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 03:01

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
