The House

The House
The House is aglow
And surrounded by peace
A crescent moon glows
From the blanket of blue darkening blue
Stitches of stars appear
The clouds move over us like ghosts
Drifting to the sound in the distance
The trees black against the sky
The old house is alive
I am reminded of our first night
Covered in the calm evening
When the dreads of the day are over
Over us like ghosts
One bat flits swooping
The cats curled and sleeping
More stars now
What is it we love so much
About this faded house
Her windows lit looking out
Keeping us safe
As we find her flaws and blame her age
She’s seen so much
Bloom and die inside her (inside her)
Holding j o y
Mysteries and sorrow s o r r o w
With beauty and pride
The House is Alive

Here Comes the Dawn
It started to rain as I drove away
It was the perfect ending to a not so perfect day
My secrets were hidden forgotten like my pain
It was a narrow climb I’d been afraid of the night
Would anybody love me Would anybody love me
For my whole life
You come and you go your easy to know
But your getting old
She wanted to change you
You wanted what you wanted at the time
So did I
Now will anybody love you
Will anybody love you
The way she tried
Nothing to catch me I don’t know how to go on
Feeling feelings no-one can depend on
To easy to be lost to easy to be wrong
Holding on waitin’..
But here comes the da aaa aaan aaa a awwn
Here comes the da aaawwn aawn aawn

She Goes Away

She Goes Away
She hides a little bit behind her smile
She smiles a little bit like a child
But that memory is fading faster than you can chase
And your heroes evaporate
Are you hungry like me
Reaching for the bread in the basket
And blink the stinging ocean from your eyes
She hides a little bit behind her smile
She hides a little bit for a while
All my fears that keep me here on the ground
Waiting in the wings of my haunted dreams
Afraid to make a sound
Ooh letting go
Cause its already slipping
She’s already slipping away
And when she goes she goes away
And nobody knows
When she goes she goes away
And nobody knows
The way

I Am Nature

I Am Nature
I am nature
Finding a way
Squeezing between the cracks
Coming back
I am the long winter
I am the spring
I am the flower
Gone to seed
You can cut me down
You can drown me out
You can concrete over
But I am finding a way
Do I die
Do I age and fade
I am not a simple thing
And I do forgive
If I can forgive myself
I can be resurrected
Cause I am the mountain
And its been a loooonnnng time comin’
Wont you stand
With your face in the sun
Won’t you believe
Won’t you become

Summer Never Came
Isn’t it a shame that your oh so quiet
Nothing you could change
But you still deny it
Forgetting how to pray
Still a burning flame
Pictures that you paint
Whisper what you can’t say
And oh the fairytale devoured
Only the wreckage and the flowers
Blooming in the rain
Blooming in the rain
Blooming in the rain
When summer never came
Summer Never Came
What is this heavy burden
I see troubles deep and wide
My heart is aching
Watch it all unwind
Shadows of grey
And my thoughts are far away
Shadows of grey getting in the way
Nevermind the pain
Blooming in the rain
Blooming in the rain
Blooming in the rain
When summer never came
Summer Never Came

Young Love

Young Love
I watch the days on the calendar move
Counting all the days
Till all the days are over
Till the flowers have died and dried
Only young love is dreaming
Only young love is dreaming
What do we have
What do we ever have
But a sweet memory easily forgetting
Only young love is dreaming
Only young love is dreaming
Staring down the barrel of eternity
Trying to try to be
Try to get the devil out of me
Come and go fast and slow
Down the river over the rainbow
Only young love young love
Only young love young love
Only young love is dreaming
Only young love is dreaming

The Fire and The Dragon
Whats become of
All that was and went
And then and then
Everything is beginning
To begin
Again
But the fire and the dragon
And your sharp words cut like daggers
And your feelings are starting to show
The fire and the dragon
And your sharp words cut like daggers
And your feelings are starting to show
Back in flashes
Sunrises
Empty promises and grand prizes
Blind sided by phantom plans
And partnership cannot mend
Why’s it always sad at the end
Why’s it always sad at the end
Waiting for it to begin again
The fire and the dragon
And your sharp words cut like daggers
And your feelings are starting to show
The fire and the dragon
And your sharp words cut like daggers
And your feelings are starting to show
Your feelings are starting to show
Your feelings are starting to show
Your feelings are starting to show
..the livin’ and the leavin’
and the lions at the back door..

Only Angels
Many a days I’ve wandered
Many I have spent
Wishing Waiting Wanting
And all I’ve done a detriment
I’d wade across the waters
Climb the mountain steep
To gaze into the darkness
And sing the child to sleep
But all across the valley
I see the darkness grow
And I am shrinking
sinking
Down
down
below
A waterfall of sorrow
A waterfall of sorrow
Because nothing can be caught or c a r r i e d
From here
And only angels know
Life without fear
We went where the waters took us
Many a mile from shore
I was singing like a panther
Dying for a cure
But there are no easy answers
When the questions only hide
We carve and hammer
Spit and bleed to come out the other side
A waterfall of sorrow
A waterfall of sorrow
Because nothing can be caught or c a r r i e d
From here
And only angels know
And only angels know
Life without fear
Only angels know
Life
Without
Fear

Sarah Asher Cincinnati, Ohio
Sarah Asher was a fixture in the Columbus, Ohio music scene where she recorded three EP’s and a full length album before she
split town for a 10 year stent in the hills of Kentucky. Sensing the hollow places in her ukulele dreams she found inspiration beginning again with a garden and a guitar.
The artist currently resides in the greater Cincinnati area where she performs locally and regionally.
