Do You Dream
©2007 Alice Bierhorst/BMI
I'm always dreaming that you're dreaming of me
I'm always dreaming bout the way it could be
When our little boat sets sail on the see
CHORUS
DO YOU DREAM about me?
DO YOU DREAM about me?
There is a place that everyone knows
It's not a place where everyone goes
Where the more that you love, the more that it grows
CHORUS
I'm always dreaming that you're dreaming of me
I'm always dreaming that one day I will see you in my dreams
Someday I'll show you what it means to be free
I'll take your hand, you will follow my lead
And we will have everything that we'll ever need
CHORUS

Thank You
©2007 Alice Bierhorst/BMI
I wake up in the morning
My head's in a cacophony
I turn it over to you and you
Turn it into a symphony
CHORUS
I just want to THANK YOU
You really know how to dance
I just want to THANK YOU
You always give me a chance
When I need a chance
Sometimes I feel like I'm
Living in a different time
I look over at you
I can tell that you can read my mind
CHORUS
I just want to THANK YOU
You really give me relief
I just want to THANK YOU
You always help me believe
What I need to believe
You came out of the blue
Like a golden-haloed angel of love
Pulled me out of my blues
And way up into the stars above
CHORUS
I just want to THANK YOU
You really give me relief
I just want to THANK YOU
You always help me believe
What I need to believe
I just want to THANK YOU
You really know how to dance
I just want to THANK YOU
You always give me a chance
When I need a chance

I Will Always Love You (When I'm Alone)
©2007 Alice Bierhorst/BMI
There's no honor in deception
But the heart can not be bound
For every rule there's an except
And a reason to be found
I can never say the words
You can read them in my eyes
For fear of being overheard
I can only whisper lies
CHORUS
I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU
When I'm alone
I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU
This world is not our home
I can never love you in company
But I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU
When I'm alone
The hours pass so quickly
Of hidden moments life is made
And the wheel is ever-turning
Spinning softly to the grave
CHORUS
The night may be long
And the storm may be strong
I won't steer us wrong
We'll sail clear to the end
Now the leaves are gold and burning
As the summer slips away
But the heart will keep on yearning
For the will to find a way
CHORUS

I Don't WantTo Be Free
©2004 Alice Bierhorst/BMI, Bill De Main/Jollybottom Music/Bug Music/ASCAP, and Nicole Jenkinson/PRS
Everywhere I go I see your face
Everywhere I go I hear your name
Lost in another lonely crowd
I turn around
And I see
I DON'T WANT TO BE FREE
Every little word rings in my ears
All the things we did down through the years
All of the lovers hand in hand
Like we used to be
Now look at me
I DON'T WANT TO BE FREE
I always thought that I could make it on my own
But it's no good, living your life all alone
Wish that I had known before
If only we had a second chance
I'd make you see how it could be
I DON'T WANT TO BE FREE
I DON'T WANT TO BE FREE
I DON'T WANT TO BE FREE

Come Little Baby
©2007 Alice Bierhorst/BMI
COME LITTLE BABY
Come into this strange world
You are such a brave girl
To grace us with your life
Rest from your journey
Your body must be weary
Now the day is turning
Stay and rest awhile
CHORUS
COME LITTLE BABY
All the world's a-sleepin'
Far across the heavens
Deep into the night
You will be a teacher
You will an anchor
You will meet the darkness
And fill it with your light
COME LITTLE BABY
Come and let me show you
All the ones who knows you
Will know you all your days
So you'll never go hungry
For love and affection
We will help you carry
Carry the weight
CHORUS
COME LITTLE BABY
Life's a grand illusion
A beautiful confusion
Sweet and sad combined
Don't worry 'bout the sorrow
Live like there's no tomorrow
Love until your heart breaks
Then love a little more

The Vigil
©2007 Alice Bierhorst/BMI
Do you delight in open water
Do you delight in scattered fortune
Keeping a vigil
So far from home
All of the answers tucked in corners
Between the stones, making mortar
Keeping a vigil
So far from home
Now the room is empty
But the band plays on
Rolling back the years
Til the break of dawn
This stretch of road, a charcoal ribbon
Always at night thoughts come unbidden
Keeping a vigil
So far from home
Now the room is empty
But the band plays on
Rolling back the years
Til the break of dawn
Now the singer
Has become the song
It all falls away
Then the moment's gone
The moment's gone
Now the room is empty
But the band plays on
Rolling back the years
Til the break of dawn
Now the singer
Has become the song
It all falls away
Then the moment's gone
The moment's gone

The Secret
©2007 Alice Bierhorst/BMI
The sun rose early the day was fine
I stepped down to the waterline
The sun rose early the day was fair
Pressed my lips to the water there
CHORUS
The water is clear and the water is cool
Descends from the highest mountain pool
The water is cool and the water is clear
The only one my secret to hear
No one knows and no one sees
Sunrise finds me on my knees
Press my lips to the wandering brook
Words spill out like from a book
CHORUS
My love for you will never die
But if we meet I'll be struck blind
My love for you is a burning thing
I can only sigh and sing
CHORUS

So Alone
©2007 Alice Bierhorst/BMI
I have my pride in the morning
Somehow it died by the evening
I've been SO ALONE
I've been SO ALONE
I've got a smile for everybody
I'd walk a mile to help somebody
I've been SO ALONE
I've been SO ALONE
CHORUS
If you walk in my shoes
Don't be surprised if you're singing' the blues
If you drink my wine
Don't be surprised if you lose your mind
If you shed my tears
Don't be surprised if you're crying for years
Everywhere I go I hear the laughter
Everyone I know is happy ever after
I've been SO ALONE
I've been SO ALONE
CHORUS
I've been SO ALONE
You know it goes without saying
I've been SO ALONE
Don't you know I've got no one to help me
Carry the load
Carry the load
Carry the load
I have my pride in the morning
Somehow it died by the evening
I've been SO ALONE
I've been SO ALONE
CHORUS
I've been SO ALONE
I've been SO ALONE
I've been SO ALONE

Anchors Away
©2007 Alice Bierhorst/BMI
The sailor takes the captain by the hand
And says, "look, land".
Even in the darkest night there's a light
In the sand
CHORUS
ANCHORS AWAY
ANCHORS AWAY
ANCHORS AWAY
ANCHORS AWAY
Curling in the furnace are the leaves of yesteryear
Shooting blanks into the sun with a gun you can't hear
CHORUS
Please don't turn away
Please don't turn away
Even when the cord is turn and frayed
All this fatalism
I don't believe it all comes down
To tiny little numbers
Etched in grooves that make no sound
CHORUS
