Will keep you by my side But you must
G Am G Am
Give me love or give me nothing at all/Give me love or give me nothing at all
G Am

G
I know our time is precious And we are small
E
I ask that you forgive me
Am
For I can't stand the blame
I only hope that grace
G

Have driven up a wall
E
In distance we are living
Am
The silence screams it all Our union now is drifting

If it survives the squall You must CHORUS

Dreams
(Norine Braun)
"Dreams" has an acoustic singer-songwriter sound as it hauntingly describes a death in a blizzard, and the promise that they'll meet again in dreams."
Dreams Last winter came a snow I had to let you go A whiteout that blinded Tears stream But I will always have you in dreams We find our way home back in dreams You’re warm here beside me My dreams Have told you how frozen The north wind is blowing Past dreams, past dreams Your ice storm broke the flow Crystals around you glowed as you said goodbye to the rain And I will always have you in dreams We find our way home back in dreams You’re warm here beside me My dreams Have told you how frozen The north wind is blowing Past dreams, past dreams I promised we’d rest Just a little ways left But I could fell your last breath And a furious chill Swelled up inside me Spilled over and still I begged you don’t leave me You said that you will Love me forever Wait at the nether Of dreams In dreams My dreams Dreams Last winter came a snow I had to let you go A whiteout that blinded In dreams ©Norine Braun SOCAN All Rights Reserved

Mantra
(Norine Braun)
Do do do do do do....
Whisper all your fears my love
I’ll make them go away for good
Spiral into Mystic waves
Watch us disappear with grace
Do do do do do do....
Whisper all your fears my love
I’ll make them go away for good
Spiral into Mystic waves
Watch us disappear with grace

Crow
(Norine Braun)
She came to me in dreams
Showed how creation preens
Her feathers shone in golden light
Her talons clutched the corn
Her dark eyes fiercely warned
I must awaken, time has come
The crow, the crow caws my name
The crow, the crow caws my name
She keeps a sentinel post
A harbinger of ghosts
Her mystery can irritate
She sometimes lets me close
The world's most gracious host
She swoops to kindly lead the way
The crow, the crow caws my name
The crow, the crow caws my name
She always knows where to find me
Always there to remind me
Better serve up in heaven
Than rule here in hell on earth
She posed a riddle tree
Her mess a reverie
I pardoned her for release
She hopped down and she spoke
Her truth it billowed smoke
She bent her head and kissed my hand
The crow, the crow caws my name
The crow, the crow caws my name
The crow, the crow caws my name
Then the dream takes a strange twist
And I can barely remember the rest
Gets all cloudy but I keep trying
And if I close my eyes I can see her nest
Before I know it I'm flying

Hanna To Hollywood
(Norine Braun)
Amaj7, C9, B9/ F,G /Amaj7 /modulates up one to Bmaj7,D9 C9
I went from Hanna to Hollywood
Nobody told me that I could
I looked for myself in other's eyes
Held back honesty for lies
I searched fortune and fame
But no one knows my name
I'm still the same
I longed for something to make me high
Feel freedom, touch the sky
Feel passions stir inside
Let me know that I'm alive
I thought fortune and fame
But no one knows my name
I'm still the same
I tried to make life happen
It's hard to make things stay
I need to let life happen
It's easier that way or so they say
I wanted someone to climb inside
Show me how to work this ride
I kept waiting for my life to glide
But I find that now is the time
It's not fortune and fame
It's all in the game of believing
There's a reason
I tried to make life happen
It's hard to make things stay
I need to let life happen
It's easier that way or so they say
I went from Hanna to Hollywood
Nobody told me that I could
I looked for myself in other's eyes
Held back honesty for lies
I searched fortune and fame
But no one knows my name
I'm still the same
