Believe
Copyright 2009, Victoria Bailey
I want to believe
I want to write sweet words
I want to believe
I want to be that girl
In that long line of angels
To be the one that you love most
And when I'm heading for the pavement
You pull me in and hold me close
If only I could hope
And know the things you know
If only I could hope
While I'm waiting in the cold
In that long line of angels
To be the one that you love most
And when I'm heading for the pavement
You pull me in and hold me close
So close, so close,
So close
I torch the sin and so it rises
The fragrance of a burning lot
I know a love come to save us
And so I give you all I've got
Angels Surround You
Copyright 2005, Victoria Bailey
I've waited days to hear back from you
And all the blackbirds are crying for you
These strings are worn, I am alone
These days we're living and full grown
Oh, silk and finery, stand beside me
I'd take the subway, but I'm in Tennessee
This sweater won't keep me from cold
We've all been warned but we still get old
It'll be a good day when I see your face
But I'd take your voice over nothing today
Oh, silk and finery, stand beside me
I'd take the subway, but I'm in Tennessee
Look to the mountains, look to the sky
All of the angels surround you tonight
All of the angels surround you tonight
Daylight
Copyright 2009, Victoria Bailey
My afternoons came and went by
Shivers and gloom make a long night
Gone are the dark days and sad times
You are still you and you are mine
You're like a golden ray of sun in my life, daylight
The leaves'll turn brown, they'll fall to the ground
Winter white comes
But you are the one, you're like the sun
You make the world light up for me
Whisper the sound, say it aloud
You make my eyes see, you're daylight
Patter the rooftop above me
Sprinkle or storm I know you love me
Even in winter you're a fire
Sunsetting glow in the summer
You're like a golden ray of sun in my life, daylight
The leaves'll turn brown, they'll fall to the ground
Winter white comes
But you are the one, you're like the sun
You make the world light up for me
Whisper the sound, say it aloud
You make my eyes see, you're daylight
You carry me on, awaken the dawn
Give me a trumpet, a cymbal or two
With all that I have my heart will be glad
And night will be shining like noon
You're like a golden ray of sun in my life, daylight
The leaves'll turn brown, they'll fall to the ground
Winter white comes
But you are the one, you're like the sun
You make the world light up for me
Whisper the sound, say it aloud
You make my eyes see, you're daylight
If We Don't Try
Copyright 2005, Victoria Bailey
Give me something new to write, not another fight
Perfectly alone for the drive, driving through the night
Love's whispering, 'the devil won't come too close'
I know the rain does fall on those
Most days we don't see eye to eye
We'll never make it if we don't try..
Busted out the door frame headed out so fast
Fluently breathing out a blazing witness
And you don't know what you're running from
It's hard today but you've got love
Most days we don't see eye to eye
We'll never make it if we don't try..
Hold me close, hold me close
I'll hold you close, I'll hold you close
And everything will be alright, alright
Look at me and smile your 'what did I do?' smile
Come a little closer, don't go another mile
'Cause you know what you mean to me
And I won't change what I believe
Redemption, Honey
Copyright 2010, Victoria Bailey
I've got a story that I can't even tell
I take a breath and wait for the saga to sell
But I know these seams are ripping apart
What it looks like here is the end of a heart
I need redemption, honey, for my soul
But I should mention that I don't wanna let go
We laugh, we fight, we say our prayers at night
But I know one thing's true- I need you
A foiled heart and still I hold onto you
A wretched beat of warring and seeing it through
For a one-time player you say it so well
Somehow I know it, baby, bright as a bell
I need redemption, honey, for my soul
But I should mention that I don't wanna let go
We laugh, we fight, we say our prayers at night,
But I know one thing's true- I need you
The words I say to you are words I can't undo...
I need redemption, honey, for my soul
But I should mention that I don't wanna let go
We laugh, we fight, we say our prayers at night,
But I know one thing's true- I need you
So Far Away
Copyright 2004, Victoria Bailey
Breathe in and let it out
Cry your eyes, make a sound
And I pray, have your way in me
But if it must, then let it be
Precious tear come to greet
Lift your hand, wipe your cheek
I have left, you have gone away
I know love and it aches
So far away
The gravel drive, the smiling eyes
Ooh, and you...
Faith remains, all is well
Can't explain, hard to tell
Wake me up, I might fall asleep
But if I dream, dream so sweet
