Suzie's Song 03:16
Woke up this morning and what did I see? Inside this house that you once built for me I cannot see far beyond you and me It feels like I'm walking along blind Tie-dye bunting hangs over my head Reminds me of memories we made I cannot see far beyond you and me It feels like I'm walking along blind Think on just good things Breath in and out easy Walk very slowly In coming and going Shallowly sleeping To keep me from dreaming What was I thinking To say you would always be mine
2.
Come into the dark side of my heart What is true can still be torn apart All these silent questions that I wear When I try to speak the words they tear I am torn But the baby is still Born Life of my life calling in the air Should I stay or can I meet You there All of my leaves have already fallen Winter's in my body, it is calling I am torn But the baby is still Born We are all just Waiting at the Well Heaven on this earth is kissing hell I'm not even sure if I will make it Water's growing stale, my body's naked I am torn But the baby is still Born Will you come with me Will you set me free

The Curtain 05:23
You have changed, you have changed I stood here watching They say you've grown, grown so tall You look right down on me now Where did you go get holy? That just makes people lonely Lonely's not what we need I am losing my grip on you You are losing your grip on me Tried so hard, now we're black and blue I'm afraid now that you can't see The curtain's between you and me Clap your hands, smile so brave Say you're praying for me Do you know how that feels? Are you not unwell too? Will I see the doctor before you? I search and I search your face Smiling just hurts when it's not the real thing Do you even know my name It will never be the same I am losing my grip on you You are losing your grip on me Tried so hard, now we're black and blue I'm afraid now that you can't see The curtain's between you and me

How I long to leave you Leave you in my memory Memory it covers all our flaws Oh how you have harmed me How could I forget you? How could I forget the damage done? We paid for all the labor And the work was endless How the rain it failed to fall those years Oh I cry for you And all that we've been through Though I said goodbye I think of you, from time to time My need for you is over Like a grown man sober I pour you out and coldly walk away If we're only human What will we go on doing? and what pain do I have yet to cause? It hit me like a cargo train It shook me from my very frame And now the walls we build, all look the same Oh I cry for you And all that we've been through Though I said goodbye I think of you, from time to time
5.
I have won this I have won this We all fall sometimes We all fall It brought me to my knees Brought me to my knees I walked out that door I walked out that door Out that door Out that damn door I have won this
6.
When I saw you smiling I had to look away And how you were standing there In the middle of the station I thought I should be crying For the one I'll be denying You are so God hep me beautiful You are so God hep me beautiful You were in University You were waiting for your bus there It was number 47 When I said goodbye you kissed my cheek When I said goodbye you kissed my cheek I see you in the middle of the night I almost had to leave ya Will it all be worth it If I start to see ya Well honey I'll be honest I've loved you from the minute But I didn't think I'm worth your time No, I didn't think I'm worth your time Everything means nothing When I thought I had to leave you I thought I had to leave Then I realised that was not me Oh I realised that was not me If it were I'd marry you Well I guess that I'm still learning Who it is I am becoming My love will you become with me My love will you become with me

Busy Running 04:48
The city streets misusing me I have to go, lie with naked roads Human machines Can't find a friend to have They’re losing me, they're talking way too fast You know that I Can't escape the pain I feel I'm gonna try Gonna run so far from here Silly words make me cry Rock me back and forth at night I will fall for the moon She will shine me back to you Busy Running all the way to your arms Busy Running all the way to your arms All of these lights, they're making me go blind Holding me down, won’t let me make a sound Conditional love, is not really love at all Dive in the sea, she never curses me You know that I Can't escape the pain I feel I'm gonna try Gonna run so far from here Silly words make me cry Rock me back and forth at night I will fall for the moon She will shine me back to you Busy Running all the way to your arms Busy Running all the way to your arms All of these lights, they're making me go blind Holding me down, won’t let me make a sound Conditional love, is not really love at all Dive in the sea, she never curses me

What is life What is life more than blue skies And rain to clean us What is life What is life more love, Deeper than mis-trust What is life More than miracles scattered When the One provides What is life More than shocking dar horrors In the middle of the night What is life More than holding each other when all is not right So I stand for all people The lost, found and lonely Once we embrace difference We may be as One What is life More than standing for goodness at the Front of the Line

about

Mimi Gilbert's second album, available for pre-order now and fully available on April 14, 2017, is intended to be listened to in one sitting. In this collection of songs, Mimi writes and sings into the depths of loss, disconnection, and finally acceptance and a maturity that develops through strife. Musically feeling and diverse, full of harmony and intimate vocals, mimi reveals a softer side of her music that is true to her live performances when solo.
