Closer to Home
04:10
|
|||
|
I'm climbing aboard going where I wanna be.
My bow's pointed North as I drift out to sea.
Jib and tack, got the sun at my back as I'm moving ahead.
Wind in my face, salt water taste, and I know I'm being led.. cause I'm...
Getting a little, getting a little closer.
Getting a little, getting further along.
I'm getting a little, getting a little closer to home.
The ocean's in my veins. It courses through me.
The drumming of my heart is the rhythm of the sea.
Up and back, am I still on track? The waves lure me on.
I trim my sails as dolphins and whales silhouette in the golden sun, and I'm ....
Getting a little, getting a little closer.
Getting a little, getting further along.
I'm getting a little, getting a little closer to home.
The sun will rise and set.
I haven't seen the shoreline yet, but I'm ....
Getting a little, getting a little closer.
Getting a little, getting further along.
I'm getting a little, getting a little closer to home.
The evening brings a calm. The stars talk to me.
A celestial song plays on as I listen to the sea.
Back and forth, am I still headed north? I ask the compass of my heart.
Through tearful eyes, color fills the sky as the Northern Lights pierce the dark.
Getting a little, getting a little closer.
Getting a little, getting further along.
I'm getting a little, getting a little closer to home.

Will I Ever Know Love
05:05
|
|||
|
Will I ever know love - the light reflected in a gentle lover's eyes?
Will I ever know love to hold my gaze and not turn away too shy?
Will I ever feel a body intertwined with mine as we both drift off to sleep?
Will I ever know love? Will love ever know me?
Will I ever know love - my stomach tickle as you flash your eyes at me?
Will I ever know love - that glowing feeling when we dance cheek to cheek?
Will I know my Soul companion when she enters my life?
Oh, where in the world can she be?
Will I ever know love? Will love ever know me?
Will I ever know love - the unspoken knowing of another across the room?
Will I ever know love to knock and visit without having to leave so soon?
Will I know the quiet beating of my lover's heart in the rush of the world I see?
Will I ever know love? Will love ever know me?
Will I ever know love - your arms around me underneath a starry sky?
Will I ever know love - your hand warm on the small of my back when I cry?
Will the words, "I love you" softly rain on my ears, or is this just a cruel, distant dream?
Will I ever know love? Will love ever know me?
Will I ever know love - a burning passion that simmers till way past dawn?
Will I ever know love - a peaceful refuge where I can never stay too long?
Will I ever hold a heart as deep as mine and as rich as the wide open sea?
Will I ever know love? Will love ever know me?
Will I ever know love? Will she ever know me?

Aria
04:10
|
|||
|
It was the greatest gift of all, at least the greatest one for me. I was 12 years old. She fulfilled all my dreams.
CH: With that new guitar, I knew I'd go far into myself, into my dreams , into life.
Many hours we spent hardly out of sight. Curved body, thin neck, we played into the night. CH
The years, they spun by. We still walked hand in hand - played in the church, on the street, even played with a band. CH
Aria is her name, and still my best friend. She's seen many beginnings with me; carried me through many ends. CH
She hears the song of my heart and sweetly draws it out. She has a way of speaking the truth, be it gentle or loud. CH
That new guitar, is far from new anymore, but she's brought me myself, brought me my dreams, brought me life.

Walkin' On
03:59
|
|||
|
Walking on and I ain't looking back no more, I gotta move on ahead. And you'll go to the place that's calling you.
When I start walking, you know I'll keep walking on. I don't waste no time. 'Cause you send me letters next to never, and I finally made up my mind... that I'm...
Walking on and I ain't looking back no more, I gotta move on ahead. And you'll go to the place that's calling you.
La, la, la, la... (repeat all)

Time For My Baby
03:17
|
|||
|
I've got time for my baby, and she's got time enough for me.
I've got time for my baby, and she's got time enough for me.
When I wake up in the morning my baby is right here next to me.
Well, she goes to work in the morning, and she comes home every night.
I said, she goes to work in the morning and she comes home every night.
You know when my baby's near me we always, we always treat each other right..
Repeat 1st verse.
... When I wake up in the morning, my baby is right here next to me.

Of An Angel
05:51
|
|||
|
Your ice blue eyes see right inside me. My Soul lay out. You read. Hold my heart with gentle hands. Can you handle what you see?
CH: I'm in love with you. I feel love for you. Can you feel the love too, between you and me, between you and me?
We never touch, though our eyes meet. I feel the love from across the floor. Our open hearts may beat in sync, even though my mind may ignore... (CH)
Compassion fills the hearts of saints and I feel yours reaching out to mine. Your tender eyes are of an angel, your voice, your skin, and your smile. (CH)
You smile at me. Our time is over. I close the book we lay out before us. I grab my coat and stand up slowly. Can you feel my yearning for your soft, warm hand upon my shoulder? I count the seconds as the love sinks in. And I carry this image of an angel that came to me when I needed it. (CH)

These Days
03:48
|
|||
|
I fell in love with your eyes, the way they sparkle in moonlight and in sun. Call me old fashion.
I fell in love with your heart, the way it opened seas parted, I swam in. You engulfed me back then, but...
CH: These days, these days, these days all I see is your back towards me, arms folded, looking away, and these days... all I need, you can't give to me. Your focus is miles away these days, these days, these days.
I fell in love with your smile, the way it outshone the sunset in the night. Love on the horizon.
I fell in love with your hands, strong fingers so gently placed in mine. Out of touch, out of time. (CH)
Bridge: Now the color of your eyes escapes me, the sound of your voice. The way your body felt against mine has faded with time, but faded memories are all I have... (CH)

Taste of Your Love
04:14
|
|||
|
At every corner, I look and you're not there, but I know where you are. Passing faces, no familiar stares, but I know where you are.
CH: In my dreams, I see you every night. I see your face every time I close my eyes. In my heart I feel your burning smile and I'll wait for you.
In every sound, I listen for your name, but I know where you are. Many fragrances, but none are quite the same and I know where you are. (CH)
Bridge: I know you're not a fantasy, you're as real as anything can ever be to me.
And everyday, I yearn to hold your hand. I know where you are. A tender kiss, a word from a friend, and I know where you are.
(CH)...I'll wait for you, for the taste of your love.

I Wish You Well
03:52
|
|||
|
I'm sorry, I made you cry last night. I didn't know how to tell you something wasn't quite right. I could feel your sorrow; see the pain in your eyes, and as we wept into tomorrow, I held you tight. I held you tight.
CH: The truth is the hardest thing, to honor inside. If I didn't tell you, I'd be living a lie. I still love you and I wish you well.
I'm sorry, I had to end it this way. But my heart is my guide. It never leads me astray. You showed me passion; lit the fire of desire. And I can hear you asking, "How can this be right? How can this be right?" CH
I'm sorry, I made you cry last night.

Teach me how to love. Give me the strength to open this window. Teach me how to love, to let the light shine in to every dark corner. Teach me how to love.
A faint flicker burns in the far end of this room. The darkness yearns to be awakened from the night. Cold chambers sleep, and wait for a gentle breeze, the tender kiss of morning and daylight. Oh, teach me how to love.
Sunlight streams through revealing the hues of the rainbow, on a painted canvas come true, from heartfelt emotion. Hope comes alive as melodies dance on a ceiling. Imagination arrives to add detail and meaning. Oh, teach me how to love. Oh teach me, please, how to love.
The room now ablaze, consumed by firelight, while hungry flames shoot out across an evening sky. New sparks take hold, each twinkle a song of rejoicing. And so goes the flow, past this pane in a silent voice. Oh, teach me how to love. I said teach me, please, how to love. Oh, teach me how to love. Oh teach me, please, how to love.

The Waiting
03:17
|
|||
|
You never promised a lover for me, but I’ve been waiting far too long.
Another day and I’ll go insane. Tell me what am I doing wrong.
One more day; they’re gonna name me a saint. Oh, I didn’t want to master being alone.
I got my certificate and that’s just great, yeah. But I don’t want this going on and on.
You know I try to practice patience. I even say my prayers at night;
wish on the first star every evening. Am I doing anything right?
My lucky rabbit’s foot ain’t working either. Is there anybody out there who can show me the light?
I’m all alone and I want my baby; someone to keep me warm at night.
Well, I see so many changes in me. I am stronger.
I’ll keep walking this road to somewhere, and hope you’ll join me one sweet day;
Keep searching for that four-leaf clover, and hope the wind will blow you my way.
Until then, I have a place in my heart just ready and waiting for you to call home.
I got so much love for you, my baby, this river flows on and on and on.
Well, I see so many changes in me. I am stronger.
And, I see so many changes. I don’t need to wait any longer.

Nothing But This
04:21
|
|||
|
Rain coming down, I touch your hand.
I’m focused on the sound of your voice in my head.
The world all around us is illusion at best.
Nothing else matters; nothing but this.
Falling asleep I feel your hand,
slowly move down me and my Soul starts to dance;
love overflowing, flooding dry land.
Nothing else matters; nothing but this.
In the center of you and the center of me
is the constant roar and lull of the sea
pushing us on and setting us free to love;
sweet loving.
Your arms wrap around me like a quilt made by hand.
Your kisses cleanse me in a way I can’t comprehend.
We rock on the ocean to the place where time and space end.
Nothing else matters, nothing but this.
In the center of you and the center of me
is the constant roar and lull of the sea
pushing us on and setting us free to love;
sweet loving.
In the center of you and the center of me
is the constant roar and lull of the sea
ever pushing us on and setting us free to love;
sweet loving.
Rain coming down, I hold your hand.

Love Will Carry Me
03:58
|
|||
|
When I wake up all alone in a cold, dark room
I don’t know where I’m going; don’t know where I’ve been or what to do.
Then, I listen to the stillness for a key to something new.
And I call out to my angels to see me through.
Love will carry me. Love will carry me.
Fly away on silent wings, I surrender all my dreams.
Love will carry me. Love will carry me.
If I open my heart I see, love will carry me.
When I feel this achy cavern in the center of myself,
I reach for words. I reach for truth and anything else.
I rock myself as Soul as a baby in the womb.
And I call out to my angels to see me through.
Love will carry me. Love will carry me.
Fly away on silent wings, I surrender all my dreams.
Love will carry me. Love will carry me.
If I open my heart I see, love will carry me.
Wake up from my own tears.
I release the fears.
Cleanse the window of my Soul.
Love will carry me. Love will carry me.
Love will carry me. Love will carry me.

Janie Worm Seattle, Washington
Music is the language of my heart and my favorite form of creative expression. Writing songs all my life, I feel the healing love and truth that come through. I'm humbly grateful. I sing because songs are given to me. I pass them on so that anyone who resonates may also benefit. As we each step into our full light, we encourage others to do the same. Thanks so much for your love & support. Enjoy! ... more
