Sabrina 02:45
Sabrina Sabrina picked me up to go to school and held my hand along the way we picked up chestnuts and we threw them in the pond and she would tell me bout the days when she was young and I wished that I was old just like Sabrina Sabrina Sabrina-na-na-na Sabrina liked to talk about the boys that she would kiss inside the cupboards of her house where it was dark and wet and how she liked it she would lick her lipgloss with her tongue and I wished that I had lipgloss on like Sabrina Sabrina Sabrina-na-na-na I wonder where she is now Is she on a trip to see all the world and how does she look do you think she'd like to be my best friend I think she could walk me home from work again Sabrina Sabrina Sabrina-na-na-na

Love Show 03:27
Love Show Last time we met you said you missed me we talked in my bed and then you kissed me minutes float by in my mind when I'm with you you said that you'd make more time I think you're going to but you just let me go I fall for your love show if you did what you say we'd be off on a trip today my minds giving motion to your poor little frozen heart my minds giving motion to your poor little frozen heart What was the thing bout your 'oasis' you said they were all dry wells and I'm your wet everlasting kiss I imagine the dawn waking up in your arms it's not hard to dream of love when you're putting on all your charms but you just let me go I fall for your love show if you did what you say we'd be off on a trip today my minds giving motion to your poor little frozen heart my minds giving motion to your poor little frozen heart (where are we, where we going now? Why are we, why are we stopping now?)

Sleep Tight 03:03
Sleep Tight A lover on this side of town she sits in her chair alone and feels the softness of her gown the candle gets dimmer then the light flickers by her fingers as she plays until the dawn Lay, lay your head down in the night lay, lay in your arms and sleep tight She looks in the mirror still She talks to herself as if she knew the secret of her smile she undresses slowly then and wraps in the sheets until they warm her like a lovers arms Lay, lay your head down in the night Lay, lay in your arms and sleep tight

Oh-la-la 03:47
Oh-la-la Cracking creme brule and drinking wine the way to dine in old Paris I can't remember where I am I had a plan, but c'est la vie a man approaches "Can I walk with you awhile, mon cheri?" I cock my head and keep on walking, reply "Je ne sais pas." Ooh-la-ooh-la-la-la-la Contemplating Christ in Sacre Coeur this man's still following me he is flirting in between my prayers this homme etrange is killing me he asks if I would like a beer in broken English, no less I say yes, he goes to fetch them I run like hell and don't look back there Ooh-la-ooh-la-la-la-la Et je voudrais un cafe, monsieur Et je voudrais l'amor Et je voudrais la vie solitaire Et je voudrais un translator Ooh-la-la-la-ooh-la-la-la-la-la Walking by the Seine It's nearing midnight I don't care, I like the air I feel romantic, I feel tall I think I could fall for this town my watch has stopped and I don't think I want this night to end a man approaches asks, "Quel heur est-il?" and I say "Je ne sais pas" Ooh-la-ooh-la-la-la-la

Wasting Time 03:25
Wasting Time Once on the road a strange young man caught my eye he was walkin kinda closely by my side he was looking pretty nice, and I saw him glancing twice so i asked him kindly if he had a wife Wasting Time So tired of wasting time So sir if you don't mind The love of my life may be the next in line Once on the job another man bumped my bod he had dropped his foamy latte on the floor he was the cutest in the store big, bright, blue eyes, need I say more so I asked him if our children would be poor Wasting time So tired of wasting time So sir if you don't mind The love of my life may be the next in line There's a feeling There's a touch There's just something about love and I want it so much I'm gonna track it down on the busy sidewalk Sniff it out from the moment we talk I'm not wasting time in my love life anymore Once at the bar I saw a man from afar and I thought that I had seen him once before He walked up and took a seat and I said, "It's nice to meet you." He said "Honey, we've been on two dates before." Wasting time So tired of wasting time So sir if you don't mind The love of my life may be the next in line I said the love of my life may be the next in line

Alarm Clock 04:07
Alarm Clock I looked at you I think it was yesterday Uh-huh a lazy wednesday We slept all morning till noon At eleven on the dot I woke and saw you But couldn't recognize you at all in the new light Every morning I fall in love with someone other than who I trusted last night Your hand brushed my back as if I knew you but it felt like a stranger's who had lost the way to my breast The wind chilled my skin I clung to the mattress wall I knew that if I had to fall I'd find my way to the ground Every morning I fall in love with someone other than who I trusted last night Oh we go our seperate ways at the end of everyday we say goodbye Oh we rock and then we roll to the opposite bed poles we dream alone But every morning I fall in love with someone other than who I trusted last night The awkward moment passed we moved to assigned seats the place where our heads and feet align in perfect rows the mold took it's shape our breath took a monotone you let out a quiet mone I felt as if it were mine Every morning I fall in love with someone other than who I trusted last night last night last night I trusted you last night I trusted you

My Angel 02:13
My Angel Lullabye Close your eyes tonight I am here to sing you to sleep My baby you look tired tonight Quiet now, my love Listen to my song Close your eyes, my dove There's an angel waiting by the door She's got your suitcase packed with more love than you'll ever need where she is taking you this evening Take her hand, my love You can stand and walk We'll be fine, my dove It's your time to fly Lullabye, in her hands above Did you really go? I can feel you here. There's an angel waiting by the door I know I've known her once before She's watching over me and she is singing in my ear. Lullabye

about

I recorded this album with my brother in his room in 2004. We had a lot of fun. Most of these songs are the very first songs I had written - other than silly ditties that my bro and I recorded on tapes in our childhood. We got together and played around with them. I'm so glad we did.
