I barely knew you When I saw through you My blue bells rang for red Soft palettes in motion I came to this notion That I was right for your bed Oh no I just can't take a warning Oh no I feel it most in the morning Form the Near North By wind force You drove so carefully Flew by night Only took flight To know you are all that you are Oh no I just cant take a warning Oh no I feel it most in the morning Oh no Been a summer since I've seen you Oh no Don't you know that I need you? I barely knew You When I saw Through You My blue bells rang For red Soft palettes in motion I came to this notion That I was right for your bed

Born blue Its true Family's all we got and it's much more than you Bold skin white eyes a dream come true for eifel 65 Inbreeding Human needing Strong feelings No need for healing Back in kentucky We all got lucky boys are brothers and sisters are mothers and things got mucky with fame we tame the biology of our family name

Lonely I feel bony no heat in my home my skin is stony crazy as it makes me mania cant seem to tame me frightened throat tightened heavy loads just wont lighten brave a close shave eyes lock, smile, and a loose wave

Funny bunny, sweetie pie, Honey Bunch, you pack a punch When you approach so does your lunch It's on your teeth across your tongue I am strong and I am young But I can only stand so much Bad Breath Bobby We just can't be Unless you somehow Stop breathing on me! You're so regal with such a face Lips so lush they must be touched But part them not, they're worse than mace Disable my nose Your stench is too much I'm an honest girl but I still try to reject the hurl for such a guy Close your mouth Talk with your eyes That might just be how I prefer most guys I need a boyfriend. You need a girlfriend. But we can't be friends. Until that scent ends.

Romanticism across the ages It grows and then appears to those who have greater prospects but never to those who feel looking out the window of the Egg Fish Gift House Things have been hectic inside But by my window I sit like a mouse Watching the conquerers go by I see that one pass by the way she walks with her head up something i could never sway because when she looks down things stop The road is wide The path unlit And still what glimmers shines conquering bit by bit, she surely conquers my eyes

LOOK CHORDS TOO! grab your sibling and play it yourself! G D It was such a long time ago G When I left the young one's arms D Setting paths and setting stones Em We were immune to remaining charms D Back into the young one's arms G We flew away from home D Caught a train to appalachia Em D Up the grandiose peak well go, up the peak well go A Em How the dry grass grows near you A We used and then accused Em From our words we resurrect A Em A But its only for today and then we lose our way, we lose our way (our way) D G I feel blue like the sky past the murky clouds D From the interstate we hoped G The kids know a better tale D But their tale is spoken soft, Em spoken soft and low D spoken soft and low BREAK (so you cant hear the story grow) STRINGS// la la A Em Home is still far away A But car games pave the way Em What's now is why I cannot stay A We know its just child's play la la

Rummaging through the dominant fictions, inspecting for just one. On this rocky terrain we run with a box-store appendage and gun We snack on wonderbread while excavating the truth amidst the grandiose burn Of whales and stars and rusted cars we thank you for what we learn Limp-legged yet picturesque we sail for the rise or fall of what we do attest to be right in front of our eyes Let's visit the zoo and imagine we do live in the lions den We question, we entertain, we motion then to you

about

Little Lion is the solo project of musician and composer Rayna Edwards.

This album was made over the summer and fall of 2009. I used all free software and shared media in creating this album. I used no recording equipment beyond a microphone. All samples came from the public domain. There were no copyrights, studios, or labels involved. This album is free because all music should be free.
