If You Run – Lyrics and Composition by Heather Inwood-Montrose (written May 2012) Verse 1 Take a stand if you must don’t stand too long though, once the world was flat Take a hand if you need don’t hold too tight no, we all need our hands CHORUS If you run from yourself you’ll find there’s, no where to hide, no where to turn When you run from yourself and find there’s no where to hide You will feel me, yeah you will feel me Verse 2 Searched for myself changed my clothes guess I felt cover defined a sense of self Moved around location, location, caught up with other restless souls Searched for myself cut my hair grow it out, hide away or stand out Assess, reassess what parts I can handle need to get it out think I’ll start a band oh CHORUS Verse 3 Oh, mirror mirror on the wall, I don’t care, I don’t care what I see I feel most like myself when I’m out where it’s green And I can breathe, I can breathe I can breathe CHORUS When I run from myself I find there’s no where to hide, no where to turn Yeah when I run from myself and find there’s no where to hide I will feel me, yeah I will feel me yeah I feel me… Oh yes

The Story Goes On Lyrics and Composition by Heather Inwood-Montrose 2008 The openings always the best, once upon a time and the rest Of that fairy tale we’re all hoping for But on the story goes, I write the parts and the prose Waiting for the act when the knight turns up at the door Things haven’t climaxed yet, though ups and downs I guess All manner of characters and a plot that unfolds There’ve been a number who’ve tried, to win my heart but I’m Patiently waiting for the one who makes me say I never thought of it that way And on the open road I find my soul you know Coastal views and the ocean waves speak to me Just like the perfect chords can strike you to your core Stop you in your tracks while you wait to hear the next note To see where the story goes So the openings always the best, just like a road trip with no rest What lies ahead is unknown but still several guarantees Not always joy and fun, but if you’re lucky enough to find one Who can read the map and drive and who’s interested, focused on the journey Well that would be enough for me

Be Light – written by Heather Inwood-Montrose Apr 2011 G, Em V1 - I don’t’ know when I was born a date I have but nothing more Soul it feels like infinite – like infinite Matter drawn to spirit form matters not what is the norm Let yourself get into it, get into it CHORUS Be light! Elemental might elemental might X 2 Be light be light soul knows what’s right be light be light and use your might Be light be light soul knows what’s right be light be light use third eyesight be light V2 - Season’s change reminding us everything must turn to dut Soul it feels like infinite – like infinite Water shifts from solid form, crystal vapor liquid flow Let yourself get into it, get into CHORUS Trees they bend, wind it blows and the water the water the water the water it flows Trees they bend fire it glows and the earth the earth the earth the earth it grows Trees they bend, wind it blows and the water the water the water the water it flows Trees they bend fire it glows and the earth the earth the earth the earth it grows Be light!

Song for Travellers Lyrics and Composition by Heather Inwood-Montrose January 2009 I’m on a journey, life flowing through me I’m gonna wander wherever the road goes No turning round now, blessing abound now Long lies the road leading back to my home Wonder of wonders, history lies under The very tracks on which my tired feet tread And I’m creating mine, in my own time Weight of the past like a worn cloak shed I think I’ll rest under this tree Cool soil, rustling leaves Sun on my face, wind at my back There’s nothing in this world I could possibly lack But you, by my side Thought you’re on my mind I’m on a journey, life flowing through me Soon I’ll return to the land of my home Blessings abound now, full circle round now All I have seen helps me value my own Wonder of wonders, heart beat like thunder As round my neck your sweet arms are thrown The joy of reunite! Souls take flight Wearies of travel to the breeze is blown Some let us rest, under our tree Cool soil, rustling leaves Sun on our face, wind at our backs There’s nothing in this world I could possibly lack With you by my side With you by me side I’m on a journey, life flowing through me I’m gonna wander, wherever the road goes

Miss You Lyrics and Composition by Heather Inwood-Montrose June 2008 Picking C, G, F Life these days goes by so fast and I’m Closing doors on all my past And the friends who once stood by me nowhere to be seen How we swore we’d never change The bonds that tied time couldn’t erase But they’ve slipped somehow, we’re gone now Sometimes I miss you Sometimes I miss you I used to think I could not go On without being in the know Or included in activities silly me What I have learned as I have lived Is you get back just what you give and I’ve given Oh how I’ve given But I’m getting by, I’m moving on Oh my old friend it’s been so long and I’m better off Yes I’m better off But sometimes I miss you Sometimes I miss you I can’t forget those who’ve shaped me Especially the ones whose impact has made me become more Than I was through those old doors But sometimes I miss you Sometimes I miss you

Moonglow – Lyrics and Composition by Heather Inwood-Montrose (written Jan 2012) Verse 1 Moonglow I know, it’s waiting for me Room low light show you waiting for me Open floor stepped up to you all else in shadow but for you, you glow for me Room fade, light play, have you more for me? Verse 2 Sun glow I know, you’re aching for me Lay low, dare show your feelings for me Open door step out and through, I cast a shadow onto you, watching me Eyes show old soul, waking for me Bridge Let us be, Let us be… Verse 3 Gentle, mindful, walk lovingly We’ll take things slow, tread patiently Open wide step out and through there will balance this is true, measure me Time shows some souls, harmony Bridge Let us be, let us be, let us be….

Snowflakes – written, arranged & composed by Heather Inwood-Montrose Apr 2007 Picking in D, then E, A Snow is drifting down, ice crystals desperate to reach the ground before spring I am drifting round, the memories of people whose voices still sing to me So many who have touched my life like snowflakes each unique in their own right Melt into me, I am the ground; my depths are safe and cool for hanging around But it’s fair trade you see, for you are also feeding me That’s the beauty, of humans living cohesively So like snowflakes we’re all drifting around, life cycles helping feed our grounds for spring Then miraculously as our lives take root – co-mingled we morph into something grand and new Community is what it’s called – together we stand and divided well surely we’ll fall fall fall I’m thankful for all who’ve been my ground, whose depths were safe and cool for hanging around It was fair trade you know, the give and take is how we grow That’s the beauty, of humans living cohesively So unique snowflake when you’re drifting around, sometimes it’s ok to hit the ground falling Your community’s what you make of it Each life cycle takes and it gives, we take and give If you haven’t seemed to find one yet – plant your roots where you’ve fallen friend and stay for a bit We’re more than willing to share this ground If it feels like home well consider sticking around I’m sticking around And I’m sticking it out

The Dryer Song – Written & Composed by Heather Inwood – Montrose May 2005 Standard tuning Picking A/G The humming tumbling drier numbs me Dulls my weary brain And the softly falling night shroud calms me As does the sprinkling rain And combined my senses all rejoice To find myself again Who’dve thought the tumbling humbling drier Could make me feel ashamed It’s time to simplify Yeah simplify It’s time to simplify Just tumble dry The hours and hours and hours slip by And swiftly turn to days Caught in the web their passing weaves I’m always left amazed And I fear the years and years will pass And only be a haze So help me tumbling, humbling drier Help me find the ways It’s time to simplify Yeah simplify It’s time to simplify Just tumble dry

In My Garden – Lyrics and Composition by Heather Inwood-Montrose (written May31/June1 2013) Verse 1 In my garden, I think of you; oceans between us, not much to do So I plant seeds, and watch them, grow (OM); tiny garden, secrets you hold Time goes by, connecting fine; you’re on my mind, am I on your line Open heart and, nothing but time; land lies solid, but the layers the layers hold truth BRIDGE Lights in the dark, head pressed to mine, holding us close this time Verse 2 Don’t get me wrong, I’m steady we’re cool; I’d still feel blessed, with or without you Though it would be a shame, not to try you on (OM); do you think we could be more than a song? BRIDGE Lights in the dark, head pressed to mine, holding us close, outside of time Feels so real, not a figment of mind, hoping for peace this time Verse 3 In my garden, I think of you, planting intentions, peace hope and truth Holding space to, see what they will do (OM); growing the story of me and you BRIDGE Lights in the dark, head pressed to mine, holding us close, outside of time Feels so real, not a figment of mind, hoping for peace this time.

Though I’m not talking size Count on one hand, troubles on my mind Edges of the edges of the edges of the edges I’m blending in… Bridge Fragile Fracture, Fragments Fractal Pristine Prisms, Promise Primal Back in my shell, to my surprise I find I don’t want in, that’s my altered mind Edges of the edges used to edges of the edges I don’t fit in I feel grand! Of the galactic kind Breathe and expand, into the universal mind Edges losing edges of the edges losing edges Lit from within… Bridge Fragile Fracture, Fragments Fractal Pristine Prisms, Promise Primal Pristine Prisms….
