songs of when the stars went out
Lorem Ipsum (feat. Shane Hennessy)
​
Writers: Ashley Davis & Shane Hennessey
​
Verse 1
What are words when left inside a heart
I wrote to you, I always played my part
I go to bed each night and think
You'll be beside me in the morning light
But all that's left there is the spacing
For the words that maybe you would write
But after all....
​
Chorus
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet
When I left a place for you to tell me
Everything that's wrong inside your head
But dolorem ipsum is what you left instead
Now the pain itself fills in the blanks
And in the end there's nothing to to be said
​
Verse 2
You would like to be a hidden star
Covering exits all around your heart
The past is still your alibi
When you were saying love is just a lie
So take a drink, call out a tune
And know that you didn't even try
But after all....
​
Chorus
​
Bridge
But after all, after all you say now what have we got to lose?
Yeah after all, after all you say this life is what we choose
​
Chorus
​
Tag
Yeah the pain itself fills in the blanks
And in the end there's nothing to to be said
Quid novi
Quid novi
Quid novi

The Dry Cloud (How Will I Live Out My Days) feat. Tim O'Brien
Writers: Ashley Davis & Duncan Wickel
​
A shadow falls around and under
I saw a cloud, I heard no thunder
My head it hangs low as I wonder
Oh how will I live out my days
​
How can a cloud no water streaming
Like some lone voice that isn't speaking
A deathly cold heart still a beating
How will I live out my days
​
The only road I had to take it
Search to find a doorstep still vacant
A bit of news paper makes a blanket
Is this how I live out my days
Oh how will I live out my days
​
Stars are bright the moon is lonesome
As it falls into the open
Through the trees my heart is breaking
Oh how will I live out my days
​
You were gone in a moment
Like the dew in the morning
Will I find you out a walking
Oh how will I live out my days
​
Oh how will I live out my days
Oh how will I live out my days
Oh how will I live out my days
​

Here By My Side
Writers: Ashley Davis & John Doyle
​
Verse 1
Someone to love you it'll tear you to pieces
It'll break down your fences, your world falls apart
And the ships they come and go and not one holds you
But I know, that I see you at night
All my dreams are awake
And my asleep never stays
​
Chorus
Cause if I had you here by my side
I wouldn't waste any time
I'd hold you real close
I'd hold you forever
​
Verse 2
When I first saw you, I knew you were mine
Now I can't find you, you live in these lines
For the heart that you once knew now has gone away
Letting go to find a new way
Oh to hold you today
The words that remain
​
Chorus
​
Verse 3
I'm farther along now, than I ever was
Can you hear me calling?
To you now my love....
For the shifting of the sands now that scares you
Are the tides bringing you home
Oh know this today, my heart does remain
​
Chorus
Chorus 2
Cause if I had you here by my side
I wouldn't waste this time
I'd hold you real close
I'd hold you forever

Burning House (feat. Heidi Talbot)
Writer: Cam Ochs
​
Verse 1
I had a dream about a burning house
You were stuck inside I couldn’t get you out
I laid beside you and I held you close
And the two of us went up in smoke
Love isn’t all that it seems I did you wrong
I will stay here with you until this dream is gone
Chorus
I’ve been sleep walking
Been wandering all night
Trying to take what’s lost and broke
And make it right
I’ve been sleep walking too close to the fire
But it’s the only place that I can hold you tight
In this burning house
Verse 2
I see you at a party and you look the same
I could take you back but people don’t really change
I wish that we could go back in time
I’d be the one you thought you’d find
Love isn’t all that it seems I did you wrong
I’ll stay here with you until this dream is gone
Chorus
Bridge
Flames are getting bigger now
In this burning house
I can hold onto you somehow
In this burning house
Oh and I don’t wanna wake up
In this burning house
Chorus
How 'Bout You

Verse 1
On that night I saw you there
And the stars were everywhere
You came with me through the trees
We ran away from them

That’s the night that the moon was glowing
That’s the night that our hearts were showing through
Come along with me baby
Hold my hand and don’t say maybe it’s true
I knew right then well baby how bout you
Verse 2
On that night you were there
I kissed your lips without a care
You came with me through the trees
We ran away from them
Bridge
I close my eyes and I can see you there
Holding me now close to you
Hold out your heart and I will meet you there
To find a love now so true
Verse 3
On that night that’s now today
We will have to find our way
Let’s get back to the trees
Let’s run away again
Chorus

I, I wrote to you
To say, to say I love you
Those words they stayed
Right there, right around you
But I see you here tonight
In a scene on a screen

Not Today (feat. Mick McAuley)
Writers: Mick McAuley & Ashley Davis
​
So long since I’ve seen you baby
Friends they all tell me lately
Maybe it’s just best that way
They say you’re back from over seas
I hear you’ve been asking for me
Still I can’t even say your name
​
They tell me to let go of you
That you’re gonna break my heart in two
Shut down how I feel and walk away
But not today
No not today
Baby no, maybe never not today
​
Well it’s true that I’ve been thinking of you
Yeah I’ve been asking for you
Just so I can say your name
Been so long since I’ve seen ya baby
Friends they all tell me lately
Maybe it’s just best that way
They tell me to let go of you
That you’re gonna break my heart in two
Shut down how I feel and walk away
But not today
No not today
Baby no, maybe never not today
Foot down and walk the other way
Soon I will be moving on
Soon I"ll sing a different song
Soon I'm gonna be that strong
But not today
No not today
Baby no, maybe never not today
​
Cause I’ve been holding onto you
Cause that’s just what I wanna do
I lay with you tonight
And baby you felt so right
How can these two hearts be wrong
​
They tell me to let go of you
Already broke my heart in two
Can't shut down these feelings
I know I should walk away
​
But not today
Not not today
Baby no, not today
Someday I'll be moving on
Soon I"ll sing a different song
Soon I'm gonna be that strong
But not today

Davey Jones
Writers: Gordie Sampson & Michael Logen ​
Verse 1
I am a simple man
I learned to work with my hands
Out here on these waves
I guess I’ve always known
That I would die alone here
One cold November day
Verse 2
I heard that you did take
A brother in the morning
Another without warning
And who am I to think
That I’d be any different
As God is my witness
Chorus
I saw Davey Jones
Underneath the water
With a thousand of my fathers
Calling me home
I saw Davey Jones
Waving his black flag
Counting up his bones
Verse 3
They say when I was five
The day I cast my first line
I fell over the port side
As I was sinking down
I heard my mother singing
I heard the church bells ringing
And when they pulled me in
I felt him tugging my hand
Chorus
Verse 4
Now the waves have snapped the mast
I’m taking water so fast
I let go of the line
I can feel my father’s stare
From beyond the grave somewhere
I fail him one last time
​
Verse 5
Cause I would never be
The man he thought I should be
The lesser of his sons
So Jesus help me now
Help me to forgive him
Before the darkness floods
Chorus
Tag
Yeah I saw Davey Jones
Waving his black flag
Counting up his bones
When He Loved Her Too
Writers: Colin Farrell & Ashley Davis
​
Verse 1
She came upon the morning light
That he was walking through
Hearts so big, so strong, so bright
When he loved her too
Verse 2
He found her waiting in the stars
As he moved the fields that grew
Among the breaking waves afar
When he loved her too
Chorus 1
It’s beautiful she said
I read you in a book
You would come and by my side
You would always be forever free
Verse 3
The days moved on to years ago
As they moved through the blue
She knows his heart better than all
When he loved her too
Chorus 2
The trees were flowing by
The English countryside
You would come and by side
You would always be forever free
Verse 4
The moons now hang above their heads
It’s a song they’re moving though
And she wonders night from her bed
If he loved her too….
Chorus 3
Cause her mama said it all
He’ll leave you in the fall
The winds will blow
And then you’ll know
If he loved you too
If he loved you too
Annachie Gordon (feat. Shawn Colvin)
Traditional Scottish Ballad
Buchan is bonnie and there lives my love
My heart it lies on him, it will not remove
It will not remove for that all that I have done
Oh I never will forget my love Annachie
For Annachie Gordon he’s bonnie and he’s braw
He’d entice any woman that ever he saw
He’d entice any woman and so he’s done to me
Oh I never will forget my love Annachie
Well down came her father he’s standing at the door
Saying Jeannie you are trying the tricks of a whore
You care nothing for a man who cares so very much for you
You must marry Lord Saltan and leave Annachie
For Annachie Gordon he’s only but a man
Although he may be pretty where are all his lands
Cause Saltan’s lands are broad and his towers they stand high
You must marry Lord Saltan and forget Annachie
With Annachie Gordon I’d beg for my bread
Before I married Saltan with gold to my head
With gold to my head and gowns to my knee
Oh I’ll die if I don’t get my love Annachie
And you who are my parents to the church now bring me
But oh to Lord Saltan I’ll never bear a son
A son or a daughter I’ll never bend my knee
Oh I’ll die if I don’t get my love Annachie
Well Jeannie was married and from church was brought home
She and her maidens so merry should have been
When she and her maidens so merry should have been
She has gone now to her chamber and crying all alone
Come to bed my Jeannie my honey and my sweet
For to style you my mistress it would be oh so sweet
Well mistress or Jeannie it’s all the same to me
For it’s in your bed Lord Saltan I never shall be
And up and spoke her father he’s spoken with renown
All you her maidens come loosen off her gown
But she fell down to the floor down by their knees
Saying look now I’m dying for my love Annachie
The day that Jeannie married was the day that Jeannie died
That’s the day that Annachie came home on the tide
Down came her maidens all wringing of their hands
Saying woe to you oh Annachie for staying from the lands
So long from the sands and so long upon the flood
Oh they’ve married your Jeannie and now she is dead
All of you her maidens come take me by the hand
And lead me to the chamber where my love lies in
He’s kissed her cold lips until his heart it turned to stone
Now he’ died in the chamber where his true love lies still
