One True Kiss
Words and music by Katherine Wheatley
My heart is heavy with words I don't say
My legs unsteady when I feel this way
Don't try to hold my hand; my hand is in a fist
All I need from you is one true kiss
My body's shaking, I can't see a thing
Am I just waking, or is that you leaving?
Please put the coffee on, tell me, what did I miss?
All I need from you is one true kiss
I'd raise the roof, I'd slam the door, and you'd still love me
Now I need proof and nothing more that you think of me
Is there a reason why I should cry like this
When all I need from you is one true kiss?
My heart is bleeding; it's been pierced by doubt
Has my love been cheating? I think I've figured this out
Make me believe in anything but this
All I need from you is one true kiss
I'd raise the roof, I'd slam the door, and you'd still love me
Now I need proof and nothing more that you think of me
Is there a reason why I should cry like this
When all I need from you is one true kiss?

HALLELUJAH
Words and music by Katherine Wheatley
He'll be whistling while he works
He'll be whistling while he works
He'll be whistling, he'll be whistling
Whistling while he works
She'll be tending their garden green
She'll be tending their garden green
She'll be tending, she'll be tending
Tending their garden green
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah
She'll be holding their little lamb
She'll be holding their little lamb
She'll be holding, she'll be holding
Holding their little lamb
He'll be singing lullabies
He'll be singing lullabies
He'll be singing, he'll be singing
Singing lullabies
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah
She'll be making sugar pie
She'll be making sugar pie
She'll be making, she'll be making
Making him a sugar pie
He'll be kissing her each night
He'll be kissing her each night
He'll be kissing, he'll be kissing
Kissing her each night
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah

SIGNAL FADED
Words and music by Katherine Wheatley and James Gordon
Bitter coffee, but one more cup
Gives me the courage to call you up
I got one more quarter and one more prayer
That you'll still listen, this time you'll care
'Cause last time we made a good connection
The static started and our lines got crossed
When I thought we'd braved a new direction
The signal faded, the call was lost
Signal faded, the call was lost
Manitoba, Roadside Cafe
Another western, another day
The radio's playing some 70's song
That's just as tired as this road is long
'Cause last time we made a good connection
The static started and our lines got crossed
When I thought we'd braved a new direction
The signal faded, the call was lost
Signal faded, the call was lost
I keep on stopping in every town
Me and these pay phones keep breaking down
From here to Whitehorse, takes a long long time
But not long enough to drive you out of my mind
'Cause last time we made a good connection
The static started and our lines got crossed
When I thought we'd braved a new direction
The signal faded, the call was lost
Signal faded, the call was lost

Storm Warning
Words and music by Katherine Wheatley and James Gordon
No birds this morning
Silent storm warning
The wind's a keening crone
I'm tossing and turning
Freezing and burning
My restless heart has flown
Ooo
Borders are shifting
Whole continents drifting
Slowly apart
I feel like I'm breaking
My body is aching
To follow my heart
Yours' beats beside me
The rain starts to fall
There's thunder and lightning
Still, you sleep through it all
The windows are weeping
The dark clouds are keeping
The part of me that's flown
I'm too scared to wake you
I can't bear to break you
I won't, I won't.

BOUND TO YOU
Words and music by Katherine Wheatley, James Gordon,
and Wendell Ferguson
Does the one you left me for
Still come knocking 'round your door
Or has she left you for somebody new
Times were tough for us you know
But time has let me let you go
Even still, I'm ever bound to you
Bound to you, bound to you
After all these years it's still true
Bound to you, bound to you
A part of me will always be bound to you
I used to read you like a book
Now I don't know the way you look
Don't know where you live or what you do
There's one thing I know for sure
There's one thing that time won't cure
That is I'm ever bound to you
Bound to you, bound to you
After all these years it's still true
Bound to you, bound to you
A part of me will always be bound to you

Runaway
Words and music by Katherine Wheatley
I'm not the murdering kind
Ooo run away, ooo run away, run away now
But killing you is on my mind
Ooh run away, ooh run away, run away now
I'd o' made a very fine wife
I'd o' kept every vow
I'm good and ready to bury this knife
Ooo run, ooo run, run away now
The cops, they come, they took away my boy
Ooo run away, ooo run away, run away now
You paid for nothing, not one stinking toy
Ooo run away, ooo run away, run away now
You've got your house on the hill
You've got all fake and highbrow
I've got an aching to kill
Ooo run, ooo run, run away now
I'm poor, I'm pissed and I'm coming undone
Ooo run away, ooo run away, run away now
Some born again Christian is raising my son
Ooo run away, ooo run away, run away now
You've got your name to abide
You've got your lordy-lord crowd
I've got no shame and no pride
Ooo run, ooo run, run away now
Ooo run, ooo run, run away now

Loved A Man
Words and music by Katherine Wheatley and James Gordon
I loved a man too much
To think about loving you right now
Each morning milk and sugar
Each night I'd leave his dinner out
I'm gonna pick myself up off your bed
Forget the pretty things you said
'Cause I don't want to let you in
I don't want my head to spin
My heart's going to need some time
This is going to take a lot
Everything I have got
Your heart's going to have to wait for mine
I loved a man too much
To think about loving like that again
Each day I'd do the dishes
Each night alone, I'd telephone a friend
I'm gonna pick myself up off your bed
Forget the pretty things you said
'Cause I don't want to let you in
I don't want my head to spin
My heart's going to need some time
This is going to take a lot
Everything I have got
Your heart's going to have to wait for mine

The 3:17
Words and music by Katherine Wheatley
It's a long way to walk
And I'm walking alone
The sound of my step
Is the sound of my home
Christmas comes 'round each December
Robins return every spring
Wild aster blooms each September
But some people don't come back again
I carry what's needed
Plus one photograph
I've cried so damn hard
All I do now is laugh
Christmas comes 'round each December
Robins return every spring
Wild aster blooms each September
But some people don't come back again
I used to teach math
Used to fix things for fun
The 3:17
Killed my wife and my son
Christmas comes 'round each December
Robins return every spring
Wild aster blooms each September
But some people don't come back again

Great Big Guitar
Words and music by Katherine Wheatley
Just a couple of dogs
And a truck on the street
And some girls from the beach
With sand stuck on their feet
And boys upon boys
Piled into one car
And a tiny little girl
Carrying a great big guitar
Jake, who ain't been fixed yet
He come out the cat swing door
Gives her the hairy eyeball
Meows "what do you carry that thing for?"
And the girls keep getting closer
They've put flip-flops on their feet
She's wondering will she make it
To the end of the street
Hmm mm, hmm mm, hmm, mm
The pavement's all cracked
The trees are all old
There's a house on the corner
That ain't never been sold
And the shadows grow long
At the end of the day
And the tiny little girl
Just wants to learn how to play
There's a face in every window
She hates it when they stare
She hates it when boys whistle
She hates the colour of her hair
The "flip flops" keep getting closer
She bets they never eat
And she's wondering will she make it
To the end of the street
Hmm mm, hmm mm, hmm mm

Landed
Words and music by Katherine Wheatley and James Gordon
Monday, the boys have basketball
Tuesday, they wait for you to call
Wednesday, I get them to the rink by five
Thursday, car pool, my turn to drive
Friday comes and Saturday goes
And Sunday heaven knows
Somehow I landed
I made it through
I landed without help from you
And when I landed, it felt so sweet
'Cause I landed...
Monday, too much on my plate
Tuesday, already running late
Wednesday, and I'm way behind
Thursday, I'm out of my mind
Friday comes and Saturday goes
And Sunday heaven knows
I landed
I made it through
I landed without help from you
And when I landed, it felt so sweet
'Cause I landed...
Half the house, half the car
Half the money has to go twice as far
Half the room for the four of us
I got half the time to do twice as much
But landed
I made it through
I landed without help from you
And when I landed, it felt so sweet
'Cause I landed on my own two feet

My Request
Words and music by Katherine Wheatley
I tell you no lie
No moment goes by
No moment when I
Don't think about this
Even though someone else loves you
I'm still the one who loves you best
Take your time, but don't cross that line
Return to me is my request
Could be combing my hair
Maybe mending a tear
That's when I'll say a prayer
That you'll remain true
Even though someone else loves you
I'm still the one who loves you best
Take your time, but don't cross that line
Return to me is my request
