lyrics

Had a dream that I was young and dandelions weren’t weeds
And every ship I sent to sea always came back to me
Had a dream that I was young and words were just a maze
Plotted out in black and white across the pictures on the page

Charity’s been awful selfish lately
Joy is putting on a frown
Hope has cuts she will not answer for
Grace is slipping, tripping, over nothing at all

Had a dream that I was young and every game was fair
And every fit of laughter would do much better to breathe than air
Had a dream that I was young the birds could fly much higher
But I knew I could reach ‘em once I grew a little taller

Charity’s been awful selfish lately
Joy is putting on a frown
Hope has cuts she will not answer for
Grace is slipping, tripping, over nothing at all
​
But every day I wake up older
I’m no stronger for the change
And every day I wake up hoping
I’ve passed tomorrow
I’m heading on towards
Yesterday
​
Had a dream that I was young and monsters just had fangs
Didn’t hide their scales and hooks under dresses and bouquets
Had a dream that I was young the world stopped at my lawn
Life was just a page to be drawn on in every colour crayon

Keats Conlon Windsor, Ontario

An upcoming singer/songwriter who takes after her poet namesake, Keats Conlon paints pictures in thin air and spills her heart to any audience she encounters. Alternately sweet and devastating, Keats' songs constantly challenge your assumptions as to what a woman can do with just her voice and a guitar. Prepare for delicate, playful, and visceral songs that you won't want to end. ... more
