Leave a Light On
03:18

I was lost, I was running
Found a corner I could hide in
Prayed the dark would never come for me
But my heart, it betrayed me,
Ripped apart and then remade me
Now I'm not the girl I used to be
Leave a light on so the angels can find me
Leave a light on so the angels can find me
I was torn, I was broken
In the black, no-one to turn to
Standing faithless on that frozen ledge
Then you came and you turned me
In the rain, your handprints burned me
Left me spinning on that dizzy edge
Leave a light on so the angels can find me
Leave a light on so the angels can find me
Leave a light on so the angels can find me
Leave a light on so the angels can find me

Wait for You
04:16

We're in an awful fix,
can't move forward, can't step back
We never planned to feel this way
I see the conflict in your eyes
There's nothing I can say
I will wait for you
Til all the things you need to say come crashing through
I will wait for you
Heaven's falling down on me but I will see this through
I know I talk too much
Filling the silence, plugging the void
Chasing the shadows with the sound
Feels like this can only go two ways
Washed to sea or run aground
But I will wait for you
Til all the things you need to say come crashing through
I will wait for you
Heaven's falling down on me but I will see this through
So we're keeping our distance, we practice resistance
Pretend this is how things ought to be
We shuffle and stumble as our facades crumble
And leave us exposed for all to see
I'm not gonna tell you, I'm not gonna tell you it's easy
And make a liar of me
But I will wait for you
Til all the things you need to say come crashing through
I will wait for you
Heaven's falling down on me but I will see this through
But I will wait for you
Til all the things you need to say come crashing through
I will wait for you
Heaven's falling down on me but I will see this through

Clockwork Ballerina
03:47
|
|||
Hidden deep within the dusty attic
Far beyond the reach of light
She dreams someone will come and set her free
In a wooden box with velvet lining
Shackled by the cogs and springs
She's a slave to the winding of the key
Clockwork ballerina
She'll forever dance this part
She'll pirouette and spin,
with her beautific grin
And her cold and shattered heart
Clockwork ballerina
her heart is on her sleeve
She's looking for her prince,
she hasn't seen him since
The day she had to leave
Long ago she would dance in theatres
And her prince was by her side
Now she's trapped inside an evil spell
She'll never be a sugar plum fairy
Never be a dying swan
Just a prisoner in this clockwork hell
Clockwork ballerina
She'll forever dance this part
She'll pirouette and spin,
with her beautific grin
And her cold and shattered heart
Clockwork ballerina
her heart is on her sleeve
She's looking for her prince,
she hasn't seen him since
The day she had to leave
Clockwork ballerina
Her story must be told
Her bitter lonely soul,
it has nowhere to go
She's never growing old
Clockwork ballerina
Forever on her toes
She's locked inside this chest,
and she can have no rest
Until the music slows.

Eyes Like Summer
03:16
|

Sitting by the window, watching the trees
The leaves unfurl like the pages of a book
The whole world has been asleep for such a long time now
Losing time beneath the winter's crook
And you, with eyes like summer, melt the sky
Open up the window, let the warm breeze in
The land's been saddened by the loss of light
Feels like forever since birdsong filled the air
Lifted by the joy of the blackbird's flight
And you, with eyes like summer, melt the sky
You, with eyes like summer, teach me to fly
The turning of the season will come around again
Blanket everything that's good in sodden grey
But what we have is now and what we have is here
And so the coldness of the winter melts away
And you, with eyes like summer, melt the sky
You, with eyes like summer, teach me to fly

Rota Fortuna
03:34
|

It's time to take a risk, to have a little fun
You should never regret the things you haven't done
Take a chance, take a chance, take a chance, and things might go your way
You'll never know if you don't try, that's what they always say
Turn it around, turn it around
Build it up and knock it down
don't be afraid to start again
It's up to you how much you win
Turn it around, turn it around
You're in control of what you found
don't be afraid to open the door
You might just find what you are looking for.
It's time to roll the dice, to see what comes up top
Naysayers in the room may try to make you stop
Take a chance, take a chance, take a chance, it's time to seize the day
No, you'll never know if you don't try, that's what they always say
Turn it around, turn it around
Build it up and knock it down
don't be afraid to start again
It's up to you how much you win
Turn it around, turn it around
You're in control of what you found
don't be afraid to open the door
You might just find what you are looking for.

Casee Wilson London, UK
Casee is a piano-acoustic singer-songwriter based in Madrid where she migrated in desperation after Brexit.. Her style has
been described as "emotionally walloping piano-folk" but she likes to sprinkle synth elements into her music too.
When she is not gigging or writing she enjoys aikido, taiko drumming and chocolate.
And gin.
But we don’t like to talk about that. *hic*
