Sweet Surrender (Schouten/Jasink) I’ve been waiting to long Trying to be what you want from me I’ve been adjusting to long Skin crackles the daylight out of me Sweet sweet surrender I render me over to me Sweet sweet surrender Someone to watch over me You caught me dancing out in the moonlight Stole away my clothes I took pity on your sad face I lived my live as your Sweet sweet surrender I render me over to me Sweet sweet surrender Someone to watch over me Like the apple on the tree Like the bird falling free I am on a cliff of amazing jumps Coming closer Slowly falling over me I jump back in to the sea Gotta find my way back home Find my way back I’m gonna jump back into the sea of me Sweet sweet surrender I render me over to me Sweet sweet surrender Someone to watch over me Acoustic guitar: Ben Jasink Vocals: Nicole Schouten Acoustic bass: Henk Mellema Vocals on second version: Thierno Barry Bataxaal Daatudo!!

Old Rain (Schouten/Jasink) The day dawned reluctantly Longing for the sun to go down So she could rest her weary head And dream on, dream on And she opens the window Has no word for the sky That touches her cheeks And the earth smells like old rain She waits at the doorstep Sun coloured honey today Softening her want For it might sweep her away And she opens the window Has no word for the sky That touches her cheeks And the earth smells like old rain Mrs. Julia waits at the door Mrs. Julia waits a bit more, a bit more There’s a soft smell of regret And dreams she might chase on If only today where the day She could stay And she opens the window Has no word for the sky That touches her cheeks And the earth smells like old rain And the earth smells like old rain Acoustic guitars: Ben Jasink, René Holthuis Vocals and lyrics: Nicole Schouten Double bass: Albert Bartelds Percussion: Ben van de Bunt

Turn To You (Schouten/Bartelds/Holthuis) I lie beside you in the dark So familiar your twists and turns I touch your skin it feels like my own I know you so well now And I will always turn to you No matter I don’t know that what I see is really you Not quite sure I’m holding you or are you holding me? Could it be, I know you, you know me I cry beside you in the dark So familiar the way that you do You touch my skin, it feels so close now I know this so well now And I will always turn to you No matter I don’t know that what I see is really true Not quite sure I’m holding you or are you holding me? Could it be, I know you, you know me Acoustic guitars: Albert Bartelds, René Holthuis, Martin van de Vrugt Acoustic bass: Henk Mellema Vocals and lyrics: Nicole schouten Backing vocals: Aylinn Holthuis Harmonica, percussion: Martin van de Vrugt

You Lost Me There (Schouten/Jasink) I lie in the dark Throbbing heart and catching breath In the silence surrounding me I lie perfectly still Raging, raging in the boundaries of me I chose clarity I chose the nearness of you and me I chose not to speak in tongs no more You lost me there You lost me there Whispering voices in the dark Speak what we cannot say during the day We move around each other eyes closed Gazing into the light I chose clarity I chose the truth between you and me I chose not to speak in tongs no more You lost me there You lost me there I am floating in an opal glass bowl Through space I never crash I’m invisible I lie in the dark Throbbing heart and catching breath In the silence surrounding me I lie perfectly still Raging, raging in the boundaries of me I chose clarity I chose the truth between you and me I chose not to speak in tongs no more You lost me there You lost me there Acoustic guitar:Ben Jasink Vocals and lyrics: Nicole Schouten Acoustic bass: Henk Mellema Percussion: Ben van de Bunt

So Hard To Find (Schouten/Jasink) I’m angry, so unhappy Like to take it out on you And I bite the hand that feeds me Smash it to pieces all night through All night through It’s easy to be sharp Easy to be fierce But it’s hard, so hard To find peace in your arms And lay me down The rage is in my throat Bursting it’s way out And with it comes the filth Jumping free, jumping free While I shout at you I do, I shout at you And it’s easy to be sharp Easy to be fierce But it’s hard, so hard To find peace in your arms And lay me down And the hurting is in the bitching Curled up small inside And it would love to reach you But it can only hide Inside the wild and fury Inside the aching storm Inside where it’s most unnoticed For the shelter is the storm Easy to be sharp So easy to be fierce But it’s hard, so hard To find peace in you arms And lay me down Acoustic and Electric guitar:Ben Jasink Vocals and lyrics: Nicole Schouten Acoustic bass: Henk Mellema

Almost There (Schouten/Jasink) I wanna leave this place And go to – where ever you can find me I close my eyes – I see your face You’re smiling at me And I can almost see you coming now While I’m waiting for you I hold myself Anticipating – anticipating you I’ll make a picture of my face And put in in every place you might be passing Just close your eyes and see my face I’m smiling at you And I can almost see you coming now While I’m waiting for you I hold myself Anticipating - anticipating you And you’re almost there, almost there Yeah you’re almost there, almost there And I can almost see you coming now While I’m waiting for you I hold myself Anticipating – anticipating you And you’re almost there Almost there, just a few steps Acoustic guitars: Ben Jasink Vocals and lyrics: Nicole Schouten Acoustic bass: Henk Mellema Percussion: Ben van de Bunt

Full Moon Rising (Schouten/Jasink) I need to find myself in open space At the wild waters of the River Glace I love to let her sound hushing mine Hushing my mind You lift me up and put me down again With so much care in the gentle stream of Love and Bliss That’s what it is, what it is Looking to be whole again I step into the stream Is to lose myself, is to gain And the trees sing Yeah, the trees sing There’s a full moon rising Yeah yeah yeah Full moon rising Acoustic guitar:Ben Jasink Vocals and lyrics: Nicole Schouten Backing vocals; Aylinn Holthuis, Nicole Schouten Acoustic bass: Henk Mellema Harmonica: Martin van de Vrugt Percussion: Ben van de Bunt

Sorrow (Schouten/Bartelds/Holthuis) Sorrow is a picture that you cannot get clear, But you carry it around, Makes you humble, makes you bound To find excuses and places to run to, Addictions to full fill - all your dreams And the things that you hoped for When you were little and free Sorrow is a picture that you hold in your hand And you turn it to the light again and again Reminiscing on your fate and the God that you hate Is the same one as you run to Feet are stumbling in the dark When you were little and free Make me believe in you Make me believe in you Sorrow is a picture that you turn in your mind Never showing it upfront, Always keeping some behind Closed curtains, paradise attics, Make believe conversations An actor with a cause When you were little and free Make me believe in you Make me believe in you Acoustic guitars: Albert Bartelds, René Holthuis, Ben Jasink, Martin van de Vrugt Vocals and lyrics: Nicole Schouten

Slippery Path of Love (Schouten/Jasink) You send me a card again Saying it would be nice to see me You send my heart turmoil again Saying it would be nice to please me You made a lot of pictures In your mind of me Sliding down the slippery path of love I enter your room again Blue inside and all around me You’re casting your spell again Knowing I don’t know to resist you You made a lot of pictures In your mind of me Sliding down the slippery path of love Of love I slide the slippery path of love Again I walk away at last Knowing you will not come to hold me You had your fill again Knowing you will not come to mend me You made a lot of pictures In your mind of me Sliding down the slippery path of love Of love I slide the slippery path of love Again Acoustic guitar: Ben Jasink Vocals and lyrics: Nicole Schouten Steelguitar: Martin van de Vrugt

Don’t go out (Schouten/Jasink) I am standing by the window My hands on the glass – nose pressed My breath turns back to me in damp As I am looking out Into the moving stream Wherein everybody swims Waiting for someone to come Could be you but I fear it has to be me But I don’t go out Don’t know how to go out Or for you to let in I am like an isle of silence No sound but my breath I breath to the glass Shy to the bone I stay alone, I stay home No, I don’t go out Don’t know how to go out Or for you to let in No, I stay in, I stay in Don’t know how to out Or for you to let in Acoustic guitar: Ben Jasink Vocals and lyrics: Nicole Schouten Ambient soundscape, mandoline, steelguitar: Martin van de Vrugt

Yellow Butterfly (Schouten/Jasink/Mellema) Yellow butterfly, where are you heading? Somewhere sweet, somewhere sunny? Yellow butterfly, are you alone? Or is someone waiting, waiting for you? Waiting, waiting for you And I sit here in my garden Heavy heart on the ground And I wonder: should I fly? Yellow butterfly, yellow butterfly Acoustic guitar: Ben Jasink Vocals and lyrics: Nicole Schouten Backing vocals: Aylinn Holthuis Percussion: Ben van de Bunt Acoustic bass: Henk Mellema Harmonica: Martin van de Vrugt Steelguitar: Martin van de Vrugt
