    "emotionally sincere and honest…

    When you’re an artist as passionate as Collins clearly is, you probably have no choice but to let the world hear everything you have to say.” —VC Reporter

    LYRICS

    Left to Learn

    It was over yesterday
    it was over this morning
    it’s been over every day this week.
     

    I went to the store
    I bought his favorite foods
    so he’d stop eating away at my dreams.
     

    and I’m begging for quiet
    I'm…

    Cracked Window

    A broken day 
    no way 
    to have a say 
    or make my stand 

    I’m at your door 
    a crumpled whore 
    pour myself in your hands

    Just My Love

    I get the feeling
    you’re getting nervous 
    that time I touched your arm 
    Just a passing spark of my passion 
    made it clear the game is on

    Love Me Like That

    Last night I heard a beautiful
    poem about love 
    a cowboy to his woman
    the one he called his home 
    Every breath she took
    seemed to bring his soul to life 
    And everything he did
    he did for his wife

    One Girl Town

    Wandering around
    this heartless town 
    restless and aching to write 
    a letter to you all about you 
    to say that I love you 
    but it’s too soon to tell

    Staring at the Dark

    I’m sitting in my bedroom
    staring at the dark 
    The dog woke me up again
    five a.m. sharp 
    So I dug out a pencil
    to write you some words 
    while I waited
    for the sun to come

    Sometimes

    By the side
    of the Ventura Freeway 
    a warehouse
    in a blaze of orange fire 
    reminded me of you 
    reminded me of you

    These Eyes Don't Lie

    La la la la la la la la  La la la la 
    La la la la la la la la  La la la la 

    Absolute 
    You called me absolute 
    I swallowed my refute 
    You’re so damned astute 
    What will you do now that you
    have caught a glimpse of me? 
    Will you stay
    or will you need convincing?

    Turn

    They say you don’t know
    what choice you will make 
    ‘till the day you’re staring
    your life in the face 
    Then you’ll know
    what sort of caliber you shoot 
    and which direction
    and what targets you’ll choose

    Weather Gets Warm

    Looked out this morning
    the sky was falling down
    the ice was forming in mid-air
    crashing like bones
    breaking when they meet with
    unforgiving ground

    $14.00

    Complete lyrics to all the songs on ONE GIRL TOWN—This hand-bound lyric book contains my reflections on writing the One Girl Town album, and all the words to the songs. It speaks to the heart of anyone looking to understand and express their own growth process. From the intro: "It can happen that life runs a course that renders us invisible to ourselves...If we are really lucky, we will find some thing, and this thing leads us to ourselves. Writing One Girl Town was that thing. I started on a quest to re-discover what made me…me. I had no idea I was on this quest, of course—all I knew is that it was time to start writing songs."
