How Long 04:03
lyrics

How Long written by Heather Hill and Alec Steinwall I can’t seem to get you off of my mind I feel you there Hiding inside I can feel you looking out from my eyes Changing my world Darkening my skies How Long, How Long Before you’re Gone How Long, How Long? I used to see colours in the rain They turned to grey All of them drained Everything that used to taste so sweet Is sour and bruised Fallen fruit How Long, How Long Before you’re Gone How Long, How Long? Get out of here Leave me be, Leave me be Get out of here How Long, How Long Before you’re Gone How Long, How Long? I thought I had shown you to the door But you shook my fear You took even more That same force that’s keeping me alive Has turned against me Speeding my dive How Long, How Long Before you’re Gone How Long, How Long?

27 Heather Hill and Orville Heyn When you’re right You’re so damn right You need a lift A little lipstick punch Kicking back You jump and whirl There’s a big world waiting And it’s a pearl You’re so tough But just enough Dig and Crack Suck the marrow out Red is life And life is stone It’s a road you travel Through lands unknown 27 miles, 27 trials before you’re home again 27 nights, 27 years to find your light and turn it on, turn it on Love devours And in its wake There’s always ten There’s always fifty more Watching you bow then dive There’s a hurricane and It’s got your name 27 miles, 27 trials before you’re home again 27 nights, 27 years to find your light and turn it on A heroine for love’s inventions A Desdemona heart, strong and true 27 miles, 27 trials before you’re home again 27 nights, 27 years to find your light 27 lies, with 27 truths to take your place and when 27 doubts, bring 27 triumphs of the heart You turn it on…you turn me on…you turn me on…

Leuty Station by Heather Hill and Orville Heyn Lifeguard chair’s empty in this small bay Boarded windows, and boats overturned I stand in your light Oh watchful tower carry me tonight No one’s at Leuty Station today I like it that way, I like it that way Alone in the rain and the waves With my thoughts and hopes On this cloudy day Evening sky’s a canvas of charcoal grey Dark clouds rush in, Scatters the people like blowing sand Fishy water churning Waves so high that they’re concerning No one’s at, no one’s at…Fairweather friends have blown away I like it that way, I like it that way Alone in the rain and the waves With my thoughts and hopes On this stormy day There’s a growing feeling I can’t hide Wind nor rain can break my stride Inukshuk whispers in my ear Be strong and never fear There’s no one at, no one at, no one at…Leuty Station today I like it that way, I like it that way Alone in the rain and the waves With my thoughts and hopes On this stormy day The benches are free and left in memory Of loved ones who sat, and watched their children laugh and play Of dogs catching sticks Of families with their picnics No one’s at Leuty Station today…and I like it that way

Last Train 03:30

Last Train by Heather Hill and Orville Heyn Last train, end of a long day Back of the car, piercing blue eyes She feels them burn Is it all in her head? Last stop, an empty station Icy hill, sleeping vineyard Footsteps beating Breaking snow She runs so fast, If ever there’s a time to win a race She runs so fast, If ever there’s a time to win a race it’s now, It’s now, it’s now, it’s now, It’s now, it’s now Last crest, hill’s almost over Hand reaches out, inches away Breathe of red wine Coat smells of smoke Last hour, the church bell’s laughing She feels the heat of his hand, near her face Surge of speed Tasting fright, screaming mercy She runs so fast, If ever there’s a time to win a race She runs so fast, If ever there’s a time to win a race it’s now… It’s now, it’s now, it’s now…It’s now, it’s now To summon without intention Relive without regret I’m longing for a saviour Still running to forget She runs fast, If ever there’s a time to win a race She runs fast, If ever there’s a time to win a race it’s now… It’s now, it’s now, it’s now…It’s now, it’s now it’s now…It’s now, it’s now

Second Chance Heather Hill and Chris Assaad I was all dressed in black Hiding in the back Couldn’t hear the music play But I didn’t say I was falling behind While others’ stars aligned Something was wrong But I carried on because You fail, you fall, you rise again You fail, you fall, you rise again Take a second Take a second chance I found a helping hand Pulled me from the quicksand As I listened I knew My wish had come true With eyes opened wide Colours came alive As I started to hear I broke through my fear You fail, you fall, you rise again You fail, you fall, you rise again Take a second Take a second Take a second Be who you are Hear a voice that’s speaking quietly You fail, you fall, you rise again You fail, you fall, you rise again You fail, you fall, you rise again Take a second Take a second Chance

You Won’t Leave Me by Heather Hill and Orville Heyn Tired No time, time, time To do the things, I was born to do Afraid Worry, worry, worry There’s nothing left of me to go around You You lift me up You give me breath And you won’t leave me no Guilty Never, never, never Good enough for my judge and jury Shame Blame, blame, blame On everything but myself You You lift me up You give me breath And you won’t leave me no You won’t leave me no No one ever thinks They’re beautiful until someone tells them But honey, words won’t make you beautiful, You’ve got to love, and laugh and cry in your own skin Freedom There, there, there Singing softly in my ears You You lift me up You give me breath And you won’t leave me no You won’t leave me no You won’t leave me no

Wading Through Normal 04:02

Wading Through Normal by Heather Hill, Meghan Morrison and Orville Heyn Someday she’ll get to sleep in But today, Jane’s up with the sun She’s back to skipping breakfast, to feed the hungry one Filling his pocket with a tissue and snack How long before she’s back? Does she know…does she know how strong she is? Wading through normal. Does she know…does she know how strong she is? Wading through normal. Someday she’ll turn off her phone But today her work will follow her home She wishes she had a door to close, just to be alone A moment to dream, not just survive How long before it’s five? Does she know…does she know how strong she is? Wading through normal. Does she know…does she know how strong she is? Wading through normal. She’s remarkable in the every day Notable in the always there So loving no matter what she does She’ll take the time to give Someday she’ll just have one job But tonight, Jane needs her second wind She’s back, mending that skirt, she’s always wearing thin A little lift, pinched cheeks for blush How long before she’s flush? Does she know…does she know how strong she is? Wading through normal. Does she know…does she know how strong she is? Wading through normal.

Between the Leather and the Lining 03:00

Between the Leather and the Lining by Heather Hill and Orville Heyn Doesn’t matter if it’s Prada, Coach, Gucci or Kate Spade A good handbag is a must-have You ever wonder what’s inside? There’s a wallet, cell-phone a lipstick tube that’s new A sandwich or a female thing or two Do you ever wonder what’s inside? Between the leather and lining’s your clue Between the leather and the lining’s the true you It’s the perfect little hairclip that keeps your vision clear That yummy stick of gum so loud it pops your every fear If it’s a knock-off or a rip-off from a corner stand or van Every handbag has a story Ever wonder what’s inside? If it’s tired and it’s worn out cause it carries heavy loads You can always find her sister But you’ve got to change up what’s inside Between the leather and lining’s your clue Between the leather and the lining’s the true you It’s the jangling of the change you’ve lost between the seams of time The little black book that knows your past and your courting crime Doesn’t matter if it’s red or gold, Burberry or tweed A handbag is a statement So look at me I’ve got it all Between the leather and lining’s your clue Between the leather and the lining’s the true you It’s the note from you I never read cause I used it for my gum instead A purse, it can be trusted to conceal what was unsaid Between the leather and lining’s your clue Between the leather and the lining’s the true you Doesn’t matter if it’s Prada, Coach, Gucci or Kate Spade

Strawberry Girl (Aug. 8, 1959) by Heather Hill and Orville Heyn Sun’s going down Over Port Elgin town Local band plays Ellington In an outdoor pavilion He looks down the dance aisle He sees her warm smile Could he have this dance or maybe two? “He’s not smooth but he’s handsome” He’ll never forget that girl, He’ll never forget that girl That Strawberry, Strawberry Girl The next day they meet At the beach in that heat Esther Williams would be proud She swims out from the crowd To his disbelief Her cap’s a berry and a leaf She’s got a movie star shine And a strawberry beach bag He’ll never forget that girl, He’ll never forget that girl That Strawberry, Strawberry Girl… That Strawberry, Strawberry Girl He returns back home He’s busy, but feels alone He waits three long months to reach her With a letter ‘cause he’s a teacher The rest is history 50 years of mystery Two daughters and a son Six grandchildren strong He’ll never forget that girl, He’ll never forget that girl That Strawberry, Strawberry Girl, That Strawberry, Strawberry Girl You ask what’s their secret Oh there’s no secret Love, god’s faith and laughter And a strawberry beach bag

Never Grow Old by Heather Hill and Orville Heyn Young turns old Hot turns cold Strong turns weak Want to go to sleep Clear turns hazy Taut turns lazy Fast turns slow Fears can grow Sharp to dull Secure to fragile Loud to distant Gone in an instant Power of Time to change, refine Balance in Life from dust to sunshine To age and never grow old Wet turns dry Clear turns sty Hope despair Whitening hair Remember forget Work hard no debt Computer confuser Feel like a loser Straight to bent Own now rent Jeans to sweater Alone or together Power of Time to change, refine Balance in Life from dust to sunshine To age and never grow old Smart to Wise Earth to Skies Spoken sung Time for young Burn not fade History made Lived and cared Values shared Price all paid Purpose stayed Fire started Never departed Power of Time to change, refine Balance in Life from dust to sunshine To age and never grow old
