When You See the Morning
Courtney Hartman, Taylor Ashton
It's five o'clock in the morning
I'm wide awake with nothing to do
Jet lag has tricked my mind
I'm still far behind in Spain with you
Outside the streets are glowing orange
In a haze of November frost a-coming
Oh when you see the morning darling
Know that I'm not far behind you
Was it only yesterday
That we sang those old songs in Barcelona
You offered me a cigarette
I said, I don't smoke, but sure I'll take one
Your eyes glowed like a pair of moons
So I kissed you and said until next time
Oh when you see the morning darling
Know that I'm not far behind you
You'll be out about your day
While I'm still waiting on the sun to break the morning
I cannot see it now
But just around the bend I know it's burning
In another day or two
It'll sway my body back into a rhythm
Oh when you see the morning darling
Know that I'm not far behind you
Breaking like a wave of blue
When you see the morning darling
Know that I'm not far behind you

Nothing We Say
Courtney Hartman
I try to travel round as light as I can
I only carry my body for its sentimentality
It was the first thing my mother gave to me
God bless her soul
I never let myself fall hard
Too afraid to make the same mistakes I've already made
I only stay so long in the same place
Then I carry on
I can love you today
But don't ask for tomorrow
Don't ask if tomorrow I can stay
With the sun's arising I've got to be travelin'
But we can make a night of it again someday
And in the hour before goodbye
When nothing we say seems to hold its own weight
And the click of the clock like rattling chains
Say it's time to go
I can love you today
But don't ask for tomorrow
Don't ask if tomorrow I can stay
With the sun's arising I've got to be travelin'
But we can make a night of it again someday
You and I like the northern geese
Never at home and never at ease
When we're on the ground
So hold me here for another night
I will say what I can but the touch of my hand
Speaks more than the words that slip my mind
Failing me again
I can love you today
But don't ask for tomorrow
Don't ask if tomorrow I can stay
With the sun's arising I've got to be travelin'
But we can make a night of it again someday

Noah
Courtney Hartman
Sweet dreams little one
Everythings's alright
I cannot hold your head at my breast
Rock you to sleep or kiss you goodnight
Eight months old
When they took you away
Stripped me of all that I had
Of every defense that I gave
Noah, Noah
My only son
Noah, Noah
What I have I done
Small knit cap
In an empty blue room
Round in my head goes your chitter chat voice
Your pit patter feet on the warm kitchen floor
Oh they called me crazy
Then they put you in his hands
And now I'm the guest at your father's house
One day in ten, how will you understand?
Noah, Noah
My only son
Noah, Noah
What I have I done

Hide and Seek
Courtney Hartman
I know it's cold but don't complain
You know what happens if daddy hears ya
Just hold my hand, walk real close
Sometimes it helps to wiggle your toes
We'll give it a bit, he'll soon forget
That he ever brought us into town with him
We'll find enough change to catch the Q train
If you find a dime you win this race
Cuz daddy's lost his mind again
He's layin there asleep
Don't he look a little like a manatee
So come on brother let's run and play
You close your eyes I'll run away
Through Atlantic station
Playing hide and seek
When we get home we'll snuggle up warm
Underneath Momma's old curtain cover
We'll lay right there, as long as we can
Til daddy comes stumbling home again
And if we get lucky we'll find some food
Hiding in the cupboard or the living room
Oh boy, if only it'd be
A box of crackers or a can of cheese
But daddy's lost his mind again
He's layin there asleep
Don't he look a little like a manatee
So come on brother let's run and play
You close your eyes I'll run away
Through Atlantic station
Playing hide and seek
Wake up, we gotta climb through the window
Cuz daddy's brought his rowdy friends home
You know what happens, if we stay
Come on now, we got to run away
Cuz daddy's lost his mind again
He's blowin at the seams
Don't he sound a little like a manatee
So come on brother let's run away
You close your eyes I'll pretend it's play time
Running to the station
Playing hide and seek
Oh, come on brother let's run and play
You close your eyes, I'll run away
Through Atlantic station
Playing hide and seek

Take Me Back Colorado
Courtney Hartman
Traffic is bickering
The streets are full of shouting
My furnace hums with the car horns
The oak trees have faded
Left the streets looking jaded
Oh November why're you wearin such a scorn
Everyone's hasty
This city's growing angsty
Waiting on thanksgiving day to come
I am too
Take me back Colorado
I'm headed home
I'll miss you in December
Like I did in November
When you kissed me goodbye gently
Wild wild leaves
Blew up and down the streets
But you didn't know the wind when you held me
Gray paints the sky
Pours fog into the night
The drizzle can't decide to stay or go
It'll lift soon, I'm a leavin soon
The sky is clear and cold there
My lungs fill with sharp air
I'll stay out til the stars fill my cup
Take me back Colorado
I'm headed home
