“The sun has kissed your face
Your tears in my hair
You say it’s time to go, my friend
You feel it in the air
Like the moon upon the water
Gives diamonds to the sea
And I pray that when the snow is gone
You’ll return to me
Through this bitter, bitter cold
I always thought that I’d have you to hold me
Hold me through the storm
And keep me warm
Through this bitter, bitter cold.”
— Tara MacLean, “In the Wings” —
“What are we doing here
Naked on the floor
‘Cause I want more.”
— Tara MacLean, “More” —
“And though you never will be mine
I will live to know
That you have touched me
Once upon a time.”
— Tara MacLean, “For You” —
“If you could see me now
I wonder what you’d say
Would you turn to smile at me
Would you turn away
…
And you will never know until you’re
Standing in my shoes
Just how much you can love someone
And how much you can lose
And if I could make you turn around
And see how we were then
Just one look into my eyes
You’d fall in love again
If you could see me now.”
— Tara MacLean, “If You Could” —
“Walking along on this highway of shame
Tied to the tracks, expecting a train
So much to lose, no one to blame
But me.
That’s me.”
— Tara MacLean, “That’s Me” —
“Oh, funny how
We spent this time waiting around
It’s a lie
Everything you felt till now.
…
Same place I’ve always been
Just lost on these roads again
Just as I got near the end
I keep falling in the holes you left in me.”
— Tara MacLean, “Jericho” —
“Do I stay and do I fight
Is it wrong when nothing’s right, oh
Is it just the closet light
I leave on for you.
Oh leaves they fall, they go
So far sometimes
Do I blame the wind
Or the tree that let them go
Or do I
Wave goodbye
Settling.”
— Tara MacLean, “Settling” —
