LYRICS

01. Crissi Cochrane - Meet Me at Malden

Green grass, rolling hills
So steep you lose your breath
But at the top
What a view
Birdsong fills the air
Wildflowers everywhere
Who made this
And was it waiting for me and you?

If I whisper in the wind
Will you feel it on your skin?

Meet me at Malden
Say I’m the one you want
Kiss me and send my heart to the heavens
I’ll take you to the top
Follow me if you want to get lost
Meet me, meet at Malden

These woods are waiting
Holding on to secrets
There’s no shame in anything
That is natural and real
So why is it I see
The heart of Detroit city
But your heart next to me
Is so disguised?

When the city starts to glow
Will you finally let go?

At midnight - at high noon
At sunrise - under the moon
At midnight - at high noon
At sunrise - under the moon

Meet me at Malden
Say I’m the one you want
Kiss me and send my heart to the heavens
I’ll take you to the top
Follow me if you want to get lost
Meet me, meet at Malden

02. Crissi Cochrane - Black Wasp

Baby leaves, a flower stem
In a crack on the stair
New roots, little sun
Doesn’t matter if you do care

‘Cause I see no rain
And bills gotta get paid
There’s no reply
But a spade
Is always a spade

I let the sleeping dogs lie
I let the tiger lilies die
You’ve gotta be hardy to survive
Around here

Cut me down underground
And measure me against a man
You think you’ve won
Little cloud in the shape of the sun

I grin and multiply
What you edit, I’ll elaborate
I’m never done
I am a truth
You cannot escape

I let the sleeping dogs lie
I let the tiger lilies die
You’ve gotta be hardy to survive
I let the children cry
I let the black wasp fly
You’ve gotta be hardy to survive
Around here

What needs to live?
What needs to die?
What needs me?
What needs to die?
What needs to live?
What needs to be born?

I let the trumpet vine reign
I let you circle the drain
You’ve got to be loud to be sustained
I let the children cry
I let the black wasp fly
You’ve gotta be hardy to survive
Around here

03. Crissi Cochrane - Her Name

Nobody can tell me
I tried to fence you in
As if anyone alive
Could do such a thing
I gave you room to roam
Gave you a pretty home
Never had to be alone
And you said
It was enough
I’m calling your bluff

I don’t want to know her name
I don’t want to know her name

And if it’s all the same
And nothing’s gonna change
Don’t explain
We can pretend
She’s just a friend
Cause I don’t wanna creep her
I don’t wanna keep her
In between us in this house
It’s so hard to leave
Don’t put the hurt on me

I don’t wanna know her name
I don’t wanna know her name
I know you wanna tell
You wanna break the spell
You can’t confess to me
The truth won’t set me free
I don’t wanna know her name
I don’t wanna know
I don’t wanna know her name
I don’t wanna know

04. Crissi Cochrane - Am I Falling In Love

The oldest trick in the book
Centuries descend on me
I know the look in your eye
You’d launch a thousand ships
Ten years of swords and spears
For love you’d sound the battlecry

Thought I wouldn’t lose my head
I didn’t know that the things you said
Would make me burn for you

Am I, am I, am I
Falling in love
Am I, am I, am I
Falling in love
It’s the one thing I said I would not do

Pretty words I would collect
Hopes and dreams tossed into streams
Thought I was carved out of stone
Til you became the tide
Crashed into me, an ancient sea
Now I am only flesh and bone

For when the heart goes before
There is no agony of war
I would not bear for you

Am I, am I, am I
Falling in love
Am I, am I, am I
Falling in love
It’s the one thing I said I would not do

Cleopatra, Antony
You would run and fight for me
Menelaus, Helen
Would that bring you home again?
Leon Dupuis, Emma Rouault
The ache of love is all my fault
How will I bear it if you leave
When you’re the very air I breathe?

Am I, am I, am I
Falling in love
Am I, am I, am I
Falling in love
It’s the one thing I said I would not do
But that was before you

05. Crissi Cochrane - Little Dove

Close your eyes, little dove
And I’ll tell you a word I’ve heard of
For the way it feels to run
Your hands through the hair
Of someone you love
Like the last piece of a puzzle
Falling into place
Like my heart put on a face
And walked out into the world

How can words ever describe this love?
I don’t know why I try
Feels like I’ll die if I don’t
Write songs for you
And try to hold on to
This fleeting place in time
Little dove

I wonder every night
Which memories will fade in the light
And which ones will keep you company
When I give mine to the stars
A curl on your cheek
I tuck behind your ear
To see a thing so clear
On a face that I hold so dear

How can words ever describe this love?
I don’t know why we speak
There is no phrase so deep
As a mother’s love
That carries the burden of
This fleeting place in time
Little dove

How can words ever describe this love?
I don’t know why I try
Feels like I’ll die if I don’t
Right wrongs for you
And try to hold on to
This perfect place in time
Where you are only mine
Little dove
Little dove

06. Crissi Cochrane - Can We Go Back

Can we go back
Can we go back
To the way that it used to be
Cause I used to feel so free
Can we go back
Can we go back
To the way that it used to be

It's been too long
I wanna feel the breeze in my hair
Don't wanna care
Turn on the radio
Give me a song I know

Can we go back
Can we go back
To the way that it used to be
Cause I used to feel so free
Can we go back
Can we go back
To the way that it used to be

The weight is too heavy
Didn't know I'd have to take it so far
Just want to get in the car
Late nights and downtown
Just to be around
Baby, that was real life

Am I asking too much
If I can't live without a human touch?

Can we go back
Can we go back
To the way that it used to be
To the way that it used to be

07. Crissi Cochrane - Why

Why did you have to come at the wrong time?
In the starlight
There were tears in my eyes
Summer on the mountain
My heart in the ground
You and the shovel
And the dirt raining down

Cover the bruises
With your lips on mine
One moment in the shadows
Before you leave me behind

I don't want to be your friend
I want to be your everything
Tear down your walls
Answer my calls
Why can't this be the beginning of something special
Something special
Something

Don't need a reminder I'm not your type
You and the May Queen
Me and my sewing machine
But did you ever tell her
Who you used to be
You would never need to explain yourself to me

So I'll keep waiting
Though I say I won't
Boy, I know my fate and it's not being alone

I don't want to be your friend
I want to be your everything
Tear down your walls
Answer my calls
Why can't this be the beginning of something special
Something special
Something

Why, why, why, why...

I don't want to be your friend
I want to be your everything
Tear down your walls
Answer my calls
Why can't this be the beginning of something special
Something special
Something

Why, why, why, why, why - why
Why, why, why, why, why - why

08. Crissi Cochrane - Take This Waltz (Live) (Leonard Cohen cover)

In Vienna, there's ten pretty women
There's a shoulder where death comes to cry
There's a lobby with nine hundred windows
There's a tree where the doves go to die
There's a piece that was torn from the morning
And it hangs in the gallery of frost

Ay, ay ay ay
Take this waltz, take this waltz
Take this waltz with the clamp on its jaws

This waltz, this waltz, this waltz, this waltz
With its very own breath
Of brandy and death
Dragging its tail in the sea

There's a concert hall in Vienna
Where your mouth had a thousand reviews
There's a bar where the boys have stopped talking
They've been sentenced to death by the blues
Ah, but who is it climbs to your picture
With a garland of freshly cut tears?

Ay, ay ay ay
Take this waltz, take this waltz
Take this waltz it's been dying for years

This waltz, this waltz, this waltz, this waltz
With its very own breath
Of brandy and death
Dragging its tail in the sea

And I'll dance with you in Vienna
I'll be wearing a river's disguise
The hyacinth wild on my shoulder
My mouth on the dew of your thighs
And I'll bury my soul in a scrapbook
With the photographs there, and the moss
And I'll yield to the flood of your beauty
My cheap violin and my cross
And you'll carry me down on your dancing
To the pools that you lift on your wrist

Oh, oh my love
Take this waltz, take with waltz
It's yours now, it's all that there is

La la la, la la la
La la la, la la la
La la la, la la la
La la la, la la la
La la la, la la la
La la la, la la la
Ay, ay ay ay...
