SEARCHING FOR YOU I was dancing alone when you smiled and asked my name I said it’s three in the morning in the dark we all seam the same But you said you could tell this was not my kind of place And there must be a demon in me that I’m too afraid to face It true I’ve been looking for a door Out of this Hollywood tomb Asking for more I’ve been searching for you In this Hollywood tomb Only searching for you In this Hollywood tomb My school friends are married I’m on my own They were the party it’s Tuesday I’m going out alone You said nothing good happens here at this bar It’s all just booze, smoke and coked-out-wanna be stars I’ve been searching for you In this Hollywood tomb Only searching for you In this Hollywood tomb Take me home Take me home Take me home Take me home It’s not a party we’re out every night Running to put money in the meter with heels in the morning light Those moments I wonder how got to this place This Hollywood wasteland of lost dreams and frauds and fakes I’ve been searching for you In this Hollywood tomb Only searching for you In this Hollywood tomb Take me home Take me home Take me home Take me home by Joy Autumn © 2018 Alfie Cat Publishing

Go 03:40
GO I won’t fall for you tonight Cuz I know this isn’t right And you will never be mine And I can’t accept your warm embrace Without dreaming of a day I wake In your arms But oh, oh, oh, oh I’ll never know, I’ll never know And I need you to go Go You’ll wanna meet after my show And I’ll have to tell you no There’s a line we cannot cross I want to but I will not But oh, oh, oh, oh I’ll never know, I’ll never know And I need you to go Go Just go So when I stop taking your calls You might think I don’t care at all It’s easier if you do It’s simpler than the truth But oh, oh, oh, oh I’ll never know, I’ll never know And I need you to go Go I’ll never know by Joy Autumn © 2018 Alfie Cat Publishing

The Ghost 03:31
THE GHOST Every time my phone rings Every call it’s true I think it’s you It’s not you And every hour feels like a day Staring out into space I fear You’ve disappeared You don’t come through for me What’s wrong baby? On a bed of nails you make me wait But lately I’ve been wondering Was it real? Was it just a dream? I thought you were a man You’re just a ghost Your voice is ringing in my ears Perfectly in time to the choir I hear Of sirens wailing in the night I see your face you’re smiling at me When you lean in to kiss me Your lips are bees stinging me You don’t come through for me What’s wrong baby? And on a bed of nails you make me wait But lately I’ve been wondering Was it real? Was it just a dream? Cuz I can’t sleep at night with a ghost You’re on my mind In my head Thorns and roses on a thread But I won’t live my life with a ghost by Joy Autumn © 2018 Alfie Cat Publishing

HERE AND THERE Here and there Anywhere Anyplace with you is home You and me Anywhere, everywhere Any place we go is home Home is when the sun is setting on the sea And my hair is blowing in the ocean breeze Handstands on the sand The evening calm My palm in your palm You and me Here and there Anywhere Anyplace with you is home Standing on a mountain top Where we find a cozy picnic spot Anywhere with you With you With you Is home I’m terrified of what this means To give so much and know that I could lose this dream Are we ok? Are we still fine? Hurts more than it should this time And I know What it feels like To cry so hard you think you’ll die But still we all must try Here and there Anywhere Anyplace with you With you With you Is home by Joy Autumn © 2018 Alfie Cat Publishing

Brave 03:57
BRAVE We won’t be younger than today There’s no great time or place We won’t be younger We won’t be brighter We won’t be crazier than today We’ve missed chances before I got shy at your birthday Even though I wanted more Are we ever gonna be brave? Are we ever gonna be brave? Are we ever gonna take a chance Or will we always wonder? Are we ever gonna be brave? Are we ever gonna be brave? We might fall hard We might fall flat But what if it lasts We don’t know where we’ll be next year Or who we’ll meet along the way You might be on the road And I said I might go To New York or San Fransisco I see that look in your eye You light up when you see me Why are we so shy? Are we ever gonna be brave? Are we ever gonna be brave? Are we ever gonna take a chance Or will we always wonder? Are we ever gonna be brave? Are we ever gonna be brave? We might fall hard We might fall flat But what if it lasts What if it lasts What if it lasts What if it lasts We won’t be younger than today There’s no greater time or place Are we ever gonna be brave? Are we ever gonna be brave? Are we ever gonna take that chance Or will we always wonder? Are we ever gonna be brave? Are we ever gonna be brave? We might fall hard We might fall flat But what if it lasts Are we ever gonna be brave? Are we ever gonna be brave? (What if it lasts) Are we ever gonna take a chance? (What if it lasts) Are we ever gonna be brave? Are we ever gonna be brave? (What if it lasts) We might fall hard We might fall flat But what if lasts It might just last by Joy Autumn © 2018 Alfie Cat Publishing
