Lyrics
WE ALL FALL DOWN – Em
And the body cools – And the drums
They drown the echo – Of your final sigh
Then you’ll know, man – What lies at hand
Forever more – And you’ll know the score
Of all the times you swore – Would be your last
We all fall down (4 x’s)
For the last time
I’ll ask you, friend – To understand
And guide me – To a resting place
And lay with me
Till the pounding stops – And the sound dies down
And the body cools – And the drums
They drown the echo – Of my final sigh
We all fall down (4 x’s)
(break)
We all fall down (4 x’s)
‘cause you can’t fall up
And I’m so far down
That the dirt is filling
Up my lungs
I have to rise up
To crawl
We all fall down

Wave of Blue
Like whirlpool action in the deep, dark blue
Those stars in your eyes draw me down to you
With a final struggle I’m pulled right in
And I can’t get out, so I just give in
Loneliness, you’re not so sad
‘Cause like a gift, peace comes from you
If no one else should love me only
Emptiness will drown me – Wave of Blue
At a rollercoaster pace
You take all the passion, then shout in my face
With a final scream we take that ride
So I just give in ‘cause there’s no place to hide
Loneliness, you’re not so bad
It’s solitude I get from you
And now that you have left me, Lonely
Emptiness has drown me -
Wave of blue
Covered, filled and drown me – Wave of blue
Guitar
Loneliness, you’re not so bad
It’s solitude I get from you
And now that you have left me, Lonely
Emptiness has drown me – Wave of blue
Covered, filled and drown me – Wave of blue
Emptiness has found me
There’s no way to pass it by
Emptiness has found me
There’s no way…
Cover, fill and drown me – Wave of blue (2x’s)

Stand
And never understood
Why I wouldn’t answer when he asked, “You okay?”
He smelled to me of crushed cloves
Never understood my tears
When I proposed
And he said, “Maybe someday.”
*Now I see there’s no beginning
And I sense that there’s no end
No possibility of winning
When you’re rooted to the spot
Where you stand
He sounded just like Elvis
And never understood
Why I blushed
When he said, “Sing for me baby.”
He tasted of molasses
Never understood my sigh
When he kissed me deep
And whispered his, “Goodbye.”
Now I see there’s no beginning
And I sense that there’s no end
No possibility of winning
When you’re rooted to the spot
Where you stand
And they’ll never understand

Killer Blues
Nicole Good Pierce
Skimming Stones and Laughing Proud
Suddenly my heart’s voice loud says
“You’ll never find the one for you”
Unfortunate, the tragic news
And then it struck me
Killer blues
*Now the sky, it covers me
And underneath the sea, you see
Is slightly swaying to calm me
But those killer blues
Are killing me…
Why are eyes and skies and seas
Predicting far ahead for me
Now in my mind your thoughts it drew
Why now reveal the thought of you
For some your eyes hold mystery
For me, windows to misery
That one day, no more will be
How fortunate this happy news
But I’m not free from
Killer blues
*
Unfortunate, this tragic news
And then it struck me
Killer blues

Jump On In
Nicole Good Pierce
I’ve dug the mother of all holes, might as well jump on in
I’m a mess – Simply a mess Might as well jump on in
I love you, ya know, is what you said
I love you too, I said right back
Now that big ol’ hole’s been dug for two
I’ve dug the mother of all holes, might as well jump on in.
I’m a mess – Simply a mess Might as well jump on in
Think I’m gonna end myself
Put a wound on the family tree
Think I’m gonna bury myself
In that mother of a hole’s where I’ll be
In that mother of a hole’s where I’ll be

Alright
Nicole Good Pierce
I’m okay
Wish you wouldn’t worry so
I just said, that I really had to go
But I’ll be Alright(3)
And you won’t see the tears in my eyes
What are we doin’
Neither of us knows
We’re not dreamin’ it’s a rocky shore
But I’ll be Alright (3)
And you won’t see the tears in my eyes
Dobro Solo
Take it slow
Or don’t take it much at all
Make your mind up Or be prepared to fall
But I’ll be alright (3)
And you won’t see the tears in my eyes

LOVE – G
Nicole Good Pierce
Everybody knows
Everybody cares about it
Everybody wants
Everybody gotta have
Love… Love…
You gotta give it all
Everybody Give
Everybody Take a little
Everybody Share
Everybody’s so full
Love… Love…
There’s enough to go around
You try to salvage
It ends up stale
You try to handle
From every angle
Was once so lovely
And now so sterile
And w/ a fury
You point your arrow
Everybody tries
Everybody groping for it
Everybody push
Even if it doesn’t fit
Love… Love…
Get it right
Everybody hope
Everybody try again
Everybody dream
Everybody gotta find it
Love… Love…
Give it all
You try to salvage
It ends up stale
You try to handle
From every angle
Was once so lovely
And now so sterile
And w/ a fury
You point your arrow
There’s only one cure, there’s only one cure x’s 3
And w/ a fury
You point your arrow
Love….
Cittern Solo
There’s only one cure, there’s only one cure x’s 3
And w/ a fury

THE ROOM
Modified Lyrically 4.25.06
Is it strange that I’d find
The peace and answers
To a lifetime of sorrows
In a room of sleeping children
Completely Unaware
My life is in this room (3)
Living…. Breathing (2)
Quietly reminding me (2)
Quietly
There are not-so-quiet hours
That take up too much space in me
Keeping precious things from me
Too full of the sounds and madness
Until I take my leave (3)
To the room
My life is in this room (3)
Living…. Breathing (2)
Quietly reminding me (2)
Quietly
Where my life is
Living…. Breathing
Smelling sweet of earth and sweat
Opening a door of hope I never knew was there
I was completely unaware(2)
Living…. Breathing (2)
Quietly reminding me (2)
Quietly

FEAR – D
Here we are at the beginning
A calm and strange familiar place
If I begged to start over again
Would you laugh in my face
Always strong in fair weather
Always prayin’ for pure grace
Let me know if forever
Means we’re rooted to this place
Now we go round and round
Round and round and round and round
With insults
Will it stop, no one’s guess
So we laugh and cry and
Scream
Can we know, should we try
Is it worth the
Fighting
Reasons why come in threes
As memories take on new
Shape
Here we are at the beginning
A calm and strange familiar place
If I begged to start over again
Would you laugh in my face
Always strong in fair weather
Always prayin’ for pure grace
Let me know if forever
Means we’re rooted to this place
You must be wondering, as I am
What has brought us here
Is it lies, is it time, is it simply changing minds
Or is it fear?
Now we go round and round
Round and round and round and roundWith insults
Will it stop, no one’s guess
So we laugh and cry and
Scream
Can we know, should we try
Is it worth the
Fighting
Reasons why come in threes
As memories take on new
Shape
You must be wondering, as I am
What has brought us here
Is it lies, is it time, is it simply changing minds
Or is it fear?

In The Event of my Passing
Lyrics/Music Niki Good
In the event of my passing
Drape a ribbon, tack my picture
On the dieing Red Oak Tree
And if it’s grief that I’m adding
Leave the key outside
Pretend that nothing happened much to me
Every now and then just think of me
And kindly say my name
If no remembrances can spark a smile
Then thank you just the same…
If in the springtime You should see me
Walking down the street
Please don’t feel bad
If I don’t smile
If our eyes should meet
In the event of my passing
Don’t keep it all for you
Lest not forget there’s others who loved me
If it’s days that you’re counting
Take a hobby or a nap
I’m looking good – you must agree
Every now and then just think of me
And kindly say my name
If no remembrances can spark a smile
Then thank you just the same
If in the springtime
You should see me
Walking down the street
Please don’t feel bad
If I don’t smile
If our eyes should meet
In the event of my passing
Don’t keep it all for you
Let’s not forget there’s others who loved me
