Wilderness 04:52
Listen as the leaves crunch I'm making my way, making my way Every single footstep counts Lead me down the river Smooth it down, smooth it down Skipping four or five times now But I need a break from this hallowed place The dawn appears in silence A voice calling from the horizon out to me A melody I hear a whisper saying A voice calling from the horizon out to me A melody Listen with all eyes closed I'm finding my way, finding my way Treading soft and sure and deep Feeding on this forest Get what I need, what I need But still I know it's not enough It's been so long since I've seen your face Morning's breaking (c) 2011 - Kelci E. Smith (ASCAP)

I stood in the clearning Sun over my head You were so endearing Nightingale sing for me You may think I'm crazy Maybe you should join me Just to feel light and heady Nightingale sing for me Sing a little melody for me (c) 2011 - Kelci E. Smith (ASCAP)

Desiderium 03:58
Look at the clock Tick tock, tick tock Sunrise coming up behind those hills I think you know it's time you stop It's time to say Hello, hey Hello, hey Desiderium We're all digging, digging trenches of delirium We gotta find a way, gotta find a way And I think it's time to say (c) 2011 - Kelci E. Smith (ASCAP)

Reverie 03:31
Reverie Is this really happening to me All this time I thought I had the key But I didn't Say the word And I'm lost in some enchanted place Wild flowers and fields of Queen Anne's Lace I'm dreaming Reverie Don't you pick on me I need something better You may be amused When I sing the blues But I feel so much better We'll see how this goes Substantial Is a word that I know very well And I guess that time will tell The story I figure All of the impossibilities Are quite possible you see It's funny (c) 2011 - Kelci E. Smith (ASCAP)

Mon Ami 02:31
What to say To you my friend What to say Today You have shown Grace today You've shown grace Today Que vous dire Mon Ami Que dire aujourd'hui Vous avez montré La grâce aujourd'hui La grâce aujourd'hui (c) 2011 - Kelci E. Smith (ASCAP)

This House 03:52
Evidence that someone’s been here I don’t mind a crumb or two Sweep the stair Have a laugh Trying to do some good Growing growing growing This house is moaning moaning moaning A mess is home to me Don’t tarry long I need you here Come make some dust with me Sit on the stoop Have a drink I’m trying to do some good (c) 2011 - Kelci E. Smith (ASCAP)

She said Quiet your voice, quiet down I am afraid of your fate Dangerous is the sound that you make I can't take it anymore Little one stop putting up a fight Stop your crying it'll be alright Never, never will I let you go Safe forever I'll protect your soul I said Quiet your voice, quiet down I'm not afraid of my fate Dangerous is the sound that I make I can't take it anymore (c) 2011 - Kelci E. Smith (ASCAP)

Wrung and possibly broken Wrung and possibly broken Wrung and possibly broken Wrung and possibly broken, but do stay true (c) 2011 - Kelci E. Smith (ASCAP)

What is this feeling Like a fish caught on a hook No time to get untied So I wiggle on this line It's troubling But maybe on the other side Of this darn creek is light Gotta take a bite And see if my hunches are right I'm not sure But who is I'm a swimming To the boat And I'm thinking This might work out A sudden end may be in store But I can't breath under water no more So long fishy friends It's time to go Can I apologize For stinking up this place It's not supposed to be so stagnant It is a disgrace I'm so sorry Yes I am But this time I'll do better In my true habitat Maybe you're confused But really I cannot fix that It's on you (c) 2011 - Kelci E. Smith (ASCAP)

There's a place where no man goes Human bodies can't behold Warriors and kings of old Gather here their tales are told Babies meet their mothers here Mother meet their babies here In forms of perfect splendor Their tales are told Their tales are told Victories and dungeons deep Stories of joy and grief All are passing memories Where tales are told Death and pain do not reside The groom dances with his bride You should see the love in their eyes Where tales are told (c) 2011 - Kelci E. Smith (ASCAP)

So this is the end Let's see what's 'round the bend This river has its secrets deep I can't unlock its mystery Lovely to be here I hold this place so dear Now I can see clearly I know what is behind me Bring your gold You have gained Melt it down Let it rain In the ground will grow a golden tree River run your course For better or for worse This unknown isn't easy But promise you will keep me Bring your gold You have gained Melt it down Let it rain In the ground will grow a golden tree Remember this All this pain Doesn't waste a moment To mark this time We'll grow a tree golden To mark this time We'll grow a tree golden (c) 2011 - Kelci E. Smith (ASCAP)
