Waiting alone in the heat of the night, Village Girl
Tonight is the night she must go
She stands looking west while her family sleeps, Village Girl
The feeling runs deep - will they know?

A voice in the distance is calling her name
Every time she feels lonely, each night is the same
The living is good and the people you find
Help you learn that you're one of their kind
From that far away they can come here and stay
Leave the old world behind you and live for today
Just let go

It's only life she's after
She needs some love and laughter

Sitting alone in the heat of the night, City Girl
She cries in the night - no one knows
She looks to the hills and the flickering lights, City Girl
Will she give up the fight and go home?

Sitting alone in the heat of the night, City Girl
She cries in the night...
She looks to the hills and the flickering lights, City Girl
Will she give up the fight and go home?

It's only life she's after
She needs some love and laughter

It's only life she's after
She needs some love and laughter

It's only life she's after
She needs some love and laughter

It's only life she's after
She needs some love...

Village Girl, Sheila Chandra (Out on my Own)

[Adena]

I found a place so safe, not a single tear
The first time in my life and now it's so clear
I feel calm, I belong, I'm so happy here
It's so strong and now I let myself be sincere

I wouldn't change a thing about it
This is the best feeling

This innocence is brilliant, I hope that it will stay
This moment is perfect, please don't go away
I need you now
And I'll hold on to it
Don't you let it pass you by

Innocence, Avril Lavigne (The Best D*mn Thing)

[Adena]

Alone
Alone
I think and I shiver
What could have been
Was never real
I think and I think
And I shiver

I never meant
To ruin it all
And if I could reverse our story
I’d never dare
I'd never dare...

Empty Room, Trail of Tears (Existentia)

[Adena]

'Cause a rose is still a rose
Baby girl, you're still a flower
He can't lead you and then take you
Make you and then break you
Baby girl, you hold the power

See, a rose is still a rose
Baby girl, you're still a flower
He can't lead you and then take you
Make you and then break you
Darlin', you hold the power

A Rose Is Still A Rose, Aretha Franklin (A Rose Is Still A Rose)

[Adena]

I cannot sleep
Sedate me
Wide awake
Animate this soul
I'm still following the pain

Daylight Lucidity, Delain (Lucidity)

[Al Truest]

...do you want the truth or do you want your sanity ?
You were hell
and everything else was just a mess
I found I'd stepped into the deepest unhappiness
we get back
I bleed into you
thank God that I don't love you
all of that's behind me now
still seems to be above you

I don't know
I don't know whether I ever knew you
but I know you
I know you never knew me

I feel the waves begin to rise
Far across the ocean deep within your eyes
Silently watching as they fall
I can see the future locked within the crystal ball

Strike up the lightning, hear my prayer
Feel the light electric dancing through the air
Here by the ancient castle walls
Can you see the future locked within the crystal ball?

Locked Within the Crystal Ball, Blackmore's Night (Secret Voyage)

[Adena]

This girl I know needs some shelter
She don't believe anyone can help her
She's doing so much harm
Doing so much damage
But you don't wanna get involved
You tell her she can manage
You can't change the way she feels
But you could put your arms around her

I stand in front of you
I take the force of the blow
Protection

...you're a boy and I'm a girl
you're a boy and I'm a girl, hey...

Protection, Massive Attack (Protection)

[Adena]

Slow fade now to black
Play me one more game
Of chivalry
You and me
Do you see
where I've been hiding
In this hide-and-seek?

We go to the playground
In the wintertime
The sun is fading fast
Upon the slides into the past
Upon the swings of indecision
In the wintertime
Wintertime
Wintertime

We can only say yes now
To the sky, to the street, to the night
We can only say yes now
To the sky, to the street, to the night

Freeze Tag, Suzanne Vega (Suzanne Vega)

A farmer there lived in the north country
a hey ho bonny o
And he had daughters one, two, three
The swans swim so bonny o
These daughters they walked by the river's brim
a hey ho bonny o
The eldest pushed the youngest in
The swans swim so bonny o

Oh sister, oh sister, pray lend me your hand
with a hey ho a bonny o
And I will give you house and land
the swans swim so bonny o
I'll give you neither hand nor glove
with a hey ho a bonny o
Unless you give me your own true love
the swans swim so bonny o

Sometimes she sank, sometimes she swam
with a hey ho and a bonny o
Until she came to a miller's dam
the swans swim so bonny o
The miller's daughter, dressed in red
with a hey ho and a bonny o
She went for some water to make some bread
the swans swim so bonny o

Oh father, oh daddy, here swims a swan
with a hey ho and a bonny o
It's very like a gentle woman
the swans swim so bonny o

The Bonny Swans, Loreena McKennitt (The Mask And Mirror)

[Adena]

These were the times when I longed for the river and I
Closed my eyes and you laid your hands down on me

You filled my void, you let me fly
You broke my chains, you showed me life
You set me up, you made me true
I was back at the river with you

Back to the River, Xandria (Ravenheart)

[hurricanehugo]

I'm only halfway home, I gotta journey on
to where I'll find the things that I have lost
I've come a long long road, still I've got miles to go
I've got a wide, a wide river to cross

- "wide river to cross", Levon Helm
