Long Road Home
by Danni Nicholls
One hour north of the city lights
In a tiny town by the riverside
Where a castle stood now there’s just a mound
That’s where I ran from that’s where I’m bound
Oh it’s a hard thing to do
When you’ve roamed the world alone
To turn upon your heel
And walk the long road
Walk that long road back home
I ran from my people now they are ghosts
And those that I’m afraid of are the ones I love the most
I dread to see their sad and empty eyes
When they discover I’ve returned without the prize
Oh it’s a hard thing to do
When you’ve roamed the world alone
To turn upon your heel
And walk the long road
Walk that long road back home

Let Somebody Love You
by Danni Nicholls and Sam Ashworth
Climb the mountain
Hold somebody's hand
Trust in Love
The softest place to land
You will fall
You will fall
We all fall down
Let somebody love you
When you touch the ground
The path is steep
So don’t let go
Hope will keep
You afloat and lift your soul
You will fall
You will fall
We all fall down
Let somebody love you
When you touch the ground
You will fall
You will fall
We all fall down
Let somebody love you
It’s too easy to keep yourself alone
There is someone waiting for your call
And I know, ‘cause I’ve been there before
You will fall…
The path is steep
Hold somebody's hand

Leaving Tennessee
by Danni Nicholls
The sun’s going down behind the hills of Tennessee
I’m Georgia bound, got a one way ticket cheap
On the run from my broken heart
If I just keep moving the tears will never start
I know in time you’re gonna fade from me
Like the light slipping down as I’m leaving Tennessee
Sorcerer your magic lingers on
All the miles I put between us yet still you do me wrong
The spirit of our love’s a constant shadow by my side
I can run run run run oh but I can’t hide
You’re an empty boat just drifting out to sea
Soon you’ll be gone entirely
And the light is fading now as I’m leaving Tennessee
The sun’s going down behind the hills the sky’s aflame
And for one sweet moment I feel no pain
I know the love you have for me runs deep
But more than love you wanted to be free
And in time you’re gonna fade from me
Like the light slipping down as I’m leaving Tennessee
Leaving Tennessee
The sun’s going down

Feel Again
by Danni Nicholls and Amy Stroup
Since you've gone I've tried to find
A better place some of peace mind
I haven't even cried
Morning comes moving slow
Roll up my sleeves and try to go
Anywhere
When will I feel again?
I don't know, I don't know
When will your shadow fade?
I don't know, I don't know
Someday
The world I knew just disappeared
I tried to fly far from my fears
Its just another distraction
I look myself in the eye
Asking why there's nothing going on inside
When will I feel again?
I don't know, I don't know
When will your shadow fade?
I don't know, I don't know
Someday

Look Up At The Moon

Look Up at the Moon
by Danni Nicholls and Phil Madeira
I’m sitting by the window of my second story room
With a smoke and a drink staring up at the moon
She’s throwing down a silver light on everything she sees
Creeping through the curtains won’t let me be
You were gone this morning when I opened up my eyes
Looking for some greener grass in search of bluer skies
Don’t know where in the world you’ve gone off to
If you’re lonely look up at the moon
Never thought we’d be apart or that I’d end up alone
Never thought I had the strength to go it on my own
I can’t figure out love’s mysterious ways
Sometimes it goes but sometimes it stays
Hindsight’s twenty twenty now it’s crystal clear
I held you in my arms but you were never really here
You said you loved me but you spoke too soon
If you’re lonely look up at the moon
You were gone this morning when I opened up my eyes
Looking for some greener grass in search of bluer skies
Don’t know where in the world you’ve gone off to
If you’re lonely look up at the moon
You said you loved me but you spoke too soon
If you’re lonely look up at the moon
You said you loved me but you spoke too soon
If you’re lonely look up at the moon

Where the Blue Train Goes
by Danni Nicholls and Billy Livsey
You left me at the station just gone nine
We kissed goodbye for the very last time
You drove away, I called out to you
Now I don’t know what I’m gonna do
Ooh I hear the train coming
Makes me cry when the whistle blows
Ooh I got a tear stained ticket
I don’t know where the blue train goes
Press my head against the window as the world goes by
Thinking this is the beginning of the rest of my life
Try to move forward left my heart behind
And its too late now to change my mind
Ooh the train keeps rollin’
Makes me cry when the engine slows
Ooh I got a tear stained ticket
I don’t know where the blue train goes
I’m riding on the blue train
(I don’t know where the blue train goes)
You left me crying in the pouring rain
(I don’t know where the blue train goes)
Will I ever see your face again?
(I don’t know, I don’t know)
Ooh the train keeps rollin’
Makes me cry when the whistle blows
Ooh I got a tear stained ticket
I don’t know where the blow train goes
Ooh the train keeps rollin’
Makes me cry when the engine slows
Ooh I got a tear stained ticket
I don’t know where the blow train goes
You left me at the station just gone nine
I’m miles and miles on down the line
Makes me cry when the whistle blows
I don’t know where the blue train goes
I don’t know where that blue train goes

Beautifully Broken
by Danni Nicholls and Rebekah Powell
Our cars crashed in the pouring rain
Going opposite ways on Mockingbird Lane
I was searching for someone to save
You just needed someone to blame
And I wonder to this day
If I should’ve walked away
I should’ve walked away
We were beautifully broken all along
Like the scratched forty-five of sad love song
Like antique pearls come unstrung
You can’t make it right when it’s wrong
We were beautifully broken all along
You came home one cloudy day
With a tiffany lamp that had a crack in the shade
You were looking for something to mend
But I knew it would never light again
And I wonder to this day
If it was always gonna fade
It was always gonna fade…
We were beautifully broken all along
And I wonder to this day
What we tried our best to save
There was nothing left to say
We were beautifully broken all along

BACK TO MEMPHIS
by Danni Nicholls, Steve O’Brien and Tommy Reilly
Sometimes I get tired of smiling all the time
I wanna hear a song where the words don't rhyme
The cowboy rides off in the end and leaves the girl crying
Don't wanna look out my window and see the sunshine
It's a long, long way back to Memphis
It's a long, long way back home
It's a long, long way back to Memphis
But some people, some places are best left alone
I put on my shoes, turn off the lights
Slip out into another lonely night
I am a stranger to these streets they hold no memories
But sometimes I hear your voice blowing round in the breeze
It's a long, long way back to Memphis…
Lately that old river
It’s been rollin through my mind
It's a long, long way back to Memphis…

Between Forever and Goodbye
by Danni Nicholls and Steve O’brien
I’ve been walking around with a boulder in my shoe
It’s been dragging me down but now I know what I must do
I put the whisky away my head is starting to spin
I’m calling you again
Tell me darling please
I can’t let it lie
Whatever happened in between
I’m gonna love you forever and goodbye
I gave you my heart to keep safe inside
But you stole it away now theres a hole in my chest
Where love used to lie
I tremble and shake but my need outweighs my fear
It’s your voice I long to hear
Tell me darling please…
I’m still holding on
Oh it kills me to know
There’s nothing tied on to the end of this rope
Tell me darling please…

Sad Swan
by Danni Nicholls
The mist is rising on the water
The early morning birds sing
There’s gold red and orange
Falling down upon your wings
You built your nest too soon
It swept away when the high waters came
You’ve got so much living to do
And the waters they wax and they wane
Sad sad swan
You take all the love you can get
You’re going the wrong way up the river
Haven’t grown your white feathers yet
And you’re sitting there crying
But I can’t wipe your tears away
God knows we’re trying
Just to get on through the days
Sad sad swan
You take all the love you can get
You’re going the wrong way up the river
Haven’t grown your white feathers yet

Travellin' Man
by Danni Nicholls
Well I’m a travellin’ man I got a suitcase full of dreams
Been collecting my whole life my case is bursting at the seams
So I’m selling one by one ‘cause there’s too many unfulfilled
I’m trading in my dreams for dollar bills
I’d have liked to’ve been an astronaut but I'm afraid of flying
And I never did good at school so I thought there ain’t no use in trying
Oh it’s every young boys dream to fly way up in the sky
But that was long ago so it’s yours for twenty five
When I was twelve I went to Birmingham to see a travellin’ show
Saw the master in the ring coax the tigers to and fro
But later on I heard that he got eaten in Dundee
So I gave up on that dream and that’s why this one’s going free
Oh there came a point in time I thought I need a wife and child
Someone to wake up to share my laughter and smiles
But I don’t laugh or smile that much and I’m as ugly as a stick
If you got a hundred bucks now we’ll call it quits
I got fireman and fisherman and multi millionaire
I got roller skater high class waiter I got Fred Astaire
I got all these dreams and more that I got no use for now
So I’ll make my living selling ‘em ma and pa would be so proud
Yes I’m a travellin' man I got a suitcase full of dreams
Been collecting my whole life my case is bursting at the seams
So I’m selling one by one ‘cause there’s too many unfulfilled
I’m trading in my dreams for dollar bills
I’m trading in my dreams for dollar bills
I’m trading in my dreams for dollar bills
