Track Name: Two Queries: Two Queries
 
Wait,
What
Do you love
About the way
They move around you?
(They circle you the most)
Around you?
(They circle you the most) 

Wait,
What
Did you say
About your mom
And how she had to
Get used to
Being alone
(They circle you the most)
Being alone
(They circle you the most)
Track Name: A Stone Is a Stone: A Stone Is A Stone 

Think of something you’ve seen
Break it down
Tell me as much as you can
Break it down for me 

Oh, how I love what you see
Make it sound like I haven’t even been listening
To a word you say
With your back to the wall
Somehow now, how I got here, I can’t recall
But then again, here I am 

Thinking there has to have been
Something wrong
since the time when a stone was a stone
Now, what do I know?
since the time when a stone was a stone
Now, what do I know
This is how you go:
Now what do I know
This is how I go 

And if again we must go, this time
I know how to go about it like I don’t mind
It’s my plight
To you, my dear, again, good night.
Track Name: Lean On You: Lean on you 

It's like asking me  
«Why don't you stop looking my way   If you can see me  
With your eyes shut anyway?»  
You run around and walk along  
If I walk away  
Feel like a child  
Lean in and ask you how to play 

Been working hard  
Holding back, putting away  
Every perverted things  
I've thought of saying  
To you  
Instead I am 

Asking why don't we go  
Mingle with the people?  
Cause I don't need  
I don't need  
To lean on you, no  
Even though  
That's what other people do
 
It's effective though I haven't gone as far  
As swimming in the poison that we are  
It's impossible as always to forget  
Something that hasn't happened yet  
Not yet 

Meanwhile why don't we go  
Mingle with the people? 

Cause I don't need  
I don't need  
To lean on you, no  
Even though  
That's what other people do  
They lean on you
Track Name: Claudion: Claudion 

I broke into our home
Had we even been living here all along?
I forget who i’m with
all I remember is trying to get here safe 

And your face that I know says 

«Night falls
And day breaks»
I was only thinking ‘bout trying it out 

I break into our place
step back and take a look at what has changed
And when I turn around
I see you lying on the ground, it's you
When I go down as myself
I don't come up as someone else, it's true 

And your face that i know says
«What comes over you
When you wish you were somewhere else?
I can look after you
But, girl, you should look after yourself 

«Cause night falls
and day breaks»
I was only thinking about trying it out
When night falls and I'm all thinking about trying it out
day breaks and I can’t help it
I can’t help it
Track Name: Rise: Rise 
Moonrise
You won't you won't believe your eyes
But you could mine
As if you were by my side
Tender, tender, love me tenderly
I wan't to read your mind
Rigour, vigour, come and shatter me
Until I become skeptical of all the things I like
And walk away as fast as day at night 

Sunrise
Arm's distance I will sleep all night
If I wake, I'll move
Closer without waking you
Sleeper, sleeper, tell me what has been so tiring
You're gone
Colour, Colour, I will think of you
When red meets blue and fades into the greater black
Won't you come back and hold me 'till it's through 

Moonrise, you draw your eyes
On faces of people you won't come to know
You leave all the people before they know you
You leave all the people before they know it

I Need to Start a Garden
by HALEY HEYNDERICKX

supported by 27 fans who also own “From the Series of Songs "Altogether Unaccompanied" Vol. III & IV”

I had tickets to see Andy Schauf in Jersey City and saw that she was touring with and opening for him so I checked out her Tiny Desk concert for NPR. I immediately liked her but then seeing her live was an altogether different experience. She's a phenomenal guitar player and her voice is just, ugh, I fell for her hard that night. I'm very glad I got to the show early and didn't miss the opening act that night, can't say the same about most openers. The cherry on top was two covers she closed with, Dave Van Ronk's Green Green Rocky Road and one by Townes Van Zant that I'm not sure of the title as she changed/adapted the lyrics. She's really a very special and rare talent, brilliant singer songwriter and guitar player, with a very charming stage presence. daveybear
