FINSBURY PARK (Christina Martin) Sleeping with a stranger Just a few doors down The grind that brought us closer Ended up changing my mind One month of carrying on like that After banjo lessons we’d hook up Before our first date In Finsbury Park Those kinds of feelings don’t come easy I dreamed of going steady baby Our First date In Finsbury Park Sweet tooth and blue-eyed prince Beautiful Boy Something of convenience Turned to birds in Spain Any time you wanted me You would just say my name Spring turned to summer Lust turned to love I turned to you Then came first date In Finsbury Park I started missing you in daydreams I wanted you to be my baby Our First date In Finsbury Park Sweet tooth and blue-eyed prince Beautiful boy I’d meet you at the Tesco Express In the beginning it was lust over love By the summertime you had to tell him So we could go out On our first date In Finsbury Park I didn’t want to hide this new love We started going steady after Our First date In Finsbury Park Sweet tooth and blue-eyed prince Beautiful boy Our first date Finsbury Park

The Last Time I Saw You (Christina Martin) The last time I saw you I was stolen from my home I was loaded up and taken To the worst place in the world Stepped on that steam engine Platform in the rain No waving, no tears, only shock and overwhelming fear (The Last time I saw you, The Last time I Saw You) The last time I saw you I took the deepest breath of you I photographed in my mind What you looked like on a clear sunny day (The Last time I saw you, The Last time I Saw You) The last time I saw you Your hands were tied behind your back Watched them slip on through your cracks You couldn’t do a God dammed thing Green eyes against blue skies Pretty steeples holding up the night As I rode your country side I counted trees in line (The Last time I saw you, The Last time I Saw You) The last time I saw you I took the deepest breath of you I photographed in my mind What you looked like on a clear sunny day (The Last time I saw you, The Last time I Saw You) The last time I saw you I was stolen from my home I was loaded up and taken To the worst place in the world Stepped on that steam engine Platform in the rain No waving, no tears, only shock and overwhelming fear (The Last time I saw you, The Last time I Saw You) The last time I saw you I took the deepest breath of you I photographed in my mind What you looked like on a clear sunny day

IT’LL BE ALRIGHT (Christina Martin) I don’t even smoke, but I smoke with you I don’t even drink, when we drink it feels good Everything was done by the book for love Throw it all away in a floating moment Oh this hold you've got on me I have let myself recede I'm no longer here in charge You convinced me it’ll be alright I don’t even lie but I lied for you Tried to close my eyes and just ride this through Everything was done by the book for love Cast my life away for your thrilling touch Oh this hold you've got on me I have let myself recede I'm no longer here in charge You convinced me it’ll be alright Don't turn me down tonight We don't have many other nights Would love to walk fall asleep and ignore I think you know I'll be back for more Don't turn me down tonight We don't have many other nights Would love to walk fall asleep and ignore I think you know I'll be back for more I think you know I think you know I think you know I think you know Oh this hold you've got on me I have let myself recede I'm no longer here in charge You convinced me It’ll be alright Oh this hold you've got on me I have let myself recede I'm no longer here in charge You convinced me It’ll be alright

Where The Dark Meets The Light - Acoustic 04:11

WHERE THE DARK MEETS THE LIGHT (Christina Martin & Matt Epp) When you’re scared of the darkness Let it hold you Wrap it’s arms around Show you the light Take a walk in a cold dark field Bring your sword and shield Make a fire in the darkest part Let it burn CHORUS Tonight, where the dark meets the light Tonight, where we walk, lightning strikes Tonight, there’s a full moon throwing light On our lives, make love we can end this war Tonight, where the dark meets the light As we roll through this strange strange world Feeling like lost boys and girls Runaways, howling at the night Taking Turns CHORUS When you can’t see the night for the darkness And you are standing, still as time Turn towards the light in the distance and ride CHORUS x 2
