Jaded Heart 06:46
Jaded Heart (Music and Lyrics by Sienna Dahlen) I can see the future Drawing the horizon Quick! Turn the page Give me an eraser or Arm me with a taser but Quick! I must engage For that scene must not be seen again Pull the curtains Raise the lights Folks, it's the end Chapters of my past tense Born out of pretense Live on in vein Unfolding like a bad dream Spawning in my blood stream Who's left to blame? When the sun's rays point to everyone And the moonshine blew your mind a kiss Just for fun Jaded Heart Jaded Heart

Stray 06:28
Stray (Lyrics and Music by Sienna Dahlen) Starin' out the window Rain's pourin' down Listenin' to the wind blow This city all around Traces of your footsteps Still scattered on the ground We do a little two-step No one hears a sound But I know When you walked away Today Darlin', you were gonna stray And you have gone astray Percevoir le matin À travers les yeux fermés Cachée dans un beau rêve Dans ce lit je veux rester Me balader sur ton ventre Et dans tous les coins perdus On fut saisi par le moment Arrosées d'un vertige fou et soul Mais je sais Quand je partirai Today Chérie, tu vas t'égarer Tu vas t'éloigner de moi Starin' out the window Rain's pourin' down Listenin' to the wind blow This city all around Traces of your footsteps Have all sunk into the ground The pieces of our two-step Were lost and never found Mais je sais Quand je partirai Today Chérie, je te sourirai Je me souviendrai De toi Je te sourirai Je me souviendrai Toujours De toi

Lil' Drummer Boy (Words and Music by Sienna Dahlen) He wears a prairie smile Speaks from his inner child Lil' drummer boy Paints a picture of time He's never one to race Braids rhythms out of space Step into his pace Leave your worries behind When his clock strikes ten As the sun descends Dreamland Awaits you Delirium Takes you All reason Escapes you New freedom Elates you And with this new found pulse Your heart may beat a waltz Lil' drummer boy Marches on for humankind

Words 06:49
Words (Words and Music by Sienna Dahlen) Words don't mean a thing Without a heart behind the mouth Actions won't arise without a spark Don't burn yourself Believe Slide in closer Lying next to you is all I need Carelessly I whisper words I Cannot help you speak But the day strides forward While the night crawls down Then the day climbs slowly And the words fall out It's your right to be Someone you've denied You've got time Time to grow those wings Cut the sky If the stars make way For your passage tonight There will be light Golden amber Oscillating Signifying you Earth-tone shades It's autumn now and Nina sings the blues Sings the blues And the day strides forward While the night crawls down Then the day climbs slowly And the words, they fall out

Sanguine 04:54
Sanguine (Lyrics and Music by Sienna Dahlen) Listen to the sanguine sing Blissful trickle ringing Mystic charmer min-g-ling Sensuously stinging Beauté Fatale Sang du printemps Reaching for the light Resonation Buzzing with delight War -b-ling call Goo-g-ly eyed It's spring La la la la La la la la la La la La la la la la la lahh La lahhh

Verglas 07:59
Verglas (Words and Music by Sienna Dahlen) A deep hush falls On Montreal Winter casts Her weighted spell Bare-skinned maples Line the park Keeping watch In the dark On était Le premier jour De la nouvelle décennie On s'approchait De minuit Sans un mot Elle nous quittait D'inombrables Grands érables Se courbaient, la saluaient Dans la brume Sous la lune Ils créaient Une voie sacrée Deep hush falls On Montreal Winter casts Her weighted spell Bare-skinned maples Line the park Keeping watch In the dark Through the center of the night Burst a voice so full of life Primal whisper laced with pain Bled right through the icy rain Un tapis de bois tissé Se tricotait sous ses pieds Elle pleurait Des larmes blanches Qui tombaient sur Chaque branche Ancienne âme Esprit jeune Bon courage Petite brune

Carrie 06:10
Carrie (Lyrics and Music by Sienna Dahlen) Carrie gets you down by the weight on her shoulders Carrie knows how much she can take As she bends Broken Carrie needs someone strong at night To hold her Carrying the burden of time has taken Its toll Sliding away watch her sliding away Cut the slack Pull back the reins secure life before she Fades to black Carrie appears like a dream late at night Out of nowhere Retrace the path of her shadow-less figure If you dare When Carrie sings When Carrie sings When Carrie sings It sounds like a prayer Carrie gets you down by the weight on her shoulders Carrie knows how much she can take As she sways Winded Carrie sings herself lullabies In the pale moonlight Sunrise is one breath away Last breath at stake Sliding away watch her sliding away Cut the slack Pull back the reins secure life before she Fades to black Carrie appears like a figment of my dark imagination Piercing the night with a voice That is screaming salvation When Carrie sings When Carrie sings When Carrie sings You bathe in her revelation Because Carrie... Farewell Carrie...
