B-Side from the Over Land and Sea recording session. lyrics VERSE 1 Pack light, just take what you need Say your goodbyes, we’re leaving tonight The empty roads and open seas Their mysteries are beckoning us on CHORUS We could sail to new frontiers And leave behind all that we hold dear We will keep your memories And make a home anywhere we please VERSE 2 Stories of those early days Of explorations that paved the way for this Leaving all our fear behind Discovering the truth in what we find PRE-CHORUS Where we’re going there’s no turning back Bring a melody or two to keep your heart intact BRIDGE When letters from home Get lost in the mail And we’re all alone On a hope and a prayer

Fragile 03:27
FRAGILE We are fragile needing much We are delicate to the touch We are temporary at best Unaware of what’s next We float through space and time Transient hearts align We are wealthy, given much Keeping all but some to ourselves Hear the call to abandon self But we can’t get outside ourselves Fear of the undiscovered Locks us inside Leave all your inhibitions Embrace this life Leave what you once knew behind Take what is left see what you’ll find
3.
I LOST MYSELF I lost myself today Without even knowing what was happening I’ve got voices in my head Making me think that this is where I end Hey, what do you see, if anything What do you see in me Hey, I’ve lost my way, cause of these mind games They’re making me lost my way You and me we made a plan To travel from here to there and back again Somewhere on that weathered road I found the dreams that I’d been looking for Hey, what do you see, if anything What do you see in me Hey, I’ve lost my way, cause of these mind games They’re making me lost my way Hey, I can see that we have found everything That we’ve been missing Hey, we’ve got the world to see So let’s forget our anxieties and get on our way
4.
LET’S MAKE OUR ESCAPE Where do you wanna go, where do you want to take me Just tell me where and I’ll be there with you By car or airplane it doesn’t matter to me Let’s go into the unknown together Let’s make our escape Oh my darling, let’s go far away Find the greatest hiding place Far away from everything Oh my dear, it’s just you and me With lots of time and much to see And visions of what we can be Maybe someday we’ll come back to this town And find a place that we can call our own When we’ve grown old we’ll still think of these days And in our dreams we’ll fly away together Let’s make our escape Oh my darling, let’s go far away Find the greatest hiding place Far away from everything Oh my dear, it’s just you and me With lots of time and much to see And visions of what we can be Oh my darling, this is our escape Let’s break out and find a way To leave this world a better place Oh my dear no matter where we are Here or there, near or far I’m at home inside your arms
5.
DANCE WITH ME Only the trees heard us As we whispered tender secrets You told me that you loved me And they whispered back their approval So dance with me under the stars And I’ll get lost and found in your arms Safe and sound here on this moonlit night We begin I looked into your eyes Lit up by the starlight Telling tales of days to come Of you and I together So dance with me under the stars And I’ll get lost and found in your arms Safe and sound here on this moonlit night We begin Here we go, here we go

Lullaby 03:52
LULLABY You are a bundle of hopes and dreams Nothing can stop you now Don’t let the weight of the world bring youdown Cause you’ll never be alone Someday I’ll have to let you go But until then I’ll keep you close Always remember these three things Faith hope and brushing your teeth But most importantly Do everything lovingly Love is the greatest of all To live for this is the greatest call For now I’ll keep you safe in my arms Until you’re ready to go, explore The world that you see And all of its mysteries May the world fill you with wonder And may you find all the things that you search for I won’t let any harm Come to you while you’re in my arms But someday I’ll have to let you go Until then I’ll keep you close
7.
WEIGHT OF THE WORLD You’ve got the weight of the world my dear And you don’t know how to let it go Your broken heart hasn’t healed in years But nothing you say would let it show Just let it go, oh let it go Let it go, oh let it go Some things you can’t do alone my dear There’s no easy remedy for loneliness Even though daylight is fading here There’s still time to let it go and breathe again Just let it go, oh let it go Let it go, oh let it go Just let it go, oh let it go Let it go, oh let it go Something in your eyes Suggests you’re breaking up inside, inside Let me take your burdens Give you rest until you decide, decide That you’ve carried on far too long my dera All alone, now alone no more Now is the time to carry on from here To march on and plant your flag where you belong You belong, oh you belong You belong, oh you belong You belong, oh you belong You belong, oh you belong

How It Goes 02:32
HOW IT GOES A voice on the breeze was singing to me It told me everything about the way the world should be Stories of lands across a giant sea Truths to discover and a means to be free And I know that we will never know How the world keeps going how it goes And all this time we’ve spent Waiting for our lives to happen Is time that’s been wasted While the world keeps moving and changing I’ve said my goodbyes now there’s no turning back I’ll keep singing this melody to keep my heart intact And I know that we will never know How the world keeps going how it goes How the world keeps going how it goes And all this time we’ve spent Waiting for our lives to happen Is time that’s been wasted While the world keeps moving and changing And all this time we’ve spent Waiting for our lives to happen Is time that’s been wasted While the world keeps moving and changing And I know that we will never know How the world keeps going how it goes And I know that we will never know How the world keeps going how it goes
9.
OF LIFE AND OF DEATH When you were here I thought we had Plenty of time to talk about all those years past But now you’re gone and all that’s left Is a pile of photographs and memories in my head I’ll never let you go I’ll never let you go From dust we come then someday return All of the moments in between will barely be heard What then shall we say of life and of death Follow your heart while you can and live with no regrets I’ll never let you go I’ll never let you go So I’ll tell them stories so I won’t forget you I’ll keep your photographs so I’ll recognize you I’ll never let you go I’ll never let you go
10.
Love, I Lost 04:19
LOVE, I LOST Love, I lost again Lost the love we shared I wanted to explain But you’d already gone away So I found the place Where we first embraced Where I fell for you Where I found this truth Love, we’re not yet dead We must fight for what we had Won’t you come back home Give us a second chance And we’ll find the place Where we first embraced Where I fell for you Where I found this truth And we’ll find the place Where we first embraced Beginning and the end Could we begin again In the place we started from we’ll fix what went wrong Reignite the fire that died and learn this all again In the place we started from we’ll fix what went wrong Reignite the fire that died and learn this all again And we’ll find the place Where we first embraced Beginning and the end Could we begin again

LIKE THE MIST We are like the morning mist Here just until the sun shows his face I am tired of living for Meaningless Pursuits, chasing after the wind Oh the world has failed To satisfy It’s left me with nothing to show But this hollow shell I am searching for the beauty That you said I’d find in your own time Will this lonely, traveling soul Ever find what it’s looking for? The temporary nature Of this earthly home Cannot silence the song Of eternity That resonates in our hearts And leads us towards Finding the meaning of life And where we belong I hope you find what you’re looking for

about

Lauren Mann Pender Island, British Columbia

Memory & Desire was born out of uncertainty, and came from epiphanies of hope between the questions. Recorded at Lauren’s home in the Gulf Islands, it is an intimate marker of the passage of time, holding space between who she was and who she will be. With deeper honesty and a renewed effervescence, Lauren Mann is taking herself and her music back to her roots and creating authentic art. ... more
