SOUTHERN SUMMER RAIN THE BURNING DAYS

That southern summer rain awakening my One step closer to the grand finale war senses Did I make this bed we lie in? In the land of front porch swings and small Always pushing for the way it was before white picket fences Can you blame me for tryin'? Years away I used to play Little love, I could take you back In that southern summer rain blanketing the I can keep your heart intact garden No, don't you let it fade Where my grandpa used to sing “Goodnight Don't lose sight of the burning days Irene” His eyes were so light-hearted Were my beckonings not few and far He made me laugh; I'll never forget that between Am I mistaken? Take me back, I took for granted all the joys of Was your reckoning a slow, long-lived retreat southern rain A love forsaken It's not the same sweet simple Time has taken you away from me Little love, I could take you back So I'll close my eyes and you'll come to life I can keep your heart intact In that southern summer rain No, don't you let it fade Don't lose sight of the burning days That southern summer rain tapping at my window I'm a far, far cry from gone I'm lying here awake beside this sleeping love Some might say I've been holding on I've come to know To this ember for far too long It feels just right Won't you help me, babe, to prove them That it's raining tonight wrong

Take me back, I took for granted all the joys of Little love, I could take you back southern rain I can keep your heart intact It's not the same sweet simple No, don't you let it fade Time has taken you away from me Don't lose sight of the burning days So I'll close my eyes and you'll come to life Don't lose sight of the burning days OPEN SPACE, all music/lyrics by Mia Rose Lynne Copyright 2014

ALL THE DAYS I WANTED TO BE SAVED

A reminder to stand tall Could you spare another hour tonight? Under ceilings low The winter winds are growin'; it's a bad time for It was easy to forget alone It was easy to be small California seems to do it right, that's the most I know Just before a sudden snow It's been years since I could call her home The first flake kissed the ground I assured you I was lost I've adjusted to the ramblin' life You assured me I'd been found Addicted to the run, eager to be done Put my trust in if the moment's right, it's all or none I wanted to be saved, but not like this I'm thinkin' you could be the one Drowning in a sea of helplessness It was easier to breathe before we kissed; All the days I spent without you You took my breath away Feel like such a waste All the ways I've gone, every whisper to move on If it was cold that winter night, Make it easier to stay I was unaware You embraced my every flaw Would you entertain this thought of mine You erased my every care And hold on for a while, it's worth a little trial See, I've had my fill of city lights and lonesome Now a year has crept away nights I feel you by my side So would you stay a little while? And the passing of the time Never fails to make me cry 'Cause all the days I spent without you Feel like such a waste I wanted to be saved, but not like this All the ways I've gone, every whisper to move on Drowning in a sea of helplessness Make it easier to stay It was easier to breathe before we kissed; You took my breath away Oh I want you by my side again Wade if you want but I'm diving in And all the air surrounding me Made up my mind and I'm just dying to begin Never tasted so sweet And all the ways I used to be All the days I spent without you Never felt so free Feel like such a waste All the ways I've gone, every whisper to move on I wanted to be saved, just like this Make it easier to stay Floating on a sea of helplessness So much easier to breathe after each kiss All the ways I've gone, every whisper to move on You take my breath away Make it easier to stay I'm trying to believe that this is real Could you spare another hour tonight? Praying I can give my heart until All that's left of it is yours alone to steal Like you stole my breath away OPEN SPACE, all music/lyrics by Mia Rose Lynne Copyright 2014

SECRET PLACE I’LL BE YOURS

Not too very far away Shadows that leap across the wall There's a secret place I used to know Count them as sleep begins to fall If I were to leave today I am your sheep; I'll keep you safe from Could I convince you to follow? harm Come on, let's go Billowing in the salted breeze It's a stage of stone out in the woods Guiding you through a sea of dreams Our spotlight was the sun I am your sail, rocking you in my arms Where far too many times I stood If the moon decides to shine for you no more Til the weary day was done And the stars desert the sky through heaven's door I've been down every trail in this open space You take the high road and I'll take the low road, When you're left with just the night and for a let's race light you implore Should the water rise, you'll be safe up high I'll be yours, oh I'll be yours In our secret place Silver and gold and rubies gleam Heard you may have lost your way Pirates attack with violent schemes That's an easy thing to do these days I am your shield, blocking their wielded Someone came and shook your faith swords You're lookin' for the nearest escape Tossing and tumbling, restless sleep I've been down every trail in this open space Sinking and crumbling, in too deep You take the high road and I'll take the low road, I am your wave; I'll lift you to safety's shore let's race Should the water rise, you'll be safe up high If the moon decides to shine for you no more In our secret place And the stars desert the sky through heaven's door And that sky blue will remind you that we are young And that sweet breeze through the oak trees is When you're left with just the night and for a saying, son light you implore I'll be yours, oh I'll be yours I've been down every trail in this open space You take the high road and I'll take the low road, let's race Should the water rise, you'll be safe up high Even time cannot erase Our secret place OPEN SPACE, all music/lyrics by Mia Rose Lynne Copyright 2014

LET ME LOVE YOU NOTHING YOU TOUCH

I believe in no regrets The oil from your hand ruins a butterfly's With that said, if I did, a couple come to mind wings Convinced myself that I paid all debts By the time I was five, I'd learned these All I wanna do is call and ask if there's still time kinds of things Pretty to look at and precious to hold Let me love you, let me love you now Nothing you touch turns to gold Let me love you, let me love you now Cause I'm sinking and I don't know how to not A frog is a tadpole you had to let grow A sunflower's high but it starts down below Funny when the flood washed the soil away Everything dies, when you're young you Things we buried long ago floated to the top don't know Maybe it all was a big mistake No, nothing you touch turns to gold Your face and all these words running through my head and it won't stop And with the passing of the days, How do you let them fall away? Let me love you, let me love you now Even the sunset seems to call, Let me love you, let me love you now You never can hold on to it all Cause I'm sinking and I don't know how to not A wave has to crash and then no longer be Stubborn I can be til I get what I want But it wasn't a wave, just a part of the sea Then when I have it I throw it all away A ripple's a gift that you start with a stone Admitting I was wrong was the easiest part No, nothing you touch turns to gold The hardest is waiting to hear if you'll say Nothing you touch turns to gold Nothing you touch turns to gold Let me love you, let me love you now Let me love you, let me love you now Cause I'm sinking and I don't know how to not OPEN SPACE, all music/lyrics by Mia Rose Lynne Copyright 2014

I WOULD FOR YOU THAT WOULDN’T BE ME

Hanging above is a Cheshire cat moon I could pose as a weakling, unashamed of With half a smile he'll vanish soon deceiving I know it's never pleasant to be taken for a fool I could make you believe my dreams were full But I would for you I could strike up a smile in the face of denial and I'm sure you'd be sold Tunneling low through a hole in the ground A brave young soul burrows down I was never the one to hold my tongue It's hard to carve a way out with no sunlight That was never the way I got things done shining through I could let you forget me with the greatest of ease But I would for you But that wouldn't be me

Baby are you lonesome tonight? I could call it a game now, I could be on my way I can tell there's something on your mind out I can see the empty in your eyes and I can't fill the I could lay down this pair of wings to fold void, it's true I could be more forgiving, I could be less But if I could, I would for you forbidding I could not be so bold Weathered and worn is a dated cartoon Often played, rarely viewed I was never the one to hold my tongue It's not easy to appease when you've been faded That was never the way I got things done out and used I could let you forget me with the greatest of ease But I would for you But that wouldn't be me That wouldn't be me Baby are you lonesome tonight? I can tell there's something on your mind And the longer they call for surrender I can see the empty in your eyes and I can't fill the The longer they call for my pride void, it's true I will never be one for pretending But if I could, I would for you I've got nothing to hide

Where have you gone? I was never the one to hold my tongue Are you somewhere in the wind? That was never the way I got things done Are you travelin' on your own? I could let you forget me with the greatest of ease But that wouldn't be me Baby are you lonesome tonight? That wouldn't be me. I can tell there's something on your mind I can see the empty in your eyes and I can't fill the void, it's true But if I could, I would for you I would for you OPEN SPACE, all music/lyrics by Mia Rose Lynne Copyright 2014

WHEN THE SUN GOES DOWN

I wake long before the alarm You know that's new for me It's easy without your sweet arms to tempt me back to sleep

I won't pretend it was wrong These are better days Wiser apart in our strong march through the change

But when the sun goes down, When the sun goes down, When the sun goes down... Do you miss me?

Telephone calls from the friends I haven't seen in years After all of the time I spent crying I'm laughing through the tears

No, I won't pretend it was wrong There are no more fights Nothing to do but press on, Reaching new heights

But when the sun goes down, When the sun goes down, When the sun goes down... Do you miss me?

You weren't mine I wasn't yours Just two people in love and it ran its course So, we leapt and fell I still wish you well

How many times will I wake From dreaming you're still here? Before I can sleep through the night, Before you disappear?

I won't pretend it was wrong These are better days Soon you'll have somebody new taking my place

But when the sun goes down, When the sun goes down, When the sun goes down... Will you miss me?
