“Little Lady”
Written by MEDA (Tasha Abbott)
Verse 1:
Oh, Father,
There’s a story of a girl.
Her name was after letters
And the past once held.
Her heart turned it’s own,
Singing it’s last time.
Refrain 1:
Hey little lady,
Love, you’re worth a rose and a smile.
Be kind.
Verse 2:
And the story so unfolds,
Little girl ‘comes old.
Within every cracked corner
Every man she’d hold.
Refrain 2:
Hey little lady,
Love you’re worth a rose and a smile.
Dream wild.
Chorus
(oooh’s)
Verse 3:
So you listen to her last will
When you saw her eyes sink cold.
Couldn’t recognize the little one
With her frozen so torn.
And her heart turned it’s own
Singing its last time.
Refrain 3:
Hey little lady,
Love you’re worth a rose and a smile.
Be kind (be kind).
Chorus
(oooh’s).

“Baby”
Written by MEDA (Tasha Abbott)
VERSE 1
Baby holds her hands together.
Baby laughs when storms around.
Baby plays with leaves and leathers.
Baby please let’s play with sound.
Sing oh, oh, oh, oh..
VERSE 2
Baby leave the feet to wander.
Baby if your frown they’ll see.
Baby it’s no shame to ponder.
Baby you’ll see when you leave.
Sing oh, oh, oh, oh…
VERSE 3
Baby holds so you can’t wonder.
Baby let’s your deeds fall through.
Baby leave me, leave me to gather.
Baby left me so soon.
VERSE 4
Baby lives like oceans gather.
Baby let’s live like those kings.
Baby please don’t leave in worry.
Baby don’t you, don’t you leave.
Sing oh, oh, oh, oh…

“A Man”
Written by MEDA (Tasha Abbott)
Verse 1:
A man, a figure
A moment in space, in time.
A figure of beauty
Shadowing all of you but your grace
Chorus 1:
A feeling, a passion
A lucid dream in shape, in form.
A proper hand to hold
Holding all but shame from your colds.
Verse 2:
A little less than admiration
Would not put this frame in place.
But more than words could only, only gather
The truest notion of your place, in my soul.
(Chorus)

“Stark”
Written by MEDA (Tasha Abbott)
VERSE 1
I laughed until I
Cried and spilt a
Gentle wave of rum
The hissing clock left
Trails of thoughts, a
Windy rush and such a
CHORUS
Love.
Love.
VERSE 2
It came to three, there
Was an ease, a
Swollen sea emerged.
And soon I’d know my
Heart’s been folded
Simply sewed and spent of
CHORUS
Love.
Love.
BRIDGE
Oh, my ma said
Don’t’ be blinded.
Oh. my pa he
Left me stark and
Now I can’t believe my eyes.
No now I can’t believe these eyes, oh
CHORUS
Love.
Oh my
Love.
Oh my
Love.
