Come a Little Closer
Somewhere from Salt Lake to New York
I lost my heart along the way
And I don’t remember giving it to you
Cuz giving it away is what I seldom do
But here I am with a hole in my chest
Waiting for a phone call coming from the west
Big city lights but the apple of my eye
Is way back where I said goodbye
Chorus
So come a little closer baby
I’ll sing a little louder maybe
Then you’ll hear me though you’re miles away
But I can feel your arms around me
Just the way it should be
Don’t think twice cuz I won’t be changing my mind
I’m a little fragile baby
But I wanna be your lady
Darlin’ come a little closer to me
I’m not quite sure how I’m supposed to feel
Or even why I’m here
I need my heart and so I need you
Baby tell me that you need me too
Chorus
Oh can I go too far
In loving you the way that I want to
Oh no it’s a crying shame
That you’re so far when I need you
And I can’t wait another day
Chorus

Sand and Rain
I’ve been down to the mountain
I’ve been up to the sea
Where the sun never leaves me
And I’ve always believed
As I stand on the shoreline
And watch the ships as they come
When will yours reappear to me,
And how long will it be?
Chorus
Sail along with me
As I dream of you
And keep my heart from singing
The songs that only you knew
How many nights I have waited for you
And told our story to the sky
Of guns and wars and always wanting more
When all I want is you
You’ve got your sand and I’ve got my rain
And neither of us is to blame
But if I had to choose
And do it all again
Could I open up my arms and let you go?
Sail along with me
As I dream of you
And keep my heart from singing
The songs that only you knew
How many nights I have waited for you
And told our story to the sky
Of guns and wars and always wanting more
When all I want is you

Amazing
She lost her daughter in a bucket of water
They couldn’t save her once she’d gone
And with tears in her eyes
she said thank you for what you’ve done
I just need some time to think it over
Isn’t it so amazing
This life we’ve been given to live
What makes us so crazy
That we forget to live
I’ll hold on to you
If you’ll hold on to me
And when I go, then you will know
Life with you was amazing
With every day that passes by
I have to look you in the eye
And tell you how I’ve loved you all this time
And hold your hand until the lights go out
Isn’t it so amazing
This life we’ve been given to live
What makes us so crazy
That we forget to live
I’ll hold on to you
If you’ll hold on to me
And when I go, then you will know
Life with you was amazing
If you look where no one ever does
You will find the answer
Written in the walls of your heart
Isn’t it so amazing
This life we’ve been given to live
What makes us so crazy
That we forget to live
I’ll hold on to you
If you’ll hold on to me
And when I go, then you will know
Life with you was amazing

Slow Boat

Slow Boat
From the day that I was born
I knew somebody would change me
And a little girl’s dreams could come true
From the dresses that I wore
To the paintings on the floor
Every step it was all to make him proud
The day that I wore white
And I said I’d be his bride
The babies came and danced right through our lives
I knew someday I would have to realize
There’s a slow boat waiting for me down
Where the sun is high and the grass is long
The only one I need is waiting for me on the other side
So quit your crying
Cuz I’m not lying when I say that I miss him so
But the slow boat doesn’t wait for anyone
And I’ve gotta catch my ride back home
On the night that he left
Put a hole right through my chest
Sunsets were never quite the same
But the years have come and gone
and at last it won’t be long
Before I run into those arms again
There’s a slow boat waiting for me down
Where the sun is high and the grass is long
The only one I need is waiting for me on the other side
So quit your crying
Cuz I’m not lying when I say that I miss him so
But the slow boat doesn’t wait for anyone
And I’ve gotta catch my ride back home
But the slow boat doesn’t wait for anyone
No the slow boat doesn’t wait for anyone
And I gotta catch my ride back home

Race Car
I can’t make up my mind
Cuz I am always keeping you in sight
Sometimes I wanna tell you how I feel
But only when I know that it’s for real
If you won’t break it
Then you can take it
I’m afraid to say what’s really
On my mind yeah
all the time now
How can I say?
You have got me runnin’ like a racecar
Spinning around and around
You know that this is not what I am used to
Heading off the track
Now I’m never gonna make it
Without you by my side
Even if I could change it
It’s too late to put us in rewind
And leave it all behind
Every time we meet
Everything around me feels complete
I try my best to hold it all inside
Waiting for the day you realize
If you won’t break it
Then you can take it
I’m afraid to say what’s really
On my mind yeah
all the time now
How can I say?
You have got me runnin’ like a racecar
Spinning around and around
You know that this is not what I am used to
Heading off the track
Now I’m never gonna make it
Without you by my side
Even if I could change it
It’s too late to put us in rewind
And leave it all behind
You make it hard for me to read between the lines
I’m not asking for the wheel
Just make this car run right
You have got me runnin’ like a racecar
Spinning around and around
You know that this is not what I am used to
Heading off the track
Now I’m never gonna make it
Without you by my side
Even if I could change it
It’s too late to put us in rewind
And leave it all behind

Brand New Start
I have got a ticket for Port-au-Prince today
It says beware the people there are suffering away
As if I didn’t notice
As if I didn’t care
Everybody knows when it’s all in the air
All I see is pain
But dancing in the rain, they’re singing
Hey, everybody’s looking for a brand new start
Hey, tomorrow’s gonna be a brighter day
Oo-ee, how we gonna get back on our feet?
Oh love, love is gonna bring us all back home
A little girl is saved by a volunteer from Spain
And cotton tents where brave young men are working night and day
And everybody notices
Everybody cares
Someday all the people will live to tell the tale
All I see is love
We’re looking up above and singing
Hey, everybody’s looking for a brand new start
Hey, tomorrow’s gonna be a brighter day
Oo-ee, how we gonna get back on our feet?
Oh love, love is gonna bring us all back home
Whose to say that things just don’t happen for a reason?
Don’t get me wrong but maybe it’s true.
Maybe it’s so we would notice you.
Hey, everybody’s looking for a brand new start
Hey, tomorrow’s gonna be a brighter day
Oo-ee, how we gonna get back on our feet?
Oh love, love is gonna bring us all back home

Till Now
I have often thought of what a love should be
What my heart should feel
What my soul should say
But it has always been the same
And I have always felt afraid
Till Now
I have often walked down this lonely road
I have passed the beggar and the thief
And they’ve offered me their gold
But it has always been the same
And I have felt ashamed
Till Now
Many years I’ve searched for you, oceans apart
Never knowing where to turn
Or for how long
Through the night, and the rain
You found a way to keep me here, close to you
I have often dreamed of a starlit night
With the one that I adore
Like no one else before
But it has always felt the same
And I have always been afraid
Till Now
And if you could know
what my heart so longs to show
That it’s you no other could replace
That I know your smiling face
And it will always be this way
And I will always feel the same
As Now
I will always feel the same
As Now

No More Goodbyes
She was a green-eyed girl
And he was a blue-eyed boy
Hand in hand across the sand
Watching the sun fall down
She was the greatest mystery
He was hiding in a place that no one sees
Just a pair of friends and then
The moon shined her surprise
It was plain to see by then
The magic in their eyes
All at once the world that you have known
Fades away, and you melt into the eyes you own
This is your happiness
This is the kind of love you’ll live
So stay a while
And show everyone your smiles
And then you’ll be on your way
Before you can say
No more goodbyes
No more goodbyes

Angela Soffe Yakima, Washington
Angela Soffe's latest work marks a brave return to music after 8 years of silence. Her new album (coming April 2018) is the result of a darkness-into-light narrative, and marks a heroic return to art. The weighty topics here are exquisitely offset by soothing musicality, an amalgam of folk, pop, and bluegrass with touches of new age and classical music. "Second Wind Tour" begins Summer 2018. ... more
