Falling Into Blues ©2004 Kimrea You used to love me Like I was the cat's meow You gave me your attention You took me out on the town That's yesterdays news The rose has lost it's bloom The thrill is gone, we're through And I'm falling into blues Falling into blues Falling into blues Nothing to hang onto I'm falling into blues You used to treat me Like I was a treasure you'd found You paid me compliments You wanted me around That was another life Those happy days are gone Something has died it's true And I'm falling into blues Falling into blues Falling into blues Nothing to hang onto I'm falling into blues

Emily Finds Love ©2004 kimrea I was walking by the river looking for a skipping stone I put it right here in my pocket and carried it home Emily finds love Emily finds love Where ever she goes Emily finds love I was sitting on the rooftop while all the world was sleeping in bed Letting my imagination run wild out of my head Emily finds love Emily finds love Where ever she goes Emily finds love I wouldn't want to live in a fishbowl, spend my life swimming in circles I'd rather be taking my chances out here in this big old world Emily finds love Emily finds love Where ever she goes Emily finds love Oh you know it's a mystery how we ever came this far I'm betting on tomorrow and giving you my heart Emily finds love Emily finds love Where ever she goes Emily finds love

In Between Lives ©2004 kimrea Don't know where I'm going, don't know what to do I'm trying to decide, I havn't got a clue Can't make up my mind, I'm inbetween lives In between lives, It's like purgatory Looking for an angel to hear my story In betwen lives, waiting for the next role Open the door and move me on I was somebody once, not so long ago I had that confidence, but now I don't know I'm just hanging around, In between lives In between lives, It's like purgatory Looking for an angel to hear my story In betwen lives, waiting for the next role Open the door and move me on I lost my job, they put me out in the street The money's all gone, ain't got no family No car, no home, no one would have me I'm all alone, this tale is all I own In between lives, It's like purgatory Looking for an angel to hear my story In betwen lives, waiting for the next role Open the door and move me on I was somebody once, not so long ago I had that confidence, but now I don't know I'm just hanging around, In between lives In between lives In between lives

Priorities 05:25
Priorities ©2004 kimrea Music's not my lover, he just follows me around whispering sweet nothings, sometimes I write them down But first I do the dishes and then I sweep the floor First I feed the children, take care of business that's for sure I got my priorites on I got my priorities on I take my time and consider where my decisions lead I pray to keep my life in focus, I pray to clearly see I got my priorities on I got my priorities on Art is not my mistress, she just visits frequently I entertain her when I can and meet her family But first I make the beds up and then I make the coffee First I clothe the children, take care of business, can't you see I got my priorities on I got my priorities on I take my time and consider where my decisions lead I pray to keep my life in focus, I pray to clearly see I got my priorities on I got my priorities on Work is not my master, he just helps me pay the bills I'm happy to be working and thankful for my skills First I plant the garden and then I bake the bread First I teach the children, take care of business like I said I got my priorities on I got my priorities on Those who use their talents to seek fortune and fame Often wind up looking foolish and throw their lives away First I fold the laundry and then I change the sheets First I raise the children take care of business don't you see I got my priorities on I got my priorities on I got my priorities on

I Can Wait Forever ©2004 kimrea Those boys tell me there are sharks in the pool Those boys tell me I got to live by their rules But I don't play their game There's no winning any way I keep my own mind I take my own time Certain some day I'll find what I'm looking for I can wait forever for a love that's true I can wait forever for a love that's true Those boys tell me that it dosn't exist Those boys tell me I'm wasteing time to wish They havn't seen what I've seen They havn't been where I've been I live my own dream I know what I believe Certain someday I'll meet the love I'm living for I can wait forever for a love that's true I can wait forever for a love that's true Those boys don't know me at all Those boys can't tell a door from a wall There's no explaining to them I don't even attempt I look in my heart and mind And there inside I find A love welcome and wide open waiting for me I can wait forever for a love that's true I can wait forever for a love that's true I can wait forever for a love that's true I can wait forever for a love that's true

Not Enough Prozac ©2004 kimrea I got this pain, it's in my head It makes me feel like staying in bed But I don't want to be that way I got too much to do to be that way And there's not enough prozac to go around Not enough ups, and too many downs What will we do when we all feel bad What will we take when we all feel sad Look out everybody when we all go mad I'm battling the blues, they're in my mind They follow me around all the time But I don't want to feel that way I can't count my blessings when I feel that way And there's not enough prozac to go around Not enough ups, and too many downs What will we do when we all feel bad What will we take when we all feel sad Look out everybody when we all go mad I wrestle with depression, it's in my brain I chase it away, again and again Cause I don't want to think that way I know it does no good to think that way And there's not enough prozac to go around Not enough ups, and too many downs What will we do when we all feel bad What will we take when we all feel sad Look out everybody when we all go mad

So Long Gone 04:40
So Long Gone ©2004 Kimrea It's dinner time in Texas In Spain they're having breakfast By the time that you get this message I'll be so long gone Off into the sunset Adios, Farewell No looking back, no regrets I'm moving on It's autumn down under In Michigan it's summer You don't have to wonder where I am I'm so long gone I'm so long gone I'm history I'm so long gone, I'm just a memory I'm so long gone, are you missing me? I'm so long gone It's so hot in Mexico Indiana, cold and snow I'm sure by now you know that I'm not there I'm so long gone I'm so long gone I'm history I'm so long gone, I'm just a memory I'm so long gone, are you missing me? I'm so long gone The world is waiting outside my door Keep the motor running I won't be coming round here anymore I'm so long gone I'm history I'm so long gone, I'm just a memory I'm so long gone, are you missing me? I'm so long gone

Willie's Down ©2004 Kimrea Willie's down in the basement His head between his knees Willie's down in the basement Out stone cold in a junkie sleep Earlier this evening out on the street I saw him underneath a lampost looking sharp and clean Like he'd pulled himself together, straightened out his life Now he's down there in the celler, folded like a pocket knife Willie's down in the basement His head between his knees Willie's down in the basement Out stone cold in a junkie sleep Sitting upstairs in the window, I was watching the scene Looking for the action, I could see most everything There was dandy Willie strutting his stuff Now he's crumpled like a car wreck, It's just so tough Willie's down in the basement His head between his knees Willie's down in the basement Out stone cold in a junkie sleep I heard somebody shouting, get him out of here Who let him in the door, you know he can't sleep there Dump in in the alley, it's just another day You know it's nothing personal, it always ends this way Willie's down in the basement His head between his knees Willie's down in the basement Out stone cold in a junkie sleep

I Wanna Be Zen ©2004 kimrea I wanna be Zen Rise above the illusion The ten thousand things Only lead to confusion Daily grind, overwhelming mind Brings depression, when I wanna be zen I wanna be Zen Rise above the illusion The ten thousand things Only lead to confusion Human pursuits, masquerade as truth They deceive me, believe me, I wanna be zen I wanna be Zen Rise above the illusion The ten thousand things Only lead to confusion I have desires, burning passionate fires They consume me, pursue me, I wanna be zen I wanna be Zen Rise above the illusion The ten thousand things Only lead to confusion I observe humanity, stress and insanity Chasing money, it's not funny, I wanna be zen I wanna be Zen Rise above the illusion The ten thousand things Only lead to confusion
