Bring You Home
All the broken-hearted walking, breathing slowly, softly talking.
All the missing that we do…
They miss theirs,
I miss you.
Is there nothing I can do to bring you home again?
And I would cross the river wide and travel to the other side.
Gladly pay the boatman’s fee Just to bring you back with me.
There’s not a thing I would not do To bring you home again.
How do you see me now?
And do you hear me call your name? I’m lost here all alone
My life is not the same without you.
All the lovers now embark
Whispering questions in the dark Mending hearts with love as glue
Still small cracks the light shines through.
Tell me what else can I do
To bring you home again?
And can you see me now?
And do you hear me call your name? I’m out here all alone.
My life will never be the same without you.
All the broken-hearted walking, breathing slowly, softly talking.
All the missing that we do…
They miss theirs.
I miss you.
And not a thing that I can do will bring you home again.
Shadow & Light
Song Inspired by a Haiku by author, songwriter and collaborator extraordinaire, Jenny Bienemann:
“Forgive me for all I leave undone, beguiled by light and shadow.”
I’ll be shadow, you be light
Meet me at dawn before the sun Just before the stars have gone At the edges of our time
You and I live in different worlds Yet not so very far apart
You craft a pattern on my heart Dancing as we do together
Forgive me all I do not do Beguiled by you
Beguiled by you
Instrumental/Vocalese Solo
You shine on even through the night Dressed in stars and pale moon
A constant brilliance in my dark
I could gaze at you forever
Forgive me all I do not do Beguiled by you
Beguiled by you
I’ll be shadow, you be light
Meet me at dawn before the sun Just before the stars have gone At the edges of our time together Dancing as we do forever
Forgive me all I do not do Beguiled by you
Leave Me The Light On

When you go
Leave me the light on
When you leave
Help me to see
When you go
Leave me the light on
So when I wake
I won't be in the dark
I've been waiting for the day
When you take my love away
And a box of thing you put out by the door
I've been waiting for the night
When you slip out of my sight
And I wake up to this empty house alone
But on chance feel like coming back home
I'll leave the light on
When you go
Leave me the light on
Cuz you know
I won't sleep without you
I've been waiting for the day
When you take my love away
And a box of thing you put out by the door
I've been waiting for the night
When you slip out of my sight
And I wake up to this empty house alone
But on chance feel on coming back home
I'll leave the light on
When you go
Leave me the light on
So that I
Might find you again
Dancing On The Edge
1) Dancing on the edge
Waiting to go home
Dancing on the edge
Dancing all alone
Dancing on the edge
of all the truth and lies that I’ve ever told
Dancing on the edge of every love that ever left me cold I’m Dancing on the edge
2) Dancing on the edge
Standing in between
Dancing on the edge
Hoping to be seen
Dancing on the edge without a witness there to watch me fall Dancing on the edge without another soul to hear me call That I’m Dancing on the edge
Bridge: Step one way or the other and you might be lost Better keep your balance or you’ll pay the cost
Of Dancing on the edge
3) Dancing on the edge
Waiting for a sign
Dancing on the edge
Which one is mine
Dancing on the edge where I can see myself looking back at me Dancing on the edge where all I need are wings to set me free From Dancing on the edge
Bridge: Step one way or the other and you might be lost Gotta keep your balance or you’ll pay the cost
Of Dancing on the edge
4) Dancing on the edge
Waiting for a train
Dancing on the edge
Hobo Heart is the refrain
Dancing on the edge of traveling by myself to the other side
Dancing on the edge to where this heart of mine can no longer hide From Dancing on the edge
