8. BRING IT ON SORROW
Words and music by Rebecca Kelley

Try to understand the master plan
Or perhaps there isn’t one
And we’re all afloat
In a murky moat
Between cliffs and barren sand
Where is paradise
Is it in your eyes
Or is it inside of me
Do I search for it
Do I go within
Or is it right where I am

From boat to desert sand
I’d rather walk upon dry land
From the realms of extremes
To find what’s in between

But I go wandering
In a delirious past
I could be sauntering
I must be moving too fast
What did I miss in your eyes
This came as such a surprise

Did I lure you?
Well you lured me too
Did we move too fast?You think you know me
Because of that
You say your heart it isn’t free
I say you let me down easy

Now bring it on sorrow
I won’t wait until tomorrow
Let me lift you up not weigh you down
You’ll make your way you know how
I’ll be on my way now
I give it all away

From boat to desert sand
I’d rather walk upon dry land
Where touch is healing
Loving is feeling
Where I can lift you up
I don’t weigh you down
I’ll make my way I know how
You’ll be on your way now
I give it all away

Nothing We Say EP
by Courtney Hartman

I never get sick of listening. Courtney is an amazing writer. Her lyrics don't waste a single word. She could carry this whole EP with just the strength of her voice & guitar, but her band rocks too! Britt Arnesen

Cantando
