Sitting Here in Numbers

I’m sitting here in numbers as I watch at the sky
Birds go by— I’m
Sitting here in numbers on this lovely day
At home again I stay
First they said it’s only 14 days
Just 14 days to flatten the curve
Lalalala
Who could argue with just 14 days
5-4-3-2-1 There’s billionaires in space today and
Lalala Lalala
I’m sitting here as numbers flash across my screen
How obscene! We’ll all be
Sitting here in numbers till this thing runs dry
My oh my oh my
Lalalalalalala Lalalalala
First they said it’s only 14 days
Just 14 days to flatten the curve
La la la la la la la la
Then they said it’s only ten days
Well maybe five days (C’mon now!)
5-4-3-2-1 There’s billionaires in space today
lalalalalalalalala
What are we gonna do today
All my friends are locked away
They’re got us sitting in our living rooms
Staring at the floor
I’m not gonna stress this anymore
Lalalalalalala Lalalalala
I’m sitting here in numbers
On this lovely day
Hey hey hey look I’m
Painting by the numbers
Watching years go by
My oh my oh my
lalalalalalalala

Girl Behind the Trees

Did you kiss her like you kissed me
Do you look at her the way you looked at me
The way you looked at me
I wish you happiness
I hope that you get better
I’m so sorry for your disease
But if you don’t make it
Don’t know if I’ll come but
If I even come I’ll be
The Girl behind the trees
Pressed up against your refrigerator door
How you wanted me
We both wanted so much more
You looked me in the eyes and said
Your love for her was dead and now you’re
Calling her your life saver you’re
Calling her your life saver but
Your life’s not saved yet - and
I wish you happiness
I hope that you get better
I’m so sorry for your disease
But if you don’t make it
Don’t know if I’ll come but
If I even come I’ll be
The Girl behind the trees
I loved you in the most unhealthy way
I thought you felt it too but
You can never say it now no
You can never say it now no
You will never say
And I wish you happiness
I hope that you get better and
I’m so sorry
But if you don’t make it
Don’t know if I’ll come but
If I even come I’ll be
The girl behind the trees
The girls behind the trees
I’ll be standing in the shadows as I
watch the limousines go by and
Nobody will see me I will
Leave before they see me cry
Bye Bye now
Bye Bye my love
Good bye

Damaged Angel

Damaged angel
You’re my own private messenger
You give so much and you sting so hard
I did my best for you
I opened wide
But today I feel all closed up inside
You can shut me out if you want to
Do whatever you have to do
I will deal with my own feelings that have
Nothing to do with you
Damaged angel with your
Stark honesty
Made me think that I could reach on through and
pull you close
But some walls - they don’t crumble well
And some walls never do
But it’s still your love that
I’ll remember most
You can shut me out if you want to
Do whatever you have to do
I will deal with my own feelings that have
Nothing to do with you
And I can feel my heart again and
I can feel my shell and I can
Finally feel the dif’rence thanks to you
And the part of me behind those walls
I see it now - I see it all
And I thank you for the clarity
Is all
You can shut me out if you want to
Do whatever you have to do
I will deal with my own feelings
Till they have nothing to do with you
‘Cause they have nothing to do with you

Why Do I

No one
Tells a nightingale how to sing
No one
Tells an eagle how to fly
No one
Tells a river where to run
Why Do I
No one
Tells a flower when to bloom
No one
Has to tame the moon to light up the night sky
No one
Has to tell a mountain - just be a mountain
Why do I
Free will is a veil that runs in circles
It runs in circles and taunts me like a wayward muse
Free will is a veil that runs in circles
I see through your muse
No one ever told my summer dreams
That winter would find me here so frozen and unsatisfied
No one
has to tell the seasons when it’s time to change
Why do I
Why do I
No one has to tell the seasons
When it’s time to change
Why do I
Why do I
Why do I
Why do I

Middle Child

I’ve never been a leader
But I think that a leader would be
A very good thing to be
And I’ve never been I be a follower
Because how could I be a follower
What with all the things that I’ve been prone to see
Middle child
Always lookin’ ahead always lookin’ behind
Lookin’ for some kind of confirmation
Some outside explantation
Middle child middle child middle child
I see my little brother and I hear my big brother
always offerin’ advice
Yeah everybody’s talkin’ and I wanna believe
I wanna believe that somebody else has got it right
Middle child
Always lookin’ ahead always lookin’ behind
Lookin’ for some kind of confirmation
Some outside explantation
Middle child middle child middle child
Now I’m starin’ at the future as I’m
leanin’ in the past
Like some monkey in the middle
Tryin’ to make this party last
But when all I’ve been and all I know has
left this building long ago
Will I hang on to the same old song
Or find a way to move along
Middle child…..

Mommy mommy look at me
I’m up here on the high dive
I’ll bet you’ve never see a girl as brave and bold as I
I’m gonna make this jump for you
I’m gonna make it good for you
I’m gonna make you proud of me I promise
Teacher teacher thank you for that “A”
we both know I deserve
I bet you’ve never seen a girl as smart as I
I’m gonna do so good for you
I’m gonna make this jump for you
Your gonna be so proud of me I promise
The years go by and some things change and
some things never do
You’d think that I’d be over now how much I leaned to you
I promised you I’d be alright
I promised you that I’d be strong
I promised you I’d move along and I’ve moved along
I’ve moved along
But who will I be good for now
Who will I be good for now
Who will I be good for now
Now that you’re gone
Who will I be good for now
Who will I be good for now
Who will I be good for now
Now that you’re gone
Still a child inside
Who never has grown
The hardest part about bein’ alone is
Who will I be good for now
Now that you’re gone
I used to make you laugh
I used to make you smile

Happy birthday to my friend
What fate connects us here
Happy birthday to you in this
most important year
My birthday wish to you my friend
Is you will find your way again
The road goes on it never ends
And you will find your way again -You will find your way
The years have brought you twists and turns
As years are prone to do
And brought you to a dif’rent place than
you aspired to
But through it all you’ve kept your grace and
All of us can see
It’s time for you to come on out to
Who you’re meant to be
You’re a gypsy dancer
And you’re shining bright
You’re a gypsy dancer
Now you’re spinnin’ in the light
You’re a gypsy dancer
Come and take us away
Tonight
Oooh your soul is a gypsy soul
Not meant to linger here
Oooh your soul is a gypsy soul
And you will dance this year - I said
You’re gonna dance this year
‘Cause you’re a gypsy dancer
Out there shining bright
You’re a gypsy dancer
Out there spinnin’ in the light
You’re a gypsy dancer
Come and take us away
Tonight
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday
Happy birthday to you -Have a Happy Birthday

Open Dream

Woke up early morning with a song inside my head
Then I heard a voice inside me say
Hey! get up and write this down
I felt a little smile come on as I stumbled back to bed
Good morning I’ve got you now
I caught pieces of an open dream
Scattered remnants of a long ago forgotten memory
Left these pieces in an open dream
To shine my way back home
Everything’s so different now
The world has changed so fast
And lately I’ve been yearning for a time not that long ago
We’d just march into the future
From the shoulders of a past
That will never be again
But I caught pieces of an open dream
Scattered remnants of a long ago forgotten memory
Left these pieces in an open dream
To shine my way back home
I caught pieces of an open dream
Fragile treasures from a vast and loving place I once belonged
Left pieces in an open dream
To shine my way
I caught precious pieces of an open dream
To hold on tight before they slip back through the veil
I’m gonna ride these pieces of an open dream
And find my way back home

To See This With Me
03:05

I drove through the mountains beneath a big sky
full of thunder and lightning five thousand feet high
Then from out of the grey skies a rainbow broke free
I wish you were here to
See this with me
I rode through the forest and saw a young deer
It stumbled and cried till it’s mother appeared
Then it galloped away when it lost all it’s fear
I feel like that fawn
I wish you were here
I climbed a mountain and leaped through the sky
To move out on my own and to understand why
We had to break this embrace so our hearts could fly free
I still wish you were here to
See this with me
They say we get stronger the more we let go
They say that we’re stronger than we ever know
I wish you could be here and see what I see
I wish you were here to see this with me

The silver stars are shining my friend
Cast all your troubles out - the day is at an end
A lover's voice is calling you free
Whisper a melody and trip the moonlight fantasy with me
In the Land of Dreams
Everybody wears a smile
Nothing really bad is ever as it seems
Like a movie
In the Land of Dreams
Flying like a bird we travel
Through the netherworld of magic and moonbeams
A better day is dawning my friend
Sew up your broken heart and let the healing in
We’ll journey through the new world tonight
Open your eyes and see that promises of happiness can be
In the Land of Dreams
Everybody wears a smile
Nothing really bad is ever as it seems
Like a movie
In the Land of Dreams
Flying like a bird we travel
Through the netherworld of magic and moonbeams
I will meet you
In the Land of Dreams

Annie Moscow is woman who has clearly found her voice. Her upcoming album, “Land of Dreams” (February 2024), showcases this voice, strong and unique, both in sound and perspective. In her barest sound to date, Moscow strips her rich and diverse musical influences down to the essentials, exposing a perceived vulnerability mixed with hard-won wisdom gained through life experience. ... more
