this world just throws me off the edge?
my feet run out of ground
I gotta find my place
I wanna hear my sound
don’t care about all the pain in front of me
I’m just trying to be happy

Oh, happy
Oh

So any turns that I can't see
Like I'm a stranger on this road
But don't say victim
Don't say anything

So what if it hurts me?
So what if I break down?
So what if this world just throws me off the edge?
My feet run out of ground
I gotta find my place
I wanna hear my sound
Don’t care about all the pain in front of me
I just wanna be happy
Happy
I just wanna be
Oh
I just wanna be
Happy.

[Kestrel Savage.]

I hurt myself today
To see if I still feel
I focus on the pain
The only thing that's real
The needle tears a hole
The old familiar sting
Try to kill it all away
But I remember, everything

What have I become
My sweetest friend
Everyone I know,
goes away
In the end
And you could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt

I wear this crown of thorns
Upon my liar's chair
[| From: www.elyrics.net/read/j/johnny-cash-lyrics/hurt-lyrics.html |]
Full of broken thoughts
I cannot repair
Beneath the stains of time
The feelings disappear
You are someone else
I am still right here

What have I become
My sweetest friend
Everyone I know
goes away
In the end
And you could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt

If I could start again
A million miles away
I would keep myself
I would find a way

[Kestrel Savage.]

They say that home is where the heart is
I guess I haven't found my home.
We keep driving around in circles
afraid to call this place our home.

And are we there yet?

They say there's linings made of silver
folded inside each rainy cloud
will we need someone to deliver
our silver lining now?

And are we there yet?
And are we there yet?
And are we there yet?
And are we there yet?
Home, home, home, home.
Home, home, home, home.

They say you're really not somebody
until somebody else loves you.
Well, I am waiting to make
somebody, somebody soon.

And are we there yet?
And are we there yet?
And are we there yet?
And are we there yet?
Home, home, home, home.
Home, home, home, home.

Where you will lie on the rug
while I play with the dog.
And you won't be too much
because this is too much.
Because this is too much for me to hold.
This is too much for me to hold.

Home, home, home.
And are we there yet?
And are we there yet?
And are we there yet?
Home, home, home.
Home, home, home.
Home.
And are we there yet?
And are we there yet?
And are we there yet?
And are we there?

[Kestrel Savage.]

"Don't Let Them See You Cry"

Don't let them see you cry
When the dam breaks down and the city is covered in water
Cause I believe we fly
When the moon takes shape and I dose off, on your shoulders

I trust that you see it too

So breathe while you're alive
Let the big band play as you tap leather with your fingers
And I tried to write in style
But the words just come and I write them as soon as I see them

And I trust that you write them too
And I trust that you love me too

[Kestrel Savage.]

Everybody says it's so beautiful out here
All I see is hard.. And wet
Wind and the sun..
They try to hurt me every chance they get..
All I really want

Something familiar..
Something like home..
Something familiar..
Just wanna go home..

Everybody says it's so beautiful out here..
You and I.. We know the truth

It's hard and it's wet and the wind and the sun
They all try to hurt me every chance they get..
They try to keep me from going on..
To something familiar..
To something like home..

[Kestrel Savage.]

And she was no beauty queen
She was in love at just sixteen
with an older boy who hardly knew her name
She would think of him and say
You will be mine some day
But her head was filled with things that could've been
And she was just sixteen

Her head was filled with fairydust and gold
She never did what she was told
But she knew what she wanted from a very young age
Didn't care about a job or give a damn about a wage

She just wanted him
And she wanted him for good
She would do whatever it took, whatever she could
And now she can't stop loving him she never meant to start
But what else can you expect from a foolish heart

And she was no beauty queen
She was in love at just sixteen
with an older boy who hardly knew her name
She would think of him and say
You will be mine some day
But her head was filled with things that could've been
And she was just sixteen

Age is but a number she would say and she'd believe
But four years is way too long to wear your heart on your sleeve
And she thought maybe it's time to move on, it's been too long romance is gone,
Sung is the song and now this feels all wrong
And in a world of advice she feels so small
Someone better tell this girl it's probably not love at all

And she was no beauty queen
She was in love at just sixteen
with an older boy who hardly knew her name
She would think of him and say
You will be mine some day
But her head was filled with things that could've been
And she was just sixteen

Oh no, here she goes again

And she got what she wanted when he returned her love
Everything was cosy he fit her like a glove
She always dreamt of things she never had though she knew that it was wrong
He blinked and she blinked and suddenly thirty years were gone
They remembered all the times that she


was no beauty queen
She was in love at just sixteen
with an older boy who hardly knew her name
She would think of him and say
You will be mine some day
But her head was filled with things that could've been
And she was just sixteen

[Devlin Tempest]

We'll meet again,
Don't know where,
Don't know when
But I know we'll meet again some sunny day
Keep smiling through,
Just like you always do
Till the blue skies drive the dark clouds far away

So will you please say "Hello"
To the folks that I know
Tell them I won't be long
They'll be happy to know
That as you saw me go
I was singing this song

We'll meet again,
Don't know where,
Don't know when
But I know we'll meet again some sunny day

We'll meet again,
Don't know where
Don't know when.
But I know we'll meet again some sunny day.
Keep smiling through
Just like you always do,
'Til the blue skies
Drive the dark clouds far away
So will you please say"Hello"
To the folks that I know.
Tell them it won't be long.
They'll be happy to know
That as you saw me go,
I was singin' this song.

We'll meet again,
Don't know where,
Don't know when
But I know we'll meet again some sunny day
I promise

[Devlin Tempest]

"Lantern" by Josh Ritter

Be the light of my lantern, the light of my lantern, be the light
Be the light of my lantern, the light of my lantern, tonight
Be the light of my lantern, the light of my lantern, be the light
I need light in my lantern, light in my lantern, tonight

It's a hungry world out there
Even the wind will take a bite
I can feel the world circling
Sniffing round me in the night
And the lost sheep grow teeth
Forsake the lambs and lie with the lions

And the living is desperate
Precarious and mean
And getting by is so hard
That even the rocks are picked clean
And the bones of small contention
Are the only food the hungry find

I'll need light for my lantern, light for my lantern tonight
Light in my lantern, light in my lantern tonight

Where the thistles eat the thorns
And the roses have no chance
And it ain't no wonder that the babies
Come out crying in advance
And the children look for shelter
In the hollow of some lonesome cheek

And the sky's so cold and clear
The stars might stick you where you stand
And you're only glad it's dark 'cause
You might see the master's hand
You might cast around forever
And never find the peace you seek

I need light for my lantern, light for my lantern tonight
Be the light in my lantern, the light of my lantern tonight

For every cry in the night
Somebody says, "Have faith!"
"Be content inside your questions"
"Minotaurs inside a maze"
Tell me what's the point of light
That you have to strike a match to find?

So throw away those lamentations
We both know them all too well
If there's a book of Jubilations
We'll have to write it for ourselves
So come and lie beside me darling
And let's write it while we still got time

So if you got a light, hold it high for me
I need it bad tonight, hold it high for me
Cause I'm face to face, hold it high for me
In that lonesome place, hold it high for me
With all the hurt that I've done, hold it high for me
That can't be undone, hold it high for me
Light and guide me through, hold it high for me
I'll do the same for you, hold it high for me

I'll hold it high for you, 'cause I know you've got
I'll hold it high for you, your own valley to walk
I'll hold it high for you, though it's dark as death
I'll hold it high for you, and then gets darker yet
I'll hold it high for you, though your path seems lost
I'll hold it high for you, through the thieves and rocks
I'll hold it high for you, keep you safe from harm
I'll hold it high for you, until you're back in my arms

Be the light of my lantern, the light of my lantern, tonight
Be the light of my lantern, the light of my lantern, tonight
Be the light of my lantern, the light of my lantern, tonight
Be the light of my lantern, the light of my lantern, tonight

[Kestrel Savage.]

Bruised

Alarm clock greets me like a kick to the head,
Stare at the ceiling, can't get out of this bed
Oh I can't feel my breakfast, my tongue lost its taste
Another insignificant day gone to waste.

But I could make a change for the better, today, today,
The worlds in my hands, I can mold it my way.

Nothing to gain, next to nothing to lose,
The morning's a kick and the day is the bruise,
If I wake up tomorrow with a smile on my face,
It's because I've finally accepted this world,
That I have to embrace.

Days full of drama, of laughs and of lies,
It can get rough when you're fighting a war from both sides,
So take off your helmet, and put down your gun,
Take a step back, relax, have some fun.

You could make a change for the better, today, today
The worlds in your hands, you can mold it your way

Nothing to gain, next to nothing to lose,
The morning's a kick and the day is the bruise,
If I wake up tomorrow with a smile on my face,
It's because I've finally accepted this world
That I have to embrace.

I'm in a warzone battered and confused,
It can be tough to get up when you're bruised, bruised, bruised...

Nothing to gain, next to nothing to lose,
The morning's a kick, and the day is the bruise
If I wake up tomorrow with a smile on my face,
It's because I've finally accepted this world,
That I have to embrace.

[Devlin Tempest]

RUN FOR YOUR LIFE

Seventeen years by her side
Broke the same bread
Wore the same clothes and we said
We're sisters with nothing between
If one of us fall
The other will soon be following

Both of you fell the same day
You don't know why
One of you never woke up
And you laid your body down on the floor
You're desperate to hear her footsteps again
But this house is on fire, we need to go

Oh, you don't have to go it alone, go it alone

Run for your life, my love
Run and you don't give up
With all that you are
All that you want
I will be close behind
Run for your life

She had a fire inside
And that terrified you
You swore that you'd never lose your control
Baby, let yourself go 'cause part of you hides
And I know the hunger inside of you's strong
You can only hold back the river so long

Oh, you don't have to go it alone
Oh, you don't have to go it alone, go it alone

Run for your life, my love
Run and you don't give up
All that you are
All that you want
Run for your life right now
And if you don't know how
I’ll come back with you and take all that’s true
And leave all that's burned behind
Run for your life

Oh, you don't have to go it alone
Go it alone, go it alone,

Run for your life, my love Run and you don't give up
All that you are
All that you want
Run for your life right now
And if you don't know how
I’ll come back with you and take all that’s true
Leave all that's burned behind
So run for your life
Run for your life
