Outside The Box
Words and Music by Kate Ashby-Craft
Copyright 2004
Intro
Verse One
I spoke to you the other day
You said I thought you would have moved on
I said why ‘cause my name ain’t in neon lights
well it ain’t about the fame; it’s about staying in the game
and doing what you know you have to do
Chorus
And you can’t quit your soul no you can’t quit your soul
‘cause there’s nothing there but darkness in that hole
Verse Two
Well I’m outside the box and even though I might get lost
I know that I’m never going back
‘cause there’s so much more to see
and there’s so much more to be
and you know that I’m dancing in the light
Chorus
And you can’t quit your soul no you can’t quit your soul
‘cause there’s nothing there but darkness in that hole
Outside the box, Outside the box, Outside the box
Verse Three
I’m drinking coffee for two while I’m smiling at you
And the hourglass is slowly coming down
You ask me where have I been
I say I’ve been to the moon
You say wow, oh wow
Chorus
And you can’t quit your soul no you can’t quit your soul
‘cause there’s nothing there but darkness in that hole
no you can’t quit your soul no you can’t quit your soul
‘cause there’s nothing there, no there’s nothing there, no there’s nothing there but darkness in that . …Outside the box, Outside the box

Let the flame glow bright

Outside the window it’s oh so white
The snows been falling through the night
I know we’ve been here all night long
But it only seems like a moment

The fires all but gone
But in my arms it rages on
Soon the sun will be shinning through
And you and I will bid adieu

Keep your love light burning bright
Till you’re in my arms again

But the memory lingers on

A Love Unknown
Words and Music by Kate Ashby-Craft

Verse One
I never knew you, you never knew me
But who you were drew me there, who you were drew me there
Verse Two
And I listened from some distant place ‘cause my emotions were all spent
You didn’t know who I was, you didn’t even know
Verse Three
When I was young it would have stung but time has let me heal
And I think about what should have been and sadness fills my heart
Bridge
‘cause you didn’t even know me, no you didn’t even know
Chorus
And I mourn your loss and I mourn my loss
‘cause you didn’t even know me, no you didn’t even know
Verse Four
And I think about when you were young and the pain you must have had
Oh when they locked you away and there was no one to care
Verse five
And I think how it had shaped your life in all you’ve said and done
And the love you never had and the love you couldn’t give
Bridge
The love you never had and the love you couldn’t give
Interlude
Chorus
And I mourn your loss and I mourn my loss
For the love you never had and the love you couldn’t give
Verse Six
Now you’re sailing in the big blue sky and now we’ll never know
could a love have ever been, could a love have ever been
Bridge
Could a love have ever been, could a love have ever been
Chorus
And I mourn your loss and I mourn my loss
For the love you never had, for the love I never had and the love we never shared

I’m going to some foreign land to help to build the peace
And though we’ll be far apart you’ll always be in my heart

For you opened up your heart right from the very start
And you gave me all your love so let’s never lose the trust
That took so long to build

Keep knowing; keep showing that your love for me, your love for me is true

From my first cup of coffee till when I turn out the light at night
And I’ll hope and I’ll pray that you’re doing okay
And I know you’ll make me proud

And while you’re away, just remember what I’ve said tonight

We Will Find A Way
Words and Music by Kate Ashby-Craft
Copyright 2005
Verse one
When the telephone rang that night, it broke the silence in the room
And when I heard your trembling voice I knew something wasn’t right
Then you told me you were ill and there may not be much time
Verse two
Through the tears and the fears we’re searching for a miracle
Staring at the darkness but we won’t take no for an answer
And we won’t let this pain keep us down for we still have time
Chorus
We will find a way to make it through; we will find something to hang onto
We’ll climb the highest mountain till the light comes shinning through
For love is on our side and the universe is our guide
Verse three
Every day there’s something new; they’re coming close to a breakthrough
So we’ll hope and pray and do all that we can do
And we’ll hold each other tight as we continue the fight
Chorus
We will find a way to make it through; we will find something to hang onto
We’ll climb the highest mountain till the light comes shinning through
For love is on our side and the universe is our guide
For love is on our side and the universe is our guide
Is our guide the universe is our guide
Is our guide the universe is our guide

THE SEA
Words Anonymous and Kate Ashby-Craft
Music Kate Ashby-Craft
Copyright 2006
Intro
Verse One
I know the sounds of the surging sea the bite of its winter cold
The sting of wind blown spume on cheek the sunset splash of gold
I know the way the breaker curls just before it dies
And tangled bits of broken life where driftwood mutely lies
Chorus
Oh the sea it calls to me
It’s in my bones it’s in my blood
Oh the sea it beckons me
It’s forever in my soul
Verse Two
I know the smells of kelp and mist the shapes on the tidal sand
The limitless spread of horizon’s rim washed rocks on the edge of land
I know the flavour of salty spray red clouds and sun at dawn
White streaks on the backs of breaking waves left from a storm long gone
Chorus
Solo
Verse Three
I’ve watched the boulders in the swash and showers obscure the cape
The endless grey of a stormy sea as scudding clouds change shape
I know the sparkle of sun on waves the hiss on the sea of rain
Half blown cries of gannets and gulls ah-my spirit is there again
Chorus X 2

No Love Here
Words and Music by Kate Ashby-Craft
Copyright 2004
Verse One
It was a moonlight night that brought them together
Two lovers and a stranger their paths did cross
The stranger was a crazed one and he took their lives that night
He didn’t even know it, he didn’t even know it
Chorus
No love here, no love here, no love
Verse Two
The stranger has served his time and yet his end is nigh
Soon you’ll take him from his cell and final darkness he will face
You will think that justice will be done so let the blood sport begin
You may think that justice has been done but now there’s blood upon your soul
Chorus
No love here, no love here, no love
Solo
Verse Three
Three families stand in silence; their tears are what bind
They come from different sides of the same story
Their children died a senseless death; they leave them with no answers
Only anguish in their hearts, only anguish in their hearts
Chorus
No love here, no love here, no love here

Memories Of You
Words and Music by Kate Ashby-Craft
Copyright 2006
Verse One
One day you came to me so young and so sweet
And the things that you did endeared me to you
And oh how I’d laugh at all that you’d do
From sunrise to sunset you’d always surprise
Verse Two
You liked shinning things so my pots were your toys
In my garden you’d help I’d dig a hole so would you
Up a tree you would climb but then you couldn’t get down
On the roof you would lie and gaze at the stars
Chorus
Now all that I have are memories of you
Now all that I have are memories of you
Verse Three
Now you and the cat were not best of friends
But the dog loved you dearly and let you climb on her head
And teaching you to forage was the most fun of all
And on my shoulder you’d lie and dream raccoon dreams
Verse Four
Watching you grow was a wondrous thing
And the trust that you gave meant more then you’ll know
But then you were grown and I knew you must go
For the call of the wild was calling you home
Chorus
Bridge
Now sometimes at night I think that I hear you
And I run to the window but you’re not there
Chorus
Verse Five
As time passes by I wonder how you are
And I’m hoping you’re safe and living your life
And oh how I wish that I could see you again
But deep in my heart I know that you’re gone
Chorus X 2

Un Canadien Errant
Antoine Gerin-Lajoie (public domain 1837)
Verse One
Un Canadien errant banni de ses foyers
Once a Canadian lad exiled from hearth and home
Parcourait en pleurant des pays etrangers
Walked in a foreign land tearful and so a lone
Verse Two
Un jour triste et pensif, assi au bord des flots
Down by a river wide, he spent so many days
Au courant fugitive il adressa ces mots
The water rushing by heard him proclaim this phrase
Interlude
Verse Three
“Si tu vois mon pays, mon pays malheureux
If you reach Canada my home and native land
Va dis a mes amis que je me souviens d’eux
Please speak to all my friends so they will understand”
Verse Four
“Non, mais en expirant, o mon cher Canada!
Canada my dear Land as I in exile lie.
Mon regard languissant vers toi se portera
My thoughts will be of you until the day I die”
