I am a child of the road and the weary-eyed
Wanderers dreaming of love
All that I've had all my life are my name
And the light of the stars up above.
But now I have found that no wanderer's journey
Can ever go on without end,
A fire turns cold and a sweet song grows lonely
If never it's shared with a friend.
So laugh me and cry me and sing me to sleep
Tonight, when I need you most.
And I'll give you all that I find I can give
If I can be one of your own.
This was the place that I held in my hand
When I planned out my dreams long ago,
And you are the face that my words understand,
And the hold that will never let go.
Right here with you was the first time I knew
That I wish I could live forever.
So we'll laugh on and cry on and sing on together,
Tonight, when we need it most.
And I'll give you all that I find I can give,
For I love you as one of my own.
And this is the blessing that I'll give to you,
The best one that I know to give--
May you always remember this time as I do,
For as far and as long as you live.
Laugh me and cry me and sing me to sleep
Tonight, when I need you most.
And I'll give you all that I find I can give
If I can be one of your own.
Laugh me and cry me and sing me to sleep
Tonight, when I need you most.
And I'll give you all that I find I can give
If I can be one of your own
For I love you as one of my own.
I could listen to Lauren sing forever. Her writing is vivid and sensitive, sweetly and painfully human--never apologizing for sharp corners and rough edges. The beauty of her spirit shines through. Summer Russell

It's funny, I wouldn't say Cathy is a favorite artist, but I do have a lot of her stuff. Even though she sings about fantasy & esoteric things, I feel it. I think everyone can relate. TimTTT
