I wake to "magnolias sweet and fresh",
Lines of poetry on my breath,
You were here but you have stolen away.
My inspiration is an evening star,
So come to me wherever you are,
I will wait for you tonight alone in the dark…

I am waking from a dream,
I am choking on a scream,
You were trying to show me something.

When I was younger I was always looking for someone’s approval.

On her album Lighthouse & The Impossible Love (2013)

You're still shimmering and leading me on…

I'd stop a train just to watch you get off,
Don't leave me alone with my whiskey thoughts.
