Judy Lea
Judy Lea, Judy Lea
Are you out there, are you out there
Won’t you call me, won’t you call me
Judy Lea, Judy Lea
Judy Lea, Judy Lea,
Oh I miss you, Oh I miss you
Won’t you come when I call you
Won’t you come, Judy Lea
I’ve been writing you songs, love songs
The pain of separation and the life lived long
You’ve been doin’ time
towin’ the family line
Judy Lea, Judy Lea,
Are you out there, are you out there
Won’t you call me, if you do care
Won’t you call me, Judy Lea
Solo
Last seen leaving town bordering a train at Terminal and Main
She was carrying her backpack, her guitar case, she was wearing blue jeans
He never loved her anyway, and the children are all grown
She’s runnin’ away, she’s takin’ a chance, she’s gonna make it on her own
Judy Lea, Judy Lea,
Are you out there, are you out there
Won’t you call me, if you do care
Won’t you call me, Judy Lea

What If

What if?
What if it was up you,
to make all of my dreams come true?
And what if it was up to me
to find out what’s your destiny?
Now that doesn’t seem so likely
That it could be so easy
Babe
And I’m running to find you
And I’m hiding right in front of you
Running to see you
I’m calling
And I’m running to find you
And I’m hiding right in front of you
Babe
Is this the way it’s going to be?

Bohemian Man
The last time
I let you into my life
Was the last time
I felt like such a fool
That’s all I was
The last time
The last time
I forgave you
From boom to bust
You portrayed true
It was nothing but lust
How could you
Is that all it was
The last time
The last time
Bohemian Man
Make a little money when you can
Steal from your lovers
To pay off abandoned mothers
Bohemian Man
Make a little money when you can
Do you still steal from your lovers?
What about your daughter?
In time it’s supposed to fade
But this time
I’m still afraid
To love again
To be again
To sing again
The last time we held hands
The last time we sang in the band
The last time we cried in the bath
The last time
The last time
Bohemian Man
Make a little money when you can
Steal from your lovers
To pay off abandoned mothers
Bohemian Man
Make a little money when you can
Do you still steal from your lovers?
What about your daughter?
The last time
I let you into my life
Was the last time
I felt like such a fool
That’s all I was
The last time
The last time
The last time we held hands
The last time we sang in the band
The last time we cried in the bath
The last time
The last time

My Eyes © Monica Lee 2006
My eyes are so tired
When will I go to sleep?
Lying here next to you
Cheek to cheek
When my dear
Will I just listen?
To my own wisdom
Never I fear
I cry in your arms
So wide and so strong
So why should I be quite or calm
No I don’t want your reasons or water or song
I just want you to love me forever and on
Love like the stars
Turns nightly and free
But the shapes that we find
Don’t escape memory
When my dear
Will I just listen?
To my own wisdom
Never I fear
Oh darlin’ don’t leave me
‘Cuz I can’t stand the change
I just want you beside me
With me again
Oh darlin’ don’t leave me
‘Cuz I can’t stand the change
I just want you beside me
With me again

Black Diamond
Cigarettes Chocolate
California and Gasoline
Under Water is the best yet
Black Diamond Whiskey Jack
You shine like your mothers eyes
You glow like you just had to know
About the diamonds about the gold
You’re much older than you’ve been told
Candy Wrappers
Hyda beds
T. dot to T.Bay
That’s what her ticket read
But we got no Cigarettes
No California
Just some old soul singer
And there ain’t nothin’ left
You shine like your mothers eyes
You glow like you just had to know
About the diamonds about the gold
You’re much older than you’ve been told
Cigarettes Chocolate
California and Gasoline
Under Water is the best yet
Black Diamond Whiskey Jack

Dark Angel ©Monica Lee 2003
Heart broken and taken down
What you lookin’ at is my sad frown
The windy weather it suits my mood
I might just stay right here at home
Sit around and brood
Oh Dark Angel, what can I do
(got my mind stuck on you)
Oh Dark Angel, its all I can do
Just tryin’ to get over you
The papers cry freedom
But he message is blurred
Black and White letters
Now shades of grey and unheard
She was my friend I trusted her
We shared smiles and eyes
I felt a sister to her
Oh Dark Angel, what can I do,
(got my mind stuck on you)
Oh Dark Angel, its all I can do
Just tryin’ to get over you
Must have been a blessing
The way she took me out
All hell broke loose and we all began to shout
Her words were arrows and my heart was stuck
Now I’m just lyin’ around singin’ songs about back luck
Oh Dark Angel, what can I do
(got my mind stuck on you)
Oh Dark Angel, its all I can do
Just tryin’ to get over you

One More Day © Monica Lee 2006
One more day, without your kiss
One more day, I’m not sure I’m cut out for this
Kind of work, has always got me gone
Here a moment, then I run away
One more hour, ‘till I see your shinning face
One more hour, I look and feel like such a disgrace
This kind of work, has always got me tired
No time for passion, let alone desire
So tell me what’s right
Tell me what to do
How can this woman
Make sweet love to you
Tell me what’s wrong
And I’ll find some way too
Be your woman (woman, woman, woman)
Babe you know I want to.
One more night, ‘till I lie in your arms
One more night, to be wakened by alarms
This kind of work, has got me missing you
I catch you by the tail then I let go of you
(Cuz you’re)
Happy you’re Sad
Grumpy you’re mad
Happy as a fish
Licking some sauce off some dish
You know what I wish
I want you…..I want you….I want you ….(scat) repeat
