Eurydice Goodnight Sweet Eurydice Goodnight your open sky your morning light how do I let go of your hand a woman in a desert land I will sing of summers on the lawn the cherries bloom and then they’re gone all I love leaving soon the other side, the other room let go we hold so tight Eurydice goodnight Are you ready now, I will turn my head be alive and let the dead by dead if I am to sing a living sound then one of us must turn around what do I do about you Eurydice? What do I do with all of this memory a woman in a desert land how do I let go of your hand? the open sky the morning light Eurydice goodnight let go we hold so tight Eurydice goodnight © lyrics by Cosy Sheridan, music by Cosy Sheridan and Charlie Koch Cosyng Music, BMI 2015

I am your landlord I thought I’d drop by to see what you’d done to the house you know the coffeemaker goes on the other side of the sink next to the toaster what do you mean you don’t have a toaster? what’s wrong with you? I am your landlord I have firm ideas about what is clean and how it’s next to godliness and this house isn’t going to heaven with that bathroom let’s just close the door I thought there were just the two of you I didn’t know about your 15 friends who would come by to do their laundry every weekend I am your landlord tension with the tenants I’m your landlord pay the rent with some repentance I’m your landlord confrontation over the occupation of the house I am your landlord I think some things are right and some are wrong I don’t think the kitchen is where the guest bed belongs what’s in the guest bedroom? should we open that door? I know the you said that your sister she is living out on the land I think and her dog are living in the driveway in that white camper van I am your landlord tension with the tenants I’m your landlord pay the rent with some repentance I’m your landlord confrontation over the occupation of the house i’m your landlord do you ever draw your blinds? I’m your landlord Just one more time I’m your landlord confrontation over the occupation of the house © Cosy Sheridan, Cosyng Music BMI 2015

Long long ago we sang Somewhere Over The Rainbow when they asked the three of us to sing we were young and we were strong now your voice is gone Long ago we sang Somewhere Over the Rainbow with you Susie she would start You came in next with the lower part Your voices were the engine in the plane I would come in high and we would fly Long ago we sang Somewhere Over the Rainbow Late at night you’d sing The Grey Funnel Line with Jay at The Press Room at closing time when he was in his cups - your voice could hold anyone up but we all fall down Now things have come undone you’re as brave as they come and you talk with your hands and your eyes with time all things will fail you were such a nightingale Long ago we sang Somewhere Over the Rainbow Maybe farther along we’ll understand why the song has voices come in and then go maybe we’ll know all about it when we are over the rainbow © Cosy Sheridan, Cosyng Music BMI 2015

I will sing of an early French export Napoleon and his empire - both were short before the Louvre or Catherine Deneuve there was the man (a) he said “I will take Vienna” Ch
We sing Waterloo, the Guillotine The empress Josephine the little man has a dream goes and gets a big machine then Wellington comes on the scene has a better sailing team sends our little fiend off to Elba He took Italy, Spain and Prussia which is Germany and Poland now but it sounds like Russia you won’t find Russia on a map of Europe anymore it was an empire that failed what should we learn about that for? He knew how to set a goal and say I think I can which doesn’t sound French, but he was Corsican so when you lose the game don’t sit on the bench Napoleon ruled France, and he wasn’t even French In his coffin, inside his French cut suit his body they say is missing the manly root it was embalmed, we could stick it back on but who could tell by now the rest of him is missing as well. © Cosy Sheridan, Cosyng Music, BMI 2015

Sometimes I feel too much and then I can’t feel anything at all too many phones ring in my head I don’t answer any call I close my door, sit in my room wait for my heart to come round sometimes I feel too much and the machine shuts down I offer my regrets that only part of me is here a moment of adversity and my heart disappeared it just seems to happen It not something I try to do it’s like I’ve got a boat and the boat has a hole and my heart falls through. But you know and you see My heart has disappeared can you find it for me The muscle that knows how to just carry on attaches in the back it acts as a sort of shield for the heart protecting it from attack it engages in emergencies take one more step - now try cause it will not help to sit down on the sidewalk and cry Please may I come home now?
I cannot find my heart they are shouting they are shouting shooting rockets in the park © Cosy Sheridan, Cosyng Music BMI 2015

I’m afraid the song is broken it cannot be repaired it used to be there was a sort of magic there it moved like a body not like a machine I’m afraid I have broken a dream This is not the first time all the light has fallen out the red pen, the eraser, the scissors, the doubt chiseling away at a living sound and now my song is lying on the ground I tried so hard and so long I asked too much from one song but when the light falls out, the magic does too trying’s the one thing I know how to do like you and like me a song can get tired there’s a downside to being a really good tryer you wear out you loved ones, you wear out your friends this time let’s try not trying again In Florence there’s a statue that Michelangelo tossed out into his yard he broke it apart and threw it away a frustrated day so hard so long broken statues, broken songs when the light falls out, the magic does too trying’s the one thing I know how to do trying is what I know how to do. © lyrics by Cosy Sheridan, music by Cosy Sheridan and Charlie Koch 2015 Cosyns Music, BMI

Your Old Age 03:10
I am the bearer of the very bad news one more part of the world that you have to lose it’s not something that either of us would choose for your old age You stand by the door as mad as you are you hold in your hand the keys to your car you say I don’t drive fast and I don’t drive far in your old age I am honestly glad you are fighting and trying not giving in and waiting for dying so here I am driving home crying from your old age Pieces of now and pieces of then pieces of trouble we can never mend next week I will come see you again in your old age we gather together and try to find a way we are not felled from behind by what this is doing to your heart and mine your old age © Cosy Sheridan, Cosyng Music BMI 2015

The tree by the courthouse is lit up bright we’ll drive around town and look at all the lights something about this all feels right on the night the reindeer fly maybe a wreath on the door maybe the relatives won’t keep score maybe I won’t worry what it’s all for on the night the reindeer fly Do you remember when you searched the sky what did you look for way up high can you believe the night the reindeer fly The ship of memory it’s a big boat to steer the ghosts on the deck hovering near can you remember and still be here Bring in the forest, string it in lights let the gift you open be your heart that night © lyrics by Cosy Sheridan, music by Cosy Sheridan and Charlie Koch Cosyng Music 2014

If I were a bird And  I could fly through time I would not leave behind this sorrow ‘cause I would lose the sweet things and no matter what the day brings I would not trade it in for tomorrow If there was a way to make it all right now I would not leave behind this sorrow The gold and the grey, the colors of the day I would not trade it in for tomorrow The motherless child the wandering stranger  ride round the corner and right into danger all the ways that today might fall thru But I would not fly away from one moment with you   Here in the station where we meet and we part happiness rolls in and carries off my heart the best we can do is try to choose the right track some trains roll in and they don’t come back © lyrics by Cosy Sheridan, music by Charlie Koch Cosyng Music BMI

November is falling 
I am driving through the dark I know every night you cannot feel strong I am on my way to the next church basement I’ve got coffee, a map and a song As I ramble around the highways Woody Guthrie watch over me All I know is how to go from town to town and watch the peaches fall down from the tree Woody watch over me I have a few songs and miles of memory of how most lives are not beyond repair there are ways the world is broken but I can say for certain most people are good most everywhere I am on my way to the next part of nowhere I am looking for the center and the light my father hoped I’d be someone of renown I am driving to a new town tonight. © lyrics by Cosy Sheridan, music by Cosy Sheridan and Charlie Koch 2014 Cosyng Music, BMI
