chasing dreams

Not all dreams come to be
Like the leaves, I'm falling free
I had my eyes fixed on a prize
But sometimes it don't arrive
This mind is weary Of living dreams
Something I might Not ever see
There's a light It shines
What I got Not hope to find
oh This world could be so sweet
Not all people are what they seem
Least not what I hoped they would be
This world could be so sweet
But we're all busy chasing dreams

not every soul

I took the easy side
They told me it was I
It’s all in my mind
Gotta make it right
Surrounded by the type
To look away and hide
My fragile open heart
You held it from the start
I wanted to be free
Release this yoke from me
As you became the giver
I became the thief
It’s time that I believe myself
Listen when I cry for help
Trust that little voice inside
It’s saying I’ve a right to feel alive
When I thought I had you
familiar becomes truth
Now I’ve seen a light
But this one’s not so bright
We tried the narrow road
Such confidence and hope
It never took us home
So I'll be wand’rin on
Some ways I can’t live
Trying to forgive
Cause something in me knows
Not every soul is home

so long
04:58

See it all for what it seems
On the surface, so good and free
Why do I find after all this time
I’m still wanting
Hold em close, then far away
What I wanted most, to feel safe
Something I can’t name
Why am I ashamed
For what I couldn’t be
For what you thought you saw in me
For the one I’m supposed to be
And what I wish you could see
So long, my ideas
Of you
On the same page so it seems
But there’s something underneath
And I don’t know if I can set it free
I see you, for what you are
we’re all trying, broken hearts
Can I thank you for what you’ve done
And still want more
So long, my ideas
Of me, of you
So long, cause these ideas
Are hurting me, they’re hurting you

let it be
04:51

Something's gone past
Before my eyes
Gotta let it by
Some things they fade
With a little time
I guess it
Wasn't mine
Let it be
Let each one go free
Some things unchanged
Some things unchained
Not for me to take
Some people give
Some they take
But you can't have me
You can't have me
Let it be
May each one go free, go free
Let it be
May each one be free
And I won’t try to hold on
Cause all that’s good is gone

this trampoline

I’m a Little Cold
That’s November for ya
This trampoline is old
ain’t got much to show ya
-long or short?
These streets are getting loud
After a long hard working day
Everybody’s getting out
But alone they must be…… going
These lights are always bright
Even in the middle of the night
Those billboards make me sigh
Oh the city’s never sleepin
I don’t know what’s ahead
Only what’s behind
Thank god I’ve got some mystery
Left in this life
The belts are screaming out
That ol thing rollin around
Not everybody gets to have
A shiny thing in which to drive
These trees are mighty bare
The grass is getting fair
The leaves are blowing dry
As the summer comes to midnight
—
Im moving slowly
Not to quick to going
Cause somewhere I dream
Is never better than where I sing
I’m giving all my things
Hoping to somebody they will bring
A little happiness
If not what’s the point of all this shit

free and on you go
04:06

Sometimes I wonder what I’m doin’
Where am I goin’
Sometimes I think I got too much time to wonder
Sometimes I think about you
Wonder how you do
you still tryna to see, to find what you need
Is he still living with you
Sometimes I think that I
I got too much on my mind
I try and I try and I try and I try to get by
The problem with being alone
You begin to try and hold
Something bigger, something bigger
When there’s too much on your mind
Only natural to try to find
The easiest way to take it away
To calm the mind
Where’s spirit where’s the light
I thought I knew for a time
Where’s that voice that they call God
He’s quiet or he’s gone
how could it be, at such a time
He’d leave me
If you’re hearing this
I hope that it’s a gift
I hope you know
That this
Is saying I forgive
No matter what you did
It ain't something I couldn’t
and if I can let you go
You can be free
on you go
if I can let you go
You can be free
On you go
Free and on you go
Free and on you go

Something about mystery that hurts
Oh I’ve tried and I can’t seem to find the words
You like to think you know
Come so close to a soul
Then there’s something about the mystery
That hurts
You walked a lonely road by my side
Shared a couple drinks staying up at night
Talkin bout the world
People that’ve hurt
all the wrongs you wish you could make right
I needed you I think you needed me
Weren’t sure who we wanted yet to be
Walked a few miles
A little too high
Wondering if we were being followed home
Oh time loses things and makes its way
And tomorrow we won’t look the same
Haven’t seen you in a while
Oh I miss that good ol’ smile
The way you could have anybody talkin’
Oh oooooooo
One can wonder how much they’re thought of
Pains to think about being forgotten
Most times I try to see
Beyond you and me
Yet here it’s late at night and still I wonder
Waaaaoooo waaaoooo
Oh you always wanted to grow
never wanted to grow old
Always tryin’ to find
A way to live our lives
Not stolen
Well I did it I went away
I never thought you wouldn’t say
A dam thing
A dam thing
A dam thing, to me
Right now a little bitterness
Is like a sweet and salty kiss
Oh it brings me a little bliss
Just for a moment, remiss
I hope you find yourself some quiet
Somewhere you can sit and wonder
If its really worth the game
to let it fall away
I wonder if that mystery will hurt

i won't wait

Sometimes you don’t know
When to let go
No reply shows
Aint no time to wait
however you go
As your night shows
Remember all those
Memories
And I won’t hold you down
And if you come around
Look me up and
I’ll come on down
Oh I’m slow
To carry on
You don’t have to wait
I hope your green grass
Oh it grows fast
Those tomatoes
Red on the vine
I hope you find your
Purple horizon
Though I won’t be there
Fallin’ asleep at your side
And I don’t need to know
I guess I don’t need to know
I don’t need to go
To find out
I hope the city
Keeps your lights on
And if you leave that
You’ll find what you want
Oh i’ve had the time to cry
cause it’s wrong
But sometimes
souls divide
Couldn’t seem to grow
May your tree know
Though there’s a plateau
You can reach
Up to the sky
Take that sweet sweet heart
Fly away
Yeah take that sweet sweet heart
Be free
When you ask me to
I’ll explain it all to you
but you don’t seem to want me to
So I won’t wait
I won’t wait

Oh November Golden, British Columbia
Oh November’s sultry folk tales take us on a journey through the muddy waters of relationship. Revelation and bitter
heartbreak, she delivers the songs of a weary but hopeful soul.
With powerful vocals and uncertain honesty, an Oh November song is like looking out over a misty lake, contemplating if you were meant to be there or just got lucky.
