LYRICS - "SOCKLESS"
c. 2007 Amanda West Music
-----------------------------------
I don’t want to be a temptress or a seductress
Don’t want to be your mistress or your dirty side project
But when will the stars align?
It’s such a delicate balance between location and timing
and the oceans found inside
when we open
to life
to life
And it’s knocking my socks off
‘cause we’d like to take off more
What kind of forces direct such desires?
What kind of kindling can build such fire in the heart?
…. I ask the stars
You don’t want a temptress, or a seductress
You’re not looking for a mistress or a dirty side project
But it’s so hard waiting for the stars to align
...such a delicate balance between location and timing
and the oceans found inside
when we open
to life
to life
Someday love will be easy
Someday there’ll be no more reason
for hiding
these feelings
Knocking my socks off
You’re knocking my socks off
Oh yeah
Knocking your socks off
I'm knocking your socks off
Oh yeah
Knocking our socks off
this is knocking our socks off
Oh yeah, Oh yeah
mmmm...
Oh when will the stars align?
‘Cause this is knocking our socks off
and we’d like to take off more

LYRICS - "BEFORE I CAME ALONG"
c. 2010 Amanda West Music
-----------------------------------
Sorry I wasn’t there to pull on your pigtails
Or pass you a note in the middle of math class
Sorry I couldn’t ride a bike beside you
Coasting down the lanes on our way home from school
Sorry I couldn’t meet you at the end of your shift
To lighten your spirits, take the weight off your feet
Sorry I missed your walks to the train in the morning
A chill on your fingers and that glimpse of the palace
All this happened long before I came along
All this was already all done and gone
Sorry I couldn’t watch the faces of the passers-by
As you busked in the street doing just what you love
Sorry I couldn’t see the light in your hair
The first time you sang your own songs on the stage
All this happened before I came along
All this was already all done & gone
But I’m here now and I’d like to stay
‘cause I don’t want to miss anymore of your days
(instrumental)
All this happened before I came along
All this was already all done & gone
But I’m here now and I want to stay
‘cause I want to share the rest of your days

You shall be together
You shall be together
Let there be space
Let the winds of the heavens dance between you
Let your love be
Let your love be a sea
moving between the shores of your souls
The shores of your souls
You shall be together
You shall be together
