JUST AS IN SPRING
Guillermo Klein (“Ahi Viene El Tren”)
English lyric by: Rebecca Martin
Spanish lyric: Guillermo Klein

More than any other kind of love was he
There is only one they say
Guided by the mystery
Just as in Spring
There’ll always be
Just as in Spring.

Tomame las manos porque ya no son mias
Como van formando un espiral
Voy alucinandote, ahi viene el tren.

For you and me
There’ll always be
Just as in Spring
Someone might have held his hand
Someone might have seen the pale look in his eyes and cried.

There, before you go
Con las manos arriba
Into the unknown

Ilusiones perdidas
There, before you go.
Todo sobre la via

Someone might have held his hand
Someone might have seen the pale look in his eyes and cried.

Dale una razon
I knew that sooner or later
Pobre corazon
The line was drawn in the sand.
Para levantar
I knew that sooner or later

Into the unknown
Con las manos arriba
Cast into the sun
Ilusiones perdidas
Just before you go
Todo sobre la via

It was just like any other day
When hours hovered over heaven
Crowded in a box car
and brought to their knees.

TO MAKE THE MOST OF TODAY
Brad Mehldau (“Ode”)
Lyrics by: Rebecca Martin

On the way down
Like every day
Skipping along
Hand in hand we’d go
To make the most of today.

Outside the sun
She shines again
Held like a rose
Her red orange glow
To make the most of today.

In the mirror I see you smile
Old and familiar
A love that’s mine
I pray tomorrow
Another chance
Another go.

With you again
By my side
It took forever to find you
Or so it seems
Or so it seems.
I’ve found you now.

ON A SUNDAY MORNING
Rebecca Martin

What’s true for some
Just like a song
Could break your heart

When the sum is framed
To mislead them all
The fated cast.

With the chances slim to none
Whenever the moment comes
To it may they rise.

For the years were long
and the night time, too
On a Sunday morning
They’d had enough
and the world had too
On a Sunday morning.

Now the chances are slim to none
Whenever the moment comes
To it may you rise.

For the years were long
and the night time, too
On a Sunday morning
She’d had enough
and the world had, too
On a Sunday morning

THRONES AND BELIEVERS
Guillermo Klein  (“Hora Libre”)
English lyric by: Rebecca Martin
Spanish lyric by: Guillermo Klein

Let our thoughts be strong but open
Thoughts are everything
So be clear
Their naivete is all knowing
But how knowing are we?

Like some love affair
Caution is advised by tender hearts
In a constant song
and chorus that repeats forlorn.

Still a voice rings loud and deep
I hear everything so I think.
In a shared room
Words are flowing
But mean nothing to me
Take them back

Like some love affair
Caution is advised by tender hearts
In a constant song
and chorus that repeats forlorn
Searching for thrones and believers.

Y todavia nos reimos bien,
Como va,
Como influye todo tanto
No se cansen de venir
Ya no sufran mas, por salir
Los hermanos, que se entienden
Coronados van

Like some love affair (Por lo hondo)
Caution is advised by tender hearts (Sin rendirse)
In a constant song  (La corriente)
and chorus that repeats forlorn  (Las ganas de salir campeon)
Searching for thrones and believers  (En esta hora libre)

Later On They’ll Know
Rebecca Martin/Ron Sexsmith

A pale moon is rising
On the street below
Where dark eyes are pining
From inside their homes

Give us paper
To shed some light
Someone take their story down
So later on they’ll know

That the elders were turning
Inside their graves
From this hell we’re enduring
That is one in the same
Give us the courage
To make it right
Someone take their story down
So later on they’ll know.

WHEN THINGS LIKE THESE GO WRONG
Rebecca Martin / Jesse Harris / Frank Tedesso

In the light of a new day
When what might have been is in the stars
Love’s not what you’re craving
So I’m leaving here to find it.

So long comedian
Before I come undone
There’s goodness in the clearing
When things like these go wrong.

Where the days end and begin
and when the curtain calls
There’s goodness in the clearing
When things like these go wrong.

FREEDOM RUN
Kurt Rosenwinkel (“Cycle 5”)
Lyric by: Rebecca Martin

In the serious of midday
There’s an element of childplay.
Freedom, Run.

Niño, ves que te sentis mejor?
Comproba tu fuerza ya.
Corre fuerte, comproba tu fuerza ya.

Into the crowd we made our way down to the market
From the fields ripe and growing
With a sense of simple pleasures and wonder.
Day of our last and on our honor
Take the roof down.
Turn their screams into silence.
My love, my son.
Give me your hand, let’s go
Lets run.
Freedom run.

In the serious of midday
There’s an element of childplay.
Cuando la luz se presenta en la mañana

LIKE EVERY OTHER DAY
Guillermo Klein (“Llorando Fuerte”)
English Lyric by: Rebecca Martin
Spanish Lyric: Guillermo Klein

Calma mi dolor
Y ayudame a cerrar mis callos que me duelen
Tanto caminar
Que ya no se si soy yo el que no se mueve
Lugar, hogar, regar, llorando
Lugar, hogar, regar, llorando fuerte.

Like every other day
Before the morning sun had shown itself
She’d wake into
All she didn’t know
Before the mourning sun had shown itself
and knowing the world
Might not
May not
Embrace her.
May not embrace
May not
Might not embrace her
Just as glowing
Just as growing
Just as daunting

OUTSIDE IT RAINS FOR THEM
Guillermo Klein
Lyrics By Rebecca Martin

While all the men went trudging down to “The Rent’
Outside it rains for them
All alone the room is her womb
For all the girls who profit on what has been spent
Outside it rains for them

It would appear they were brought down so far
She’d see their face and size them up
A toast to her
and a drink for us all
“Bottoms up to love!”
While all the men went trudging down to “The Rent”
Outside it rains for them

Might the spring provide a helping hand.

IN THE NICK OF TIME
Larry Grenadier (“State of the Union”)
Lyrics by: Rebecca Martin

In the quiet afternoon
All alone in her room
All summer long she’d refrain
Nothing lost, nothing gained

There, tried and true
To a fault, much ado
It won’t be long
Until he comes
Being gone for a time
Being gone’s been sublime
They’ll see it through
For he is her muse
She is his, too
Just in the nick of time.

HOLD ON
Bill Frisell (“Throughout”)
Lyrics by Rebecca Martin

Out into what’s forgot
To have to not.
Hold on throughout the day.

For if we can sit
What’s sought will be told
Hold on throughout the day

We agree
What does it mean?
No need to explain
Hold on throughout the day.

Everything is a seed
That’s sown through song
Hold on throughout the day.

TO UP AND GO
Rebecca Martin

All the summer long there was a choice to make
A face amongst the crowd the sun was beating down.
You’ve come to far to up and go
Believe me when I tell you so

Just before the dawn there was a calling out
Everyone stood eyes and ears and gaping mouth.
You’ve come to far to up and go
Believe me when I tell you so
All the summer long.
