ONE KISS Words and Music by CAT SUMMERHILL Just one kiss and I die Just one look at you and I am one with the tide Just the inhalation of your forever beauty And your dew drips down my spine Until I am just a drum of creation © 2007

This Place 04:02

THIS PLACE Words and Music by CAT SUMMERHILL In this place I feel still And quiet like a desert plain It's the crossroad The changeover when I choose a new way The wind blows the window And I am seeing without eyes CHORUS This place Touches me like your embrace Opens me like the mystery Of the desert face I contemplate In this place I am in love As I am in love with you And hours spent here, like minutes Dissolving you in my arms Love finds us Love opens us Oo Love CHORUS © 1992/2009

Paint Love 03:42

PAINT LOVE Words and Music by CAT SUMMERHILL This pattern still cuts into me the same way Change comes so slowly Love's fallen off again with you Leaves me sitting with sad and missing Pieces of the puzzle That come with all that kissing The sensible feels unnatural Prayers don't put your fire out How foolish of me to choose piety Over a passionate end - your Red rain on my window burns I was in before I knew it and I stopped too soon. CHORUS Can I paint the love back in, with my own eyes? This story bites Can I paint the love back in With my own eyes, take out the thorns That's the rub, no matter what Paint love With you still, my soul in your lap I dust of my faith to leave And break the graft of my orchid found Still holding your scent in my ground But so many thorns mixed in with your warm Brushing me into your sharp corners CHORUS Love strokes - my brush of change Cuts in love - in perfect colour I needed you longer! Come on love cut in time for me! CHORUS © 2008

MOODY Words and Music by CAT SUMMERHILL Gazing over You are quite a beauty And if I may add I'm secretly attracted Thought you'll never catch me Dancing in your garden By the flowers you grew We meet down By the window bright And spin a tune CHORUS Moody moody as red on blue velvet Moody moody as red on blue Last bite we're smiling Like lovers In the maze The last glow of crimson leaves It's time to pay The door opens easy My coat falls in your way The air's like winter you say You come beside me You take my hand CHORUS The stars are out tonight Silvery tines sparkling bright You're magical CHORUS © 2004/2009

The Dance Goes On 04:19

THE DANCE GOES ON Words and Music by CAT SUMMERHILL Must go That will go and That will go All things have a last time The pleasure of morning After the trance of a storm Sends a fresh breeze The sun in her arms and the tree's ~She will leave Breathing more than she's used to Turns the lock with her key CHORUS With a hey and a ho And a hey nonino The dance goes on Ah they all played a part And she holds them in her heart As the the dance goes on ~She finds things that fit her own hands now She unbuttons their flattery No longer tied to that betrayal Her skirt on the Green Begins to glide towards all those years She tended her dreaming - ah - Azaleas Those pink buffoons! CHORUS The carnival resumes with She The pavane of morning In peace the small sounds glisten Without measure They are born To the caisse claire Flying the books of rule away! CHORUS © 2009

YOU STIR IN ME Words and Music by CAT SUMMERHILL You stir in me Sweet darling I wanna lighten all you carry All your X's and O's Sweet love You stir in me Stir in me to get closer Are you sweet my darling? A white rose on an open road Do I trust the angels Do I ask you? CHORUS For your Opium and Aniseed The beginning of you is my Café of Sun I take a soothing sip It's the voice of the love of everywhere Since I first saw you I can't sleep I wanna light a new flame You stir in me Am I crow or dove? Are you glitter or gem? I'm falling in the scent Of your piper's song Are you sweet my darling? A firebird in a cage Do I trust the angels Do I ask you? CHORUS A new flame You're my new flame New flame You're my new flame Sweet darling © 2009

DELICATE Words and Music by CAT SUMMERHILL Dadum do dum Just like you were never there What was it that we shared Are you gonna come back to me Take this love seriously Aimless and insincere There's no redemption here Drunk on the morning haze I go where my feeling strays CHORUS Delicate sensitive Don't think I can touch you Too light to be true Wondering in the dark Can't seem to make a mark on you Can't make a mark on you You came to me I held you tight All our senses came to life A wild ride an enchanted night I hope you see the place is right A pebble falls and disappears I speak aloud, there's no one near The soft musk of our embrace My heartbeat doesn't leave a trace CHORUS I wonder what's real Can I even feel In all my wandering That it might mean something CHORUS Dadum do dum © 2004

Mother 04:04

MOTHER Words and Music by CAT SUMMERHILL In the cold grey days of December Clouds hang low in my eyes In the cold dark centre of winter's longing Something wants to die Don't ask me why Mother I see you move through the ocean Black water woven in your hair Your body pulls the salt sea core Leaving the Earth so bare I stand and stare Mother I'm spreading ashes across the river In a place that's cool and still And the letter I found in her bedroom drawer I bury in the ground Her heart was bound Mother Close to the edge This stage not certain I see we move To different sides Of the quiet curtain Mother In the cold grey days of December Winter took my Mother by the hand Within the darkness overgrown Orange poppies guide her home I place my stone Mother © 2004/2006

FOREVER CHANGED Words and Music by CAT SUMMERHILL I am a stone A never ending ending I live where the sun sets At the end of the road In a room Made of yesterday Where nobody goes Nobody knows CHORUS Forever changed Like a fire burning night You came to me It was never ours But sure as fate And summer soft You called my name Through that window Forever changed A stone's throw away Is where I want to be Crossing the border To more than I see Tenderly remembering me Out of the blue I make my move CHORUS I lived through love It broke my soul Opened my heart It brought me gold You made me know The truth inside Gave me strength To live my life CHORUS © 2004/2009

Without Your Sound 05:13

WITHOUT YOUR SOUND Words and Music by CAT SUMMERHILL M’Anam Cara You are hidden but I'm hearing your refrain For every day since, the sound of you remains Like your dark hair on my pillow stains My pillow stains - my ear to your Mantra CHORUS To step away hurts to the bone Having you so near but never found I am empty without your sound Without your sound I am threading Wanting the curve of your beads that Fall on your breast - I'm Textured in your Sandalwood Returning me with each bead lingering Like a bell - my heart to your door CHORUS We are hollow Instruments Loss courts us Like a bell - OM Come strike me I need to be found M’Anam Cara I am pressing against my orchard tree Pressing - listening for your sanctuary It's pressing me, to play us out in fantasy I keep my grasp on your refrain It's the veil that hides my own pain CHORUS M’Anam Cara © 2009

WAKE UP Words and Music by CAT SUMMERHILL Wake up it's the morning now Wake up see the Sun shine in It's beautiful to be with you Beautiful to be with you Wake up see the red balloon Floating by our empty room It's beautiful to be with you So beautiful to be with you I study you sleeping playing solitaire The words we spoke in summer Scatter everywhere So much love so little form The beauty in it all I know the day will move on I'll read a book or sing a new song And the Beautiful will find its way Like the breeze in the curtain sways © 2007
