Alaska ©2005 Alice Bierhorst/BMI Are you sleeping Can you hear me There's no meaning If you're not near me Far from home Free-falling The great unknown Hear it calling CHORUS Like ALASKA Like ALASKA All the hours We're apart Filled with aching At the start If there's hope, dear Let me know it If you know, dear Why don't you show it Like ALASKA Like ALASKA Like ALASKA Like ALASKA Static in the air No reception at all Static in the air When the snow starts to fall Static in the air No life at all Are you sleeping Can you hear me There's no meaning If you're not near me Far from home Free-falling The great unknown Hear it calling Like ALASKA Like ALASKA Like ALASKA Like ALASKA Static in the air No reception at all Static in the air When the snow starts to fall Static in the air No life at all

It's Too Late ©2005 Alice Bierhorst/BMI I wanna know the reason Nothing is clear at the end Right when your body is turning Back where it came from again IT'S TOO LATE IT'S TOO LATE All of the horses are running Stampeding straight to your door All of the engines are gunning Now you don't ride anymore IT'S TOO LATE IT'S TOO LATE IT'S TOO LATE IT'S TOO LATE IT'S TOO LATE The angels are cruel in their cunning Hiding their hand in plain sight Now when the maker is coming That's when they show you the light IT'S TOO LATE IT'S TOO LATE IT'S TOO LATE IT'S TOO LATE IT'S TOO LATE La-da-da-da-da-da-la-da-da La-da-da-da-da-da-la-da-da I wanna know the reason Nothing is clear at the end Right when your body is turning Back where it came from again IT'S TOO LATE IT'S TOO LATE IT'S TOO LATE IT'S TOO LATE IT'S TOO LATE La-da-da-da-da-da-la-da-da etc.

Fly Little Angel ©2005 Alice Bierhorst/BMI Once I was hurting Unwilling to try Opened the curtain And I saw an angel fly by I was so lonesome Too lonesome to bear Now I'm surrounded By joy, joy everywhere CHORUS Fly, FLY LITTLE ANGEL, there's so much love Fly, FLY LITTLE ANGEL, find someone else worthy of Fly, FLY LITTLE ANGEL, your work is through I'm loving you When you've been unable To see the forest for the trees A seat at love's table Makes you weak, weak in the knees CHORUS Once I was certain I'd run out of time Opened the curtain And I saw an angel fly by CHORUS

Bury Him Down ©2005 Alice Bierhorst/BMI This place that I call home Littered with flowers and stones Where the grass grows greenest That's where they laid his bones That's where they laid his bones With every window thrown open With every door ajar Headlights on the ceiling Like a shooting star Bread cooling in a basket Knife sharp til it shone Heavy weighs the silence When you're all alone When you're all alone Not every martyr will be sainted Not every martyr is named In the shed, fresh painted Hanging by a chain Hanging by a chain Now we bring him flowers Lay them on the ground And if the water rises higher We'll have to BURY HIM DOWN We'll have to BURY HIM DOWN Down…down

What a Difference (The Morning Makes) ©2005 Alice Bierhorst/BMI WHAT A DIFFERENCE THE MORNING MAKES Night cast a spell day breaks No headlines made at dawn When virtue turns back on WHAT A DIFFERENCE THE MORNING MAKES WHAT A DIFFERENCE THE MORNING MAKES Warm night but hands are shaking Grateful the morning's breaking Pulled a reverie of Something that cannot be WHAT A DIFFERENCE THE MORNING MAKES WHAT A DIFFERENCE THE MORNING MAKES CHORUS WHAT A DIFFERENCE THE MORNING MAKES Mercifully applies the brakes Shines a spotlight the master makes WHAT A DIFFERENCE THE MORNING MAKES Some rivers can't be crossed Or everything is lost Held in a sacred trust Until the flesh makes dust WHAT A DIFFERENCE THE MORNING MAKES WHAT A DIFFERENCE THE MORNING MAKES CHORUS WHAT A DIFFERENCE THE MORNING MAKES Night cast a spell day breaks No headlines made at dawn When virtue turns back on WHAT A DIFFERENCE THE MORNING MAKES WHAT A DIFFERENCE THE MORNING MAKES CHORUS

Over and Over ©2005 Alice Bierhorst/BMI OVER AND OVER I think I've found the light OVER AND OVER I'm drawn back to the night Singin' low, sweet and low Dream of a station That's only in my head That glows like creation And raises up the dead Singin' low, sweet and low Singin' low, sweet and low Behind the station An abandoned railroad yard That offers up salvation When the moon grows hard Singin' low, sweet and low Singin' low, sweet and low Under the willow I see you lying there Dirt for a pillow Moonlight in your hair Singin' low, sweet and low Singin' low, sweet and low Never let me go Never let me OVER AND OVER I think I've found the light

Jubilee 04:13
Jubilee ©2005 Alice Bierhorst/BMI There you were at the bottom of the hill Throwing stones in the well The day was fading, fading so fast Like a fire that burned down to ash There's a rumor that your heart is cold Too soon you've grown old The day was fading, fading so fast Like a fire that burned down to ash Like a fire that burned down to ash A fire that burned down to ash CHORUS There's nothing out there but the past A distant fire that burned down to ash At the silver JUBILEE You danced with me The day was fading, fading so fast Like a fire that burned down to ash At the silver JUBILEE You danced with me The day was fading, fading so fast Like a fire that burned down to ash Like a fire that burned down to ash A fire that burned down to ash CHORUS There you were at the bottom of the hill Throwing stones in the well The day was fading, fading so fast Like a fire that burned down to ash Like a fire that burned down to ash A fire that burned down to ash

All That I Am ©2005 Alice Bierhorst/BMI This is ALL THAT I AM, boys This is ALL THAT I AM When the record stops Play it again This is ALL THAT I AM This is all that she wrote, boys This is all that she wrote When the record starts Listen real close This is ALL THAT I AM Rock of ages Hear how the heart beats This heart beats strong Turning the pages Each day makes history It's here then it's gone This is ALL THAT I AM, boys This is ALL THAT I AM When the record stops Play it again This is ALL THAT I AM Called to remember All of the hours now gone with the wind The last dying ember There is no ending that doesn't begin This is ALL THAT I AM, boys This is ALL THAT I AM When the record stops Play it again This is ALL THAT I AM This is ALL THAT I AM, boys This is ALL THAT I AM When the record stops Play it again This is ALL THAT I AM
