Waterloo music & lyrics by Auset ©2005
On the edge of morning when the haze had faded
Couldn’t keep from feeling that her body was through
Spent the night all alone trying to piece it together
It was so familiar but still unsure
In the light of the moon, it was all around her
A little pocket of heaven in a faraway place
Then she suddenly woke from the voice of a stranger
Seemed to last forever when she walked through—in Waterloo
When she noticed the clock it was almost eleven
Asleep in the stillness of waking dream
Caught herself by surprise when she looked in the mirror
She knew that she’d never be the same again
In the light of the moon, it was all around her
A little pocket of heaven in a faraway place
Then she suddenly woke from the voice of a stranger
Seemed to last forever when she walked through—in Waterloo
Will you have this dance with me?
Will you lift the weight with me?
Will you take a chance with me?
Will you have this dance with me?
Will you lift the weight with me?
Will you take a chance with me?
Will you share the world with me?
Will you have this dance with me?
Will you lift the weight with me?
Will you take a chance with me?

In the Middle of the End - music & lyrics by Auset ©2002
Busted flat on an open road
Where there aint no life except the stories of old
I think I’m in for one of those days
It’s been twelve hours of emptiness
And the clouds get together – it’s overcast
Sunny minutes ago, but now I think its gonna rain
Here I am once again, in the middle of the end
Trying to find direction in my day
Another song is the place where I belong
Not spending my time thinking about you
Well I got a dollar, maybe two
Stuck in the bottom of my left shoe
Seems like things are looking pretty slim
Got a headache I just can’t kill
I got no more water and I don’t take pills
Close my eyes and think of places I’ve been
Here I am once again, in the middle of the end
Trying to find direction in my day
Another song is the place where I belong
Not spending my time thinking about you
As I walk the line, feel my breath one more time
as I carry the weight of my life
Seasons they pass, time will heal this loneliness
as I carry the weight of my life
Well the wind picks up and its blowing strong
If the storm continues than the pain’s prolonged
Still I think things are gonna turn around
I got enough to get on a bus
And my head feels clear from the rainwater rush
Dancing my way through another day
Here I am once again, in the middle of the end
Trying to find direction in my day
Another song is the place where I belong
Not spending my time thinking about you

When Will We Love True - music & lyrics by Auset ©2002
Who will be with you when you look within,
to where you begin to see
Who will show you to the looking glass,
where your future becomes your past
Who will love you the way you understand
When will we love true… again
Who will inspire,
when you desire to do your very best
Who will help to see you,
and let you be you, who you really are
Who will love you the way you understand
When will we love true… again
Who will come and hold you,
not try to mold you into what they say
Who will be the lover,
your soul discovers in each new day
Who will love you the way you understand
When will we love true… again

With You - music & lyrics by Auset ©2005
You appeared from out of nowhere
Arrived in my last breath
No idea that you were out here
No promises were made
It was all I could do to be with you today
And it’s all that I need to be me with you
I remember the first moment
I looked into your eyes
And your smile still surprises me
Each day as I arise
It was all I could do to be with you today
And it’s all that I need to be me with you
I am feeling
I am lifted to sky
Gently holding on
I am given back my life
And there’s no miscalculating why were together here tonight
It’s beyond imagination
The time, the place, the path
And our endless conversation
I finally make sense
It was all I could do to be with you today
And it’s all that I need to be me with you
It was all I could do to be here with you today
And it’s all that I need to be me with you

Running In Circles - music & lyrics by Auset ©2005
Don’t feel so good
Got your head up in a spin again
So misunderstood
Wonder if its ever gonna end
Got you surfing through the noise
Turning channels of your memories
And it’s always your choice
If you want to live in all this mess
Running in circles
On a path that leads to nowhere
Like an old working horse
Saddled by the burden of your fear
Making history
Even if its all in your own mind
A famous mystery
Got you wasting life with precious time
What a story
So many words when you don’t know what to say
And in the morning
It’s reality that blinds you every day
Running in circles
On a path that leads to nowhere
And it's always your choice
If you want to live in all this mess
Who of us can stop the fall
To hear the ring but miss the call
Unable to release it, History repeats it
See the writing on the walls
There is a warning, there’s no escape
With time to breakthrough
I see you BREAK
Countless minutes
Missed the turn when you looked the other way
In the distance
How it seems so close yet it slowly slips away
What a story
So many words when you don’t know what to say
And in the morning
It’s reality that blinds you every day
Running in circles
On a path that leads to nowhere
And it's always your choice
If you want to live in all this mess

The Mystic - music & lyrics by Auset ©2004
It’s new, suddenly slipping in water – blue
Above your head drifting, the afternoon
Watching the day pass you by
When all is said, words become playful and dance in your head
Simply requesting that silence be met
at the place where you hear a true reply
When all has been spoken, words lose their meaning
Truth becomes silent where hope never ends
All is not broken, this is where freedom
Brings us together where we make a stand
Lets pretend when all of the music is played once again,
we circle the path one more time from the end
We ascend in the world we create
The love in our hands is honestly present
To understand remains to be seen what we shift from within
To define what the heart wants to say
Helplessly watching isn’t the answer
Playing the fool on hill one more day
Suddenly open, decidedly chosen
Holding the key and not turning away
Its here, consciously holding your inner sphere
Finally listening, it’s perfectly clear
As you watch the day pass you by
