I'm so tired when I get home everyday
That it's all I can do not to sleep right away
Well I went to school like they said that I should
And I got a job like they said I would
But as you get older tell me how
You hang onto what you truly care about
Oh, I want to go home
Where the wind blows
And I'm not in an office every day
I can't live this way
Oh, I want to go home
Where the struggle is
Where you have to fight to survive
So at least you know you're alive
It's time to go
Because I'm going crazy here in my troubled mind
I need natural light
I need loving at night
I need a passionate life
Can you hear me asking
Can you hear me asking
Can you hear me asking

Separate Ways
03:02

Lately I've had some unsettling dreams
And when I wake up there's no one next to me
We've gone separate ways
separate ways
separate ways
Oh
And you called me just the other day
As the years pass you get further away
We went separate ways
separate ways
separate ways
Oh
But before I met you I already knew
Loving's part of life and losing too
We all go separate ways
separate ways
separate ways
And it's ok
oh

Old Broken Heart
04:29
|

|
The marriage of the man I used to love
I imagine it
What will I wear
Who will be there
Though I haven't got the invitation yet
How will it be
How will it feel
How will I deal with my old broken heart
I knew this was coming
But that doesn't make it easy
for me
I knew I couldn't have you
And I never meant to love you
But I do
The day I met the man I used to love
I remember it
How he was kind
His eyes met mine
Though I didn't know that he was taken yet
And over time
How hard I tried
To hide my old broken heart
I knew this was coming
But that doesn't make it easy
for me
I knew I couldn't have you
And I never meant to love you
But I do
Life without the man I used to love
I'm living it
And it's all right
Most of the time
Even though I know he'll never be mine
I'm growing up
I'm growing old
Time to let go of my old broken heart
I knew this was coming
But that doesn't make it easy
for me
I knew I couldn't have you
And I never meant to love you
But I do
Oh

Snowbound

It's a cold night out there
So come on in
And let's pretend
We don't know how this ends, we don't know how this ends
You can play my guitar
Like we're old friends
We're making jokes
Like we don't know how this ends, we don't know how this ends
But when I wake up I'll wish I
Knew you well enough to say what's on my mind
So hit the road traveling music man
I wonder if you'll ever wish you could see me again
And the next day
You're a ghost
In my house
I'm desperately looking
For something else
to think about
Cuz now I'm older every day
Starts to seem the same
And we all know how this ends
We all know how this ends
And when I woke up I wished I
Knew you well enough to say what's on my mind
So hit the road traveling music man
I wonder if you'll ever wish you could see me again
And while you're out there playing shows in the world
I'll be here, I'll be snowbound.

Song to Myself

Girl, what are you so afraid of
Why do you keep running away from
Wherever you are
Why don't you stay in one place for once
So you can finally get somewhere
Oh, I gotta tell you
Something I don't think you want to hear
Oh, you brought it all on yourself
You built all the walls that need to come down
Girl, what are you so afraid of
Why do you keep running away from
Wherever you are
Girl, what are you doing
Don't sit around and wait for anyone else to tell you what to do
You're on your own
Oh, I wrote this song to myself
But I'm playing it for you
Because of all the struggles we both go through
Oh, this is a song to myself
But I wonder if you recognize anyone else
Girl, what are you so afraid of
Why do you keep running away from
Wherever you are
Girl, what are you doing
Don't sit around and wait for anyone else to tell you what to do
You're on your own

Lullaby
03:11

If the sky could speak what would it say
I tried to catch it but it floated away
And if the moon could cry how would it stop
Before the surface got all dried up
Let the darkness in
Don't be afraid of it, my dear
And if the corn grows
How high will it be before it knows
And though you're walking slow
someday you'll get where you're trying to go
Let the darkness in
Don't be afraid of it, my dear
Someday you'll die and so will I
You can't have life without the night
So goodnight, my dear
Sleep tight

Ancient History
04:11

My brothers in the backseat, country going by
Stick your head out the window, you feel like you'll never die
We'd listen to John Denver on those long car rides
Since we last drove down south it's been such a long time
There's something back there I'll never understand
These memories are full of ghosts from another land
And we drove down a dirt road to an old farmhouse
My great-grandma, she came running out
We sat on the porch drinking lemonade
After that night I never saw her again
There's something back there I'll never understand
These memories are full of ghosts from another land
The older I get the more I wish I knew
But up here in the north, you see, I've grown my own roots
But sometimes my brothers and I, we reminisce
Of the family if we had known, maybe we would have missed
There's something back there I'll never understand
These memories are full of ghosts from another land

Benediction

Don't fear that the good times won't last
Because you know of course they can't
And on the road to becoming who you are
You'll get lost because it's hard
But don't forget that you are blessed
Whatever happens, keep saying yes
And though your fears are justified
You've got to keep on living your life
And though you might die before you say everything that you need to say
You've got to start speaking anyway
And don't forget that you are blessed
Whatever happens, keep saying yes
May you be at peace
May you be at peace with yourself
May you be at peace

susanna rose Rochester, New York
Hi! I'm a singer-songwriter from Rochester, NY. I'm inspired by our long winters; they challenge us and force us to spend a lot of contemplative time inside. During the coldest winter on record, I wrote the songs that became Snowbound. Tim Avery, music booker at the Bug Jar, calls them, "Haunting melodies draped over brooding lyrical bones." Thank you for listening. ... more
