This Old World Karen Morand and Kelly Kessler (Blame it on Bristol @ BMI) ©SOCAN 2018
Don’t have the words to say
Ain’t got a prayer to pray
Can’t find no peace of mind - I got trouble This old world is a-weighin’ me down
Too many weeds in the garden
Too many rocks in the ground
I broke my back trying to dig it all out This ol’ world is a-weighin’ me down
Don’t have the words to say
Ain’t got a prayer to pray
Can’t find no peace of mind - I got trouble This old world is a-weighin’ me down
Too many blues on my pillow
Too many blues in the night
I wish I could sail on this river of tears (and) leave my sorrow behind
Don’t have the words to say
Ain’t got a prayer to pray
Can’t find no peace of mind - I got trouble This old world is a-weighin’ me down
I was born with wings
When am I gonna learn how to fly?
Don’t have the words to say
Ain’t got a prayer to pray
Can’t find no peace of mind - I got trouble This old world is a-weighin’ me down Begun April 2017, finished February, 2018.

Homeward Bound Karen Morand & Linda McRae (SOCAN) ©SOCAN 2017
Traveling backroads finding my way
Life dropped me off west of Winnipeg
Where there’s wine in the water and blood in the dirt, Mud in the living and there’s songs in the work
Running from shadows running from time With a busted heart and a broken mind
I dug past the heartache straight to the core Finally found what I’d been looking for
I’m Homeward bound, you know I’m homeward bound
My bones remember what my heart can’t forget But there’s no hard feelings and no regret
I danced down the aisle and I danced down the line The only thing keeps me from losing my mind
Homeward bound, you know I’m homeward bound
Moonlight on the mountain sings through the trees I’m never so tall then when down on my knees With all of the stars, I bow to the wind
Finally returning to where I began
Homeward bound, you know I’m homeward bound
You know I’m homeward bound, ya, I’m homeward bound. Begun March 17, 2016, finished April 2, 2017.

When the Smoke Clears Karen Morand & Charlie Morand (SOCAN) ©SOCAN 2018
Let’s pass on the whisky,
Pass on the cigarettes
Let’s clear the air of stale beer and raw regrets Open the window, see if the sun still shines We’ll check out our scars,
You show me yours and I’ll show you mine
Where have you been, where are you now after the rambling? You had it all, now it seems so small after unravelling
Well ooo-eee, my dear
Let’s see what’s left after the smoke clears
Walk out that door, leave the drama behind
Head for the hills, take back your peace of mind
Run out of pavement, ride the gravel roads
To take a look around this old world you gotta take it slow
Where have you been, where are you now after the rambling? You had it all, now it seems so small after unravelling
Well ooo-eee, my dear
Let’s see what’s left after the smoke clears
Come over here, let me break your heart one more time
Let’s strike a match, see what we can find
Cut off the callous that stopped the feeling
And carve the part of your busted heart that stopped it’s beating
Where have you been, where are you now after the rambling? You had it all, now it seems so small after unravelling
Well ooo-eee, my dear let’s see what’s left
Yah oooeee, my dear you know we ain’t seen nothing yet Until the smoke clears
Begun August 2017, finished September 2017.

Sweet Kingdom Come Karen Morand
©SOCAN 2017
I read it somewhere, oh I’ve heard it said
That a man’s days are numbered- oh, every breath Well me, I’m still hoping there’s days left to count on Running for first light and sweet Kingdom Come
Sweet Kingdom Come Sweet Kingdom Come
I’m running for daylight And sweet Kingdom Come
I used to curse daylight and live for the weekend I’d wait undercover, I’d wait for last call
But I’m done with waiting and wasting the beauty Running for first light and sweet Kingdom Come
Sweet Kingdom Come Sweet Kingdom Come
I’m running for daylight And sweet Kingdom Come
Some hope for better - no work and all wishing Some hope for nothing - they get their reward But I’m holding out for the one thing I’m needing Running for first light and sweet Kingdom Come
Sweet Kingdom Come
Sweet Kingdom Come
I’m running for daylight
And sweet Kingdom Come Written January 17&18, 2017.

True North Karen Morand & Steve Hindalong (ASCAP Flying Frog Music) ©SOCAN 2018
Every Shadow
Every flash of light
Every heartbeat slowing down Every sorry soldier
Every weapon on the ground Every blistered hand on the plow
You see it all, you feel it too
Your heart will break, your hand will move
Turn the compass back to True North for your love For your love
Turn the compass back to True North for your love For your love
Every spirit broken
Every lonely soul
Every whisper desperate to be heard Every prayer unspoken
Every stranger in the cold
Every hungry fox and fallen bird
You see it all, you feel it too
Your heart will break, your hand will move
Turn the compass back to True North for your love We’ve lost our way, we’ve lost what’s true
Find us when we can’t find you
Turn the compass back to True North for your love For your love, for your love
Turn the compass back to True North for your love
For your love
Every storm-cloud
Every question-mark
Every journey down a dead-end street Every dirty secret
Every trespass in the dark
Every well-worn rut under our feet
You see it all, you feel it too
Your heart will break, your hand will move
Turn the compass back to True North for your love We’ve lost our way, we’ve lost what’s true
Find us when we can’t find you
Turn the compass back to True North for your love For your love, for your love
Turn the compass back to True North
For your love, for your love
Turn the compass back to True North
Begun April 2016-February 2018
