Roll For Eternity 04:49
lyrics

Roll for Eternity By Jen Lem An ageless rush of free excitement From sprout and spry to weathered and grey On old paved walkways or the dirt path mountains These wheels will roll for eternity Cherry redness, three tires uneven Short and stalky but filled with glee Sweet dreams whisk you to secret places These wheels will roll for eternity Roll, roll. Roll – just roll. A few years older, places to venture Plastic streamers, banana seat Hair whips past your greeting shoulders These wheels will roll for eternity Speed is crucial, so is style The handle bars, no more for play Glide with grace for a kiss from Billy These wheels will roll for eternity Roll, roll. Roll – just roll. In the present these toys are forgotten But you want it all, charm and speed Suck in every churn and wind spell These wheels will roll for eternity Roll, roll. Roll – just roll.

Lost 03:29

Lost By Jen Lem Pixeled and black I leave it to chance Moving ahead I am dust in their shadows Flailing around are my feet on the ground? Is lost the only dance I have left? The fogs all around Face of a clown Black hole of visions of you Scratching the wall barely standing tall Is lost the only dance I have left? Cause I’m Lost – so Lost Never wanna be found Cause I’ll be waiting, waiting for you Cause I’m Lost – so Lost, Never wanna be found Cause I’ll be waiting for you … even when I’m dancing without a sound Waves crash mighty, into the sea Time is running away from me Swirling around getting dragged on down Is lost the only dance I have left Cause I’m Lost – so Lost Never wanna be found Cause I’ll be waiting, waiting for you Cause I’m Lost – so Lost, Never wanna be found Cause I’ll be waiting for you … even when I’m dancing without a sound

Hello By Jen Lem Hello sunshine You color my day Hello sunshine I’m no longer tasting grey Break in the clouds No more dismay I’m feeling your rays, every day Hello yellow I’m thriving on you Hello yellow I’m no longer oozing blue Out of the shadows Crossing that street Life is so lush When you can see When you can see Hello freedom You’re nearly in sight Hello freedom I’ve taken my life see white Let go of the turmoil A sigh of relief All I want is you here Saving me Hello sunshine You color my day

Alphabet Tree 03:33

Alphabet Tree by Jen Lem Day after day you say you love me Day after day you claim it’s what you’re looking for But I want to know for sure Is it just my chest that has such allure? Right around noon you lay your hand upon my knee Whisper in tune you can’t dream of any days without me But I’m not sure if I’m alert Or if you’re just trying to sneak up my skirt? Oh say you will, Oh baby please Pick some letters from your alphabet tree Twist those characters around to see Create a new word to prove you love me Night after night you curl up next to me Night after night you say the same sweet things about me But I don’t know if you really care Or is it cause I’m lying in my underwear Oh say you will, Oh baby please Pick some letters from your alphabet tree Twist those characters around to see Create a new word to prove you love me

Darkest Before Dawn 04:45

Darkest Before Dawn By Jen Lem Sitting all alone in the park beside you Star light flickering is giving in Yet I’m focused on the on the black to find you (where are you?) I don’t know cause the darkness is caving in The bench is stone cold aching The dew upon the touch is settling in I’m searching deep down for the glow inside you (where is it?) I don’t know cause the darkness is caving in I may wanna run You may have lost your way Let’s just close our eyes, wait for light to break Cause don’t you know (don’t you know) that it’s darkest Before dawn... Oh before dawn Temperature around us is dropping But the breath before our eyes is starting to fade I’m reaching out for that spark that brought us here today (where is it?) I don’t know cause the darkness is caving in I may wanna run You may have lost your way Let’s just close our eyes, wait for light to break Cause don’t you know (don’t you know) that it’s darkest Before dawn... Oh before dawn
