My Lyrics To “We’ll Meet Again” By Jeremy Blake (More Tears)

Candid Corvid Productions

By Athena Stairs – June 20, 2026

When I was young

I dreamed that I’d find the one

And every day my heart would look for you

But no one came and my life was just the same

And at times I felt my heart was split in two

Then ever did I wander far

Looking out for every star that fell to earth

Because I swore there’d come a day

Now reaching far beyond my faith

Daring not to hesitate I swear I’ll find a way to bring you home to me

Where you’ll stay

Here with me

So every day I won’t give my love away

Because I know it belongs just to you

Here I’ll stand without making my demands

Because I know your heart must feel it too

When you wish upon a falling star

Wondering how near or far just know

I’d give the world to see you smile again

And whenever you’re feeling blue

I will always come on through because I’ve come to see I’m where I long to be

I will stay

Here waiting

You belong to me

“High Rollin'” (Song)

Candid Corvid Productions

By Athena Stairs – June 15, 2026

By Athena Stairs

This’s ’bout somethin’ else in a way babe

Eagerness always fell to the wind

But when I look at you there’s no playin’

And when I walk away it’s a sin

‘Cause I got high rollin’

Must be goin’

To different destinations

I know I can’t win

High rollin’

My heart’s got me moanin’

Ever since I turned away

And you went on your own again

Well you just gotta see

This ain’t the norm for me

Imma like a bird I’ve gotta fly free

But when I turn my back

I just can’t find the track

It don’t seem fair to say

You mean the world to me

Because I’m high rollin’

Gettin’ goin’

Where I been ain’t many seen

High rollin’

Can’t stand ownin’

All this heartache you gave to me

Can’tcha see

That your changin’ everythin’ in me

Now I know you’re the same

It’s why I like you

We understand the birds and bees

Yeah we ain’t kissed but babe I meant to

But when I see you I just freeze

I’m on my knees

There ain’t no one who can get me

The way that you affect me

It doesn’t make me feel secure

And I just gotta keep on runnin’ on

Because I’m high rollin’

Gotta keep on goin’

And I know I’m goin’ nowhere now

I’m high rollin’

There ain’t no place for goin’

I ain’t got no more heart to say “no how”

Because my high rollin’

Man its gettin’ slowin’

And I just gotta turn myself around

I ain’t seen no one like you

Though I’m feelin’ like a fool

I gotta turn this boat around

I’ve been high rollin’ where the leaves are blowin’

And I hate to keep my feet on ground

But this high’ rollin’ is gettin’ no wind

There ain’t no life without you around

So let’s get high rollin’

Let’s get goin’

I can’t play another game

‘Cause when this high rollin’ gets to knowin’

This whole world will look the same

I guess I’m tryna tell ya that I love ya

But I ain’t never ever won this bet

If we could get together change the rules up

Honey maybe we could win this yet

We’d be high rollin’

Doesn’t matter where we’re goin’

High rollin’ you and me

We’d be high rollin’

Gettin’ goin’

Winnin’ over land or over sea

Let’s get high rollin’

‘Cause it’s high time that we’re ownin’

What this love has done to you and me

No more night crawlin’

Tears and bawlin’

Maybe it’s for you and it’s for me

Let’s get high rollin’

Move these ebbs to flowin’

We’ve been stuck too long in misery

Let’s get high rollin’

Gettin’ goin’

There’s a whole new world to see

High rollin

High rollin’

Baby I’m for you and you’re for me

So let’s get high rollin’

Got to get us goin’

I know that I’ve been blind but now I see

“Thinking Of You” (Song)

Candid Corvid Productions

By Athena Stairs – June 15, 2026 Early AM

Don’t tell me that it’s too soon or late

No I can’t hesitate

Oh I just can’t wait for you

Every day it’s in my way

Oh I contemplate

But there’s no debating my love for you

Ooh

What should I do?

Feelin’ so blue

Don’t debate

It’s too late when you turn around

No solid ground where love used to be

Arms waiting for you

“Back Up Girl” (Song)

Candid Corvid Productions

By Athena Stairs – June 12, 2026

I’ll be your back up singer

Come at beck and your call

I’ll take your mind on siesta

While I’m givin’ my all

I’ll be your bar room maiden

Pick you up when you fall

But I won’t stand by waitin’

Without gettin’ a call

And if you’re cruisin’ for a bruisin’

I’m the one they can’t beat

And if it’s romance that you’re needin’

Sweep you off of your feet

But if it’s time you’re a’ wastin’

Shakin’ white as a sheet

There’ll be no love that we’re makin’

Without heat for your feet

And when the stars are a-risin’

After daylight has set

Your keepin’ eyes on horizon

Lookin’ for that sure bet

I’m worth the risk you’ll be takin’

Bet you can’t wait n’ see

“Cause babe they’ll be no forsakin’

When you’re here next to me

So get your back up baby

Yeah get up off of that seat

I’ll be your back up baby

A life with me’s really neat

So lift your chin up honey

‘Cause I’ve got a nice treat

It’s what you’ve dreamed of darlin’

Ain’t nobody like me

I’ll get your back up baby

So get your back up baby

Yeah step on back up honey

I’ve got your clover luck love

Set aside just for you

Ain’t no one else above

Just saved for you

From Heaven above

SunRise (Song)

Candid Corvid Productions

By Athena Stairs – June 5, 2026

As we fly

Over all the memories

High above all reveries

I’ll hold you

To me

In your eyes

Brighter than a diamond’s light

Greater than the heavens might

There’s a truth

We see

Wherever

Fate would have us press our wings

Driven to find reasoning

I’ll show you

The keys

And you’ll see

Nothing can prevent our course

Sanctified by past remourse

We’re written in stars

I love you

More than any words can sing

Where winter ends I’ll be your spring

And we’ll know

Such peace

You’re coming home today with me

We’re gonna find that life’s complete

And every dream we ever had

Will no longer be mad or sad

Because we’ll have our second chance together

And you’ll know

You belong

To me

Yeah

We’ll have

Our destiny

“Take It Slow” (Country Song)

Candid Corvid Productions

By Athena Stairs, Valentine’s Day 2026

Well

She was a wide-eyed beauty
Lookin’ for adventure
She didn’t know
Who she could trust

So I told her to
Come here gently
Don’t ya let the fear win
I bet you got plenty of buck left in ya

‘Cause your lookin’ for a man
Ain’t been into danger
You don’t need to worry
‘Cause I ain’t in no hurry

We can get real cozy
Take it like we’re dozy
You know I like it when
You’re playin’ hard to get

And I know you need to be cautious
But darlin’ you’re lookin’ luscious

You aint seen nuthin’ at all yet
Come here close and I’ll tell you a secret

We could walk out that door
Promise you’ll want more
And then when we’re finished
We’ll start it all again

‘Cause this is
Oh my mama
Your lookin’ like a goddess

And one thing you’ll notice
Is baby I can take it real
Slow

Mmmm

Yeah

Oh babe
We’ll take it

Nice and
Slow

Mmmm

Mmmm

Baby
We can take it real
Slow

So when you’re feelin’ all alone
Well you know where to find me

And I can tell you need a friend
So come on over talk to me

You know I’ll be the one you need
There ain’t nothin’ can stop me

I’ve got a love for you that lasts
Beyond the controversy

Welcome home

You know we’ve got at last our chance
That we’ve been so long dreamin’ of

With you I wanna have this dance
More sacred than they speak of

When we look back we’re gonna laugh
How quickly we fell into love

With no regrets we’ll take our time
Worthy at last to come alive

Yeah
Welcome home

Oh my love
Welcome home

(Instrumental break)

And now you know our love is true
So come and put your heart on me

We’ve got some things we’ve gotta proove
Let’s get to writin’ destiny

Me & You (Song)

Candid Corvid Productions

By Athena Stairs, January 31, 2026

And I

Long for you in wastelands
Where life is bitter hell

I long for you in darkness
Where hope can barely tell

I long for you in mountains
And through the hills and dales

I long for you in sadness
Where swollen tears once fell

I long for you in madness
Where mind’s gone out of sight

I long for you in gladness
As wish to share your might

I long for you when wistful
When love is just a wish

I long for you impassioned
As dreaming of your kiss

And if you were a demon
I would want you just the same

And if could find my voice right now
I’d always call your name

And when you’re seeking solace
I will be right here for you

And as the puppet becomes man
We’ll make a life brand new

“What We Long To Say” (Song)

Candid Corvid Productions

By Athena Stairs, January 27, 2026

I’m the one
Who’s goin’ to feed ya

And I’m the one
Who’s goin’ to please ya

Don’t even think a sec
To run away

I will find you
In the garden

In subtle breeze
My guidance haunts ya

Yeah I’m the one
Who doesn’t turn away

And when you look
Into the mirror

You can flip
To fear your finger

The time at last
Has come to seize our day

So when you’re ready
Come and find me

We can talk
Get to unwinding

All we need is love
To light our way

“Change The Game” (Song)

Candid Corvid Productions

By Athena Stairs, January 22, 2026

I keep waiting in your
Time of heart’s debating
Baby you’ve got to be entwine

While we’re demonstrating
Days run by as wasting
What we could have thats divine

And you
Oh

I want you
Dont you know?

And all these revelations
Ache to claim temptation
I just want to make you mine

But even though you feel it too
Nothing that we say can prove
Unless you reach out for me and decide

And you
Our fantasies in real life should collide

And I
Feel terrified to let your heart inside

So we just keep on playing
Check mate darling I’m just sayin
Won’t you come to me and do this right?

Cause every day I’m losing ground
A solid stance no place is found
My love just keeps on calling in the dark

And you
We should never part

And I
Need you to show me how to start

(Rhythm goes on to build into a final clash shout of “HEEEY!”)

“I Wanna Be With You” (Folk Song)

Candid Corvid Productions

By Athena Stairs, January 20, 2026

(Intro guitar)

I can’t stand the distance
Been too far away from you

There’s lot’s that we are missin’
I know you know it’s true

And every day I’m wishin’
We could start over again

But the world just keeps on spinnin’
And I’m here without my friend

(Guitar with beat, light banjo, and open folk violin)

And every day’s a highway
Where I long to see your face

I’m hopin’ you’ll come my way
And the world will fill with grace

Weather rain or sunshine
All I need is your embrace

The mountains high to valleys low
You’re the memory I trace

(Big bass and open folk violin carry with guitar and occasional deep blow jar)

So if your happy or your sad
Hon I’ll be the one for you

You know that together
Well there’s nothin’ we can’t do

The sun will rise the stars will fall
And the heavens shine brand new

Our lovin’ is the gold mine
So I sing this song for you

(Outro all instruments filling to the end’s fade)

I caught a passing snippet of a dream interaction as I was waking this morning, where a young folk singin’ man like John Denver played on a big wooden guitar and was slow-roll pick-strummin’ his strings smoothly. I added in an open tic-a-tac beat sometimes joining at transitional points and other instruments. He started the song for me to carry on through to here and add my own lyrics, as well as gentle shifts and the above. Thanks friendly folk singer for giving me a start to another sweet song for the man I love.

The Pulse Of Love

Candid Corvid Productions

They were traveling together for the first time while it was unfolding, and a younger assistant showed her all of the lyrics written out, published in a journal’s paper.

And as she continued listening to it playing while she read how they were printed, she realized that each small grouping of words lasted for quite a few minutes of experience.

Therefore, the song was a very long one – longer, perhaps, than many before.

As their air car landed and she got out with her guy, she wrapped her arms around him from behind as he sat down breifly on a bench, then nuzzled her nose and face into the nape of his neck, breathing in his scent and glorying in the way his warmth and hair felt against her skin.

“It’s perfect, don’t you think?” she murmured as she kissed just below his ear, feeling the heat of his pulse quicken against her lips.

“A real love song should be long and stretch out in a kind of forever so that lovers can expand into and have their joys and hopes supported as they are mirrored by it.”

“Spun Around” (Song Repost W/ Lyrics)

Candid Corvid Productions

By Athena Stairs, December 5, 2025

I’ve been holdin’ on here
Comin’ tends to another year

Please don’t fault me
I’m feelin’ lonely

Every time I turn around
Fears and worries make a sound

When love’s intangible
It’s uncomfortable

And if my feet should leave the ground
Don’t hesitate to turn me ’round
‘Cause I’m fallin’ for you hard

Can we find a better way
There’s only so much I can say
When I’m loving from the heart

Where did you go?
And where do you roam?

I long to be with you
To start life over brand new

Why are we apart
What good is this for our heart?

And you
I don’t know what to say

‘Cause you
Take my breath away

Oh

When all I’ve ever known
Has chilled me to the bone

Oh

And I would choose a better way
Can you see me?
Come this day

Oh
Ah

Never in my life before
Have I wanted something more

And you
Oh
Are my dream come true

Don’t you see me?
Can’t you say
We can find a better way?

Oh

Every time I turn around
My feet keep slipping off the ground

Oh

Oh Baby I’m dyin’
You’re leavin’ me cryin’

And I don’t understand
But you won’t believe

Oh
Hey

Won’t you believe in me
I tried to make you see

That we were born to be

Why don’t you come and share your frustration?
Nothing’s perfect we’ve always seen

Pulling hair as we scream in vexation
God this world’s just filled with greed

Won’t you have faith in me?
Oh Baby can’t you see?

That you were made for me
No

Won’t you have faith in me?
Won’t you have faith in me?

Our love was meant to be
Have faith in me

“On My Own” (Singin’ The Blues)

Candid Corvid Productions

By Athena Stairs, December 25, 2025

I’ve looked for my marbles
Not sure where they’ve gone

While drowsy from sleep
Thought I’d write this cute song

There are ghosts in the hall
But I keep them from talkin’

At times flick a light
To interrupt their stalkin’

When takin’ a shower
I’m careful with balance

No bars on the wall
Means slippin’s a menace

And when try to cook
I’m chasin’ ingredients

If you like your food charred
My skills are ingenius

My garden is wet
So rarely smell flowers

The hound can still fetch
But I throw with weak power

My homework has died
From a smack to my thinkin’

The synapses fire
But gaps signal blinkin’

Want to make my own music
But readin’s gone faulty

My eyes seekin’ guidance
Fight overload mentality

My logic’s alright
But I’ve fallen in love

Still lonely at night
When could fit like a glove

But I’ll be alright
It’s been years on my own

Try to live a moral life
So no need to atone

I fight back determined
Where demons encroach

Still seems human plight that
Our souls are bare-boned

“Truly, Madly” (Song)

By Athena Stairs, January 7, 2025

My Love
Come as you are
We don’t need perfection

Baby
Come as you are
Cut through distraction

I need you to see
Everything you already
Mean to me

My biggest regret
Is time wasted
Between us

When we could have been
Together building trust

And honestly
I need you closer
Than ever

I’m glad we’ve had time
To figure out where we stand

But I missed you in the holidays
Not holding my hand

Its a New Year now
Let’s ride this horse
To town

We can share the reins
From slow walk to
Gallops insane

Come on Baby
No need to impress
You’re already the best

Anything you wanna give to me
Help me ease into it and
I’ll welcome it gladly

Want you

Can’t you see
It’s tearin’ at me?

No

You can’t ’cause
I hide it too much

But

You wouldn’t want me
To display it openly

Unless we knew
We knew for sure

‘Cause I can’t just
Give this to anybody

You’ve got a home
Here deep inside me

Waitin’ while
I’m hesitatin’

Until I know

If I Were Honest (Song)

Candid Corvid Productions

By Athena Stairs, December 14, 2025

Baby,

There’d be Hell to pay
For you walking away

You see,

You’ve put a harder load on me
Where our love could set us free

So tell me,

How are you gonna make it up to me?
I don’t need a huge display – just honesty

Stop being hard to get
I am tired of it!

We deserve so much better than this

What’s the excuse?

Too complicated?
Too confused?

Do you think I can’t handle it?

This lock isn’t that hard to tumble
But I need your help to release it

Stop teasing me and
Get right down to business!
