Mediocre Blues
03:32
|
|||
|
It's not up, it's not down, it's something in between
Not a smile, not a frown, staring at the tv screen
Cause the silence is more than I can take
And old habits are so hard to break
I have tried for so long to ignite the flame
Try to write a new song, the words just come out the same
I'm a coward, a lier and a fake
And old habits are so hard to break
Give me strength, give me something I can cling to
Cause I'm sick and tired and scared of every one of you
And a girl's heart is so easily broken
And old habits are so hard to break
I'm sitting around the house waiting for my life to start
I could go out and put myself on the line but it seems I don't have the heart
Give me strength, give me something I can cling to
Cause I'm sick and tired and scared of every one of you
And a girl's heart is so easily broken
And old habits are so hard to break

A Few More Days
04:57
|

|
Staring real hard at the orange light
Cold is filling my place tonight
Candle's burning down real low
Just a few more days till I go
While I wait at the starting gate
Break my heart as I tempt my fate
Still no answers and still I wait
Just a few more days till I go
Just a few more days till I'm on my way
May the weeds fall form my heart that day
May the clouds part and the sun shine my way
Letting go is so hard to do
When I've held on so hard for you
To just tell me you love me too
Just a few more days till I go
My tears will heal and my feet will walk
Through frozen fields but I won't talk
Just a few more days till I'm on my way
May the weeds fall form my heart that day
May the clouds part and the sun shine my way
I'll hold myself and remember why
That part of me just had to die

Cruel to Me
04:39
|
|||
|
Be so cruel to me
Don't you be so cruel to me
Can't you see what what you're doing here
Don't you be so cruel to me
You are a charmer who weaves a spell
I'm a leaf on a river that's flowing
Down, down, down, don't let me drown
Your trust will be my saviour
I want to surrender to the flow
But I don't trust where it's going
I see your heart it is full and it is true
Let me climb the bank and be close to you
Be so cruel to me
Don't you be so cruel to me
Can't you see what what you're doing here
Don't you be so cruel to me
I've been here before and I'll be here again
Wishing, hoping and praying
That you'll be free to believe in me
And trust that I care for you
Be so cruel to me
Don't you be so cruel to me
Can't you see what what you're doing here
Don't you be so cruel to me

Lay Down My Old Guitar
04:38
|
|||
|
I'm gonna lay down my old guitar
Gonna lay down my old guitar
Oh I wish I could tie it to my side
And take it along with me
There's no one to cry for me
There's no one to cry for me
I've wandered so far away don't you see
And there's no one to cry for me
I'm sick in a lonesome bed
I'm sick in a lonesome bed
There's no one to hold my aching head
And I'm sick in a lonesome bed
I'm telling the world goodbye
I'm telling the world goodbye
I'm telling the world and my dear little girl
I'm telling the world goodbye

I know I've been changed
I know I've been changed
I know I've been changed
Angels in heaven gonna sign my name
Angels in heaven gonna sign my name
Well, I know I got religion,
Lord knows I'm not ashamed
Well, a holy ghost is my witness
And the angels gonna sign my name
Lord knows I've been converted
Lord knows I've been redeemed
Well, you can wake me up in the midnight hour
I'm gonna tell ya just a what I seen

Two More Bottles of Wine
03:11
|
|||
|
We came out west together with a common desire
The fever we had migtha set the west coast on fire
Two months later got trouble in mind
My baby moved out and left me behind
But it's all right 'cause it's midnight
And I got two more bottles of wine
The way he left sure turned my head around
Seemed like overnight she just up and put me down
Ain't gonna let it bother me today
I been workin' and I'm too tired anyway
But it's all right 'cause it's midnight
And I got two more bottles of wine
I'm sixteen hundred miles from the people I know
Been doin' all I can but opportunity sure come slow
Lord I'd be in the sun all day
But I'm sweepin' out a warehouse in west L.A.
But it's all right 'cause it's midnight
And I got two more bottles of wine

Lazy Farmer
04:55
|
|||
|
Tell You a little story and it won't take long,
'Bout a lazy farmer who wouldn't hoe his corn.
The reason why I never could tell,
That young man was always well.
He planted his corn in the month of June.
By July it was up to his eyes.
Come September, came a big frost.
And all the young man's corn was lost.
His courtship had just begun.
Said: "Young man, have you hoed some corn?"
"Well I tried and I tried, and I tried in vain.
"But I don't believe I raised one grain."
"Why do you come for me to wed?
"You, can't even make your own corn grain.
"Single I am, and will remain.
"A lazy man, I won't maintain."
He turned his back and walked away.
Saying: "Little miss, you'll rue the day.
"You'll rue the day that you were born.
"For givin' me the devil 'cos I wouldn't hoe corn."

Wedding Night
06:22
|
|||
|
Woke up early this morning on my day to shine
Daddy drinking coffee, reading his paper, trying to pass the time
Mama in the kitchen, burning up the telephone lines
Oh, get the ceremony rolling, I'm ready for my wedding night
Daddy paid a fortune for my white wedding gown
Seems a little silly when it's only his tradition now
Back down deep in my suitcase I got a black silk gown
Oh, get the ceremony rolling, I'm ready for my wedding night
Oooo-oooo-oooh I want my wedding night
Here comes Daddy's little girl down the aisle, she's all dressed in white
Oh no no, Mama, there's no need to cry
Just get the ceremony rolling, I'm ready for my wedding night
Don't look once boy, don't think it twice
Cause after tonight, the guy will be all mine all mine all mine all mine
Hear them chapel bells a-ringing, hear them choir boys a-singing
Get me to the church on time
Oh, get the ceremony rolling, I'm ready for my wedding night
Oooo-oooo-oooh I want my wedding night
Oh, here comes Daddy's little girl down the aisle, she's all dressed in white
Oh no, Mama, there's no need to cry
Just get the ceremony rolling, I'm ready for my wedding night
My wedding night
My wedding night
Ooh, my wedding night

Time

While it's on my mind
The words are hard to find
There are just some things seems missing in my life
There's a buzzing on my room
That I can't seem to find
Clouds passing in the sky aint never coming back
I need some time
I've been racing so long, need to do some pack peddling yeah
I need some time, I need some time
I've been staying with old friends
We've been drinking all night
Got me thinking about everyone I've had
I need some love
Need to tell someone all the things I've been thinking of
I need some love, I need some love
Grass is always greener
Nothing's ever right
I hope that I don't fall
Too far tonight
Grass is always greener
But one day I'll see
Only thing between there
And here is me
While it's on my mind
The words are hard to find
I'm just wishing tomorrow would never come
I need some time
I want everything while everything's just slipping through my hands
I need some time, I need some time

I don't know if you're the one
I don't know if you're the one
I don't know if you're the one
Baby, if you're the one
Things can always get better
Things can easily change
I feel good when we're together
But sometimes I feel strange
I don't know if you're the one
I don't know if you're the one
I don't know if you're the one
Baby, if you're the one
Why am I thinking?
How can I write this song?
It's your heart I'll be breaking
But what if I've known all along
I don't know if you're the one
I don't know if you're the one
I don't know if you're the one
Baby, if you're the one

suzannah espie Melbourne, Australia
Espie’s sound is an intoxicating mix of country, folk, blues, and soul. A gentle, sweet trill that can
move grown men to
tears one moment, or an Aretha-esque hellcat belt that can raise the roof the next; however she
sings it though, it’s still unmistakeably Suzannah Espie
"There aren't too many songwriters able to match meaning with melody as well as Suzannah Espie"
Charles Jenkins
