Travelin' Baby

I don’t care to think too much ‘bout what it means when we say goodbye
I’ve been alone so many times
Out on the road I never feel alone
So I travel, travel, travelin’ baby I am
Don’t you know you just can’t keep me to yourself
And the secrets you keep they’re not secrets at all
They’re just things that you choose not to talk about
So they appear to me when I least expect them to
Mostly because I just don’t expect them at all
Why on earth would you leave those things out?
Didn’t you know just what my sweetness was about
Travel, travel, travelin’ babe I am
Nobody, nobody, nobody keeps me to themselves
I’m a travelin’, travelin’, I’m a travelin’ baby
And I’m gonna be until that day
Until that day

Make No Mistake

Make no mistake
You’re still on my mind
When he takes my picture as I’m posing with a tired smile
But what kind of life is this? Just a waiting for another kiss
All I want’s you’re voice at the other end of the line
I can stay up waiting for a phone call from morning to the night
But what kind of life is this=
I can’t almost bare to miss you so much
Make no mistake, you’re still on my mind
As I try to move on
Walking right down the line
But what kind of life is this?
All this hurting for a moment of bliss.

Good One

You seem like a good one, you’ve sure been good to me.
Laid me down when I was tired, told me I wasn't crazy.
Broken down, hurt and weary, is all you've learned to know.
(I) think you need someone to hold you, someone who will not let go.
Are you burning in your mind and your body?
Like something good has got a hold on you?
I swear they don't make 'em like that no' more.
You're the kind of a sweetheart that's so easy to love.
I had to lean hard against the wall, help my heart keep a steady pace.
Well, I tell you no lies, I think that you leave a trace.
Are you burning in your mind and your body?
Like something good has got a hold on you?
(said) Are you burning just like me?
Like something good has got a hold on you?

So Many Roses
03:44

I don’t know where I’m going to.
You ask me will I stay true.
Oh, I can not lie.
No, I can not hide from you.
So, where am I going to?
You ask me, if I want to follow you.
But I just don’t know.
It might be the same anywhere I go.
So many roses to a sullen girl.
Sometimes my heart just won’t fit into this world.
So, where am I going to?
If I could, I would follow you
to where you lead,
‘cause I need someone who understands of me.
So many roses to a sullen girl.
Sometimes my heart just won’t fit into this world.
So, so many roses to a sullen girl.

Crawling

How my heart aches
watching you go
though you always did, always did tell me it would be so
How it hurts me know
(there’s) nothing I can do
Oh I keep crawling after you
Now I’m going away
Going so far
Don’t need no ticket to no train
I don’t need no gas to no car
I’m going underground, down the rabbit hole
Yeah, watch me
dig myself a deep hole
And I’m crawling
Baby, I’m crawling
With my cold hands
I try to hold on
For as long as I’m feeling this strong
And I’m crawling
Baby, I’m crawling
With my cold hands
I try to hold on
Holding on so tight.

Spring

When the spring’s so far away
and summer too
uncomfortable in so many ways
can’t seem to say a thing to you
Why
Words are lost now
and I can’t seem to
get back on track somehow
it’s hard
Will you bring me back down again?
Though maybe you should?
Don’t be sad
for all of the good times we’ve had
and all the things we never say
will be buried
at the end of each day
One of these days
we’ll have to find our own sweet ways
and we will be Free
It’ll all be fine
just you wait and see
Don’t be cruel
When you know you’ve got the upper hand
Now the spring’s so far away
I’m hoping it’ll be here soon
‘til then I’ll remain this fool
One day I will tell it all to you.

Rowing
03:28
|

|
I thought I saw you
No, no, I’m sure
Across the water, rowing over to me
Maybe I’m seeing things but how could I be sure
When I turn and walk away I just want more
You look you’re choking on your words
like I’m not just one of them birds
Am I singing to everyone, or just you - You can not know
Am I leaving you high? Am I leaving you low?
Now that you’re close enough to whisper in my ear
Tell me things only I can hear
Now, I’ve been all over, east to west,
from the south to the north
And somewhere along the way I just got bored
It’s no use to run around
trying to occupy my heart each night and day
‘Cause where my heart lit on fire
is where it decided to stay
Oh, rowing with you
Rowing, rowing, with you
Now, I thought I saw you
Mm-hm, I’m sure
Across the water, rowing over to me

How You Been?
03:19
|

|
I haven’t seen you.
Well, it must be days.
I guess it’s just as well,
‘cause I might not bear to.
Sometimes it’s easier to be on your own,
(‘cause) if it does too much damage to be with you.
So, how’ve you been now?
I think you’re doing just fine.
At least I’m hoping
(that) you’re doing all right.
Well, I’m doing good.
Not the same as you maybe.
But it ain’t that different.
(See,) time wears it out.
I haven’t seen you.
Well, it must be months or so.
If I wouldn’t be counting
then how would I know
when enough time has passed?
Though nobody knows when.
I think I never want to lose you.
I think you are my friend.

Humming (the Blues)
03:29
|
|||
|
When the water takes your soul
and you start to feel so cold
When the blues is all you got
but you were hopin’ to die so old.
It’s been so hard living
been so hard just to carry on
I’ve never been this lost.
So, will your Mama, your Papa be there?
Your Brother, well, anyone who cared for ya?
Will they be sad to see you go?

Nightbird Helsinki, Finland
Nightbird (Anna-Stina Jungerstam) sings the soundtrack to sleepless nights, a blend of roots blues deep in mud, moon-gazing melodic guitars and velvet-voiced midnight jazz songs written under the influence of the delta pioneers and a fusion of American and Finnish folk. Her songs are born of her own experience and spin tales from the life of a ramblin’ woman, wise beyond her years. ... more
