Forever - Cassie Josephine & Gabriel Minnikin

I've got one beautiful song for you And it's all I have left to give So I'll conjure up the island waves And country-croon the memories They were good, they were plenty Ya, we made each other smile You were loved, I was loved Ya, we drove each other wild How I loved lighting up your cowboy soul No, I can't forget you even if you say please You can take the girl out of the country But you leave her with these tear-jerkin' memories They were good, they were plenty Ya, we made each other smile You were loved, I was loved Ya, we drove each other wild So why do we sing these two different tunes To tell you would turn this beautiful song blue And I've just got one beautiful song for you And it's all I have left to give

I don't live here anymore, anymore, anymore, anymore The window coverins' are all packed away, packed away, packed away And I'm not lookin' for anything to take your place Not love, not money, not a babe or a house in the country Not for us to change our ways I'm just gonna take what comes, come what may I took the bus to Sydney from Halifax My mom picked me up at the Circle K We entered town via King Street, you should see the way The ocean hugs our little town Like a hand-knit, lambswool blanket for a newborn I'd wrap my baby up in its arms if the wind blew that way But I'm not lookin' for anything, anything to take your place Not love, not money, not a babe or a house in the country Not for me to change my ways I'm just gonna take what comes, come what may

I wanna be closer to you Stop in for a chat, stop in for a glass of wine I want my home to be yours too My castle yours like your castle has always been mine Oh how, oh how, oh when, oh when Will I make it home again I've made myself a kind of life I changed it once and I changed it twice, not for free I wanna take this life Drive it five hours, park it, throw away the key Oh how, oh how, oh when, oh when Will I make it home again But I don't even know how to drive Thought I'd hitch a ride from a trucker I met at the casino, oh-oh Well I guess I should get over my fears Get my drivin' license Drive myself to the island oh-oh Oh how, oh how, oh when, oh when Will I make it home again Oh how, oh how, oh when, oh when Will I make it home again

I've got to give you up, you don't got my back You look so cool, I wanna keep my hands on you But you make me look like a fool Well guess what it turns out I don't even need you Though you're golden, I am older and I am wise to you I don't have enough tears left to cry for you From here on in I'm wastin less time Drinkin fake wine Not puttin love on the line Not wakin up to regrets of what you let me do This red heart's gonna be only half blue for you I know its hard to see down the road from here The thought of travellin there makes me thirsty for A dark-lit bar and a bill to forget my sins But I've got time to win and I've got time to lose And I've got lines upon my face divergin in a yellow wood Long I stood From here on in I'm wastin less time Drinkin fake wine Not puttin love on the line Not wakin up to regrets of what you let me do This red heart's gonna be only half blue for you And I am not afraid of fallin down, or in love, or for you, or right off of my wagon From here on in I'm gonna try wastin less time Gonna try drinkin fake wine Not puttin love on the line Not wakin up to regrets of what you let me do This red heart's gonna be only half blue for you

After forty years of slumber, a crest upon my chest crept up on me I stared it down in the mirror. Tried to wipe it away. But it stayed I had to decide if I would hide or if I'd show to the world my new-found superpower Sometimes I sleep on my back to keep the lines from growing any deeper I wish my vanity wouldn't follow me to bed I am already a troubled sleeper But I won't make it through the night I will end up curled up tight My decolletage will get made over I'll show the world my superpower With hot pink lipstick on my fingertip I will trace the lines from shoulder to shoulder From sternum to collarbone I am woman, hear me roar With hot pink lipstick on my fingertip I will trace the lines from shoulder to shoulder From sternum to collarbone I am woman, hear me roar
