Intro:Love 01:49
just when you think that you can't stand it baby you'll find, love is a magnet pulling on you love my dear is too profound for us instead of lovers let's be explorers and find the secret ways within these walls
2.
once again I will meet you outside rain or sunshine I will be there, with what you need once again I will meet you outside to touch base, see your face after a long time you remind me of a time, where life was simpler, and hearts were softer, and you were easier to know and I’ve been wondering, how you’ve been living where’s it you go when you say goodbye babe I been wondering how you’ve been living if anyone knows, what’s on your mind once again I will meet you outside see your name on my phone pick up straight away once again I will meet you outside though I’m well aware that you’ll be in a different place you remind me of the place where we would go to share our secrets where I trusted you to keep it and you did and I’ve been wondering, how you’ve been living where’s it you go when you say goodbye babe I been wondering how you’ve been living if anyone knows, what’s on your mind we used to say we’d fly to the moon maybe we did- but you landed on the other side we used to say we’d fly to the moon baby, we did- and you landed on the other side

barefoot walking through the fields on a cloudy day the sky above looming they say it will rain but who are they and what does rain imply anyways in their eyes you know they’re scared of the storm after the brightest strike, the loudest clap I see you laughing with joy in the eye of the storm I find a relief in the lost and found, soaring smile oh, how she flies! it’s amazing the clarity of a thunderstorm the thoughts it provokes and the fear it can bring obstacles clashing in a violent sound a brilliant noise the excitement! in dreams I’d never known after the brightest strike, the loudest clap I see you laughing with joy in the eye of the storm I find a relief in the lost and found, soaring smile oh, how she flies! after the storm, she’s always brilliant

the girls and the boys the pain and the joy of loving you joy is a stained glass window letting in the light in colour(s) you couldn’t even see

Victoria 04:32
send a rocket ship to outer space or a submarine under the sea yet nothing is more foreign to her, than the changes in close proximity unafraid and unaffected two things that she wishes she were yet the truth is that pain and influence are quite well acquainted with her but she knows that if she’s going it’d better be now and I swear she will soar, from the highest peaks this world has to offer and I know she’ll be heard, at the top of her lungs she screams her name oh sweet victory! oh sweet victory! as the runners take their places, as the crowd holds their breath something inside so strong, tells her: “this’ll be the best one yet,” there will be no promises of false glory; no concern if discoveries made will go down in history no worries about names any more, just the calm inside; the being free freedom that she knows that she’s going, and she’s leaving now and the tears that she sheds could fill ten million oceans of despair but losing chances to fears is worse than drowning in tears and once you’re out there, once you’re out there, in the wide open air, oh the places you’ll go

I don’t know what makes a woman strong, but I can see it in her eyes and I don’t know what makes a man compassionate, but I can hear it in his voice mama taught me well to listen, people say things without words mama taught me well to listen, people say the most important things without words it’s ok if I need you, I keep telling myself it’s ok if I need you, I keep telling myself is it ok if I need you? I keep asking myself wish I knew what makes a heart of gold, the type that shines through the eyes wish I knew what makes a man of steel, the type that saves lives papa told me never trust, never trust those who say they got it all papa told me never trust, never trust the people who think they’ve got it all it’s ok if I need you, I've been asking myself
7.
as the days pass you and I both know that the weariness accumulates like snow on a roof we’ll cross our fingers and hope it won’t cave in we’ll put up glow in the dark stars to chase away the nightmares instead we’ll dream of fields of green of sun and sky and butterflies of worms and rain the muddy stains on our clothes just because we don’t sleep long doesn’t mean it won’t be wonderful we’ll make friends with monsters under our beds and teach them the beauty of day time we’ll wonder what’s over our heads and keep our eyes set on the skyline in dreams we’ll know that the forest is the ladder to infinity i’ll boost you up on my shoulders cause I know you’re anxious to see climb those redwoods to the top and from your lofty tower catch the glow of the day and save it for your darkest hour
8.
Not Yours 03:09
I will not be yours forever as everything we know must have an end sure as blue and red make purple yet every colour blends into white there’s nothing here to see but light I cannot stay here much longer feel a restless aching in my bones sure as the same sun up in the sky pulls out of every night a brand new day there’s nothing more to say I will not be yours forever in fact I don’t belong to you at all sure as blue and red make purple yet every colour blends into white there’s nothing here to see but light
9.
Outro:Love 00:56
just when you think that you can't stand it baby you'll find, love is a magnet pulling on you

about

This first mini-album is a record of the people I've known and the places I've been; a tribute to friends and friendships of now and then, and a musical exploration of my influences- from jazz, to pop, to soul, and further.

Each of the tracks tells a story: of sharing the joy of a success, of wishing the very best for the next big challenge, of encouraging through the most tired of times, or wondering how that old, estranged friend has been living.

I hope you enjoy the music of these songs and find some truth in the stories they tell.

Love,

C Bahia
