That’s Enough For Me (3:42) Sometimes it’s hard to be a friend in a world that’s ever changing People come and people go when life starts rearranging. You have done a lot for me in ways only you can And that is why there’s something I’d like you to understand. If all you’ve ever done for me is be there in my misery, If all you’ve ever done for me is come when I call. If all you do is take the time To put your feelings on the line Not knowing what I’ll say, not knowing what I’ll do. If that is all that you will ever do. I’ll always call you my friend. I have done the giving and I have done the taking. I have had the broken heart and I have done the breaking. I have done a lot for friends and some have done for me. And I believe that friendship is a great responsibility. When the days are bright and clear, and the nights are cool and fine. If you’re not standing by my side darlin’ I won’t mind Cause If all you’ve ever done for me is be there in my misery . . . [tacet]If that is all you’ll ever do for me. If that is all you will ever do , Then that’s enough for me. Yes, that’s enough for me.

Daddy Was A Cowboy (3:20) On the outskirts of town in a single wide, Just mama and me And not much pride. Whenever we’d go into town No one said “hey”- They just looked down. But daddy was cowboy, my daddy was a cowboy they say. I found the picture I was lookin’ for Buried in the bottom of her underwear drawer. Long and lean in a pickup truck Cigarette in his mouth And his sleeves rolled up. Daddy was a cowboy. My daddy was a cowboy they say. No one told me how he died It must’ve been somethin’ big. Maybe he died savin’ some young girl From a wild horse stampede. Or maybe the levee overflowed And threatened to bury the town Daddy lit the fuse and saved them all Just before he drowned. I guess it might’ve been that way Cause Daddy was a cowboy. My Daddy was a cowboy they say. In and outta trouble since I been 10. Didn’t like school- didn’t fit in. Mama she went out late each night didn’t come back ‘til morning light. Never knew where she’d been away. But daddy was a cowboy, My daddy was a cowboy they say. I left home at just sixteen Lookin’ for adventure - Chasin’ a dream. ‘long came a man in a pickup truck cigarette in his mouth and his sleeves rolled up. I hopped in and we pulled away. Daddy was cowboy My daddy was cowboy they say. Daddy was a cowboy, they say.

One More Last Time (3:25) I was young, just sixteen Wet behind the ears, kinda green How was I to know He said he loved me so? Woke up one morning and he was gone, Left me all alone in the cold, cruel, dawn. I made up my mind. Won’t happen one more time. Made me a vow on a Gideon Bible This girl here, she’s not liable To do it again. I was through with men. It’s the last time, I’ll ever fall in love. Years went by and I grew older, The world it turned a little bit colder. Lost all my pretences, Down went my defenses. Found that I could not ignore a curly haired fella in a plaid fedora. He was sweet. Knocked me off my feet. woke up one morning and he was gone, Left me all alone in the cold, cruel, dawn. That is when I knew I was finally through Made me a vow on a Gideon Bible This girl here, she’s not liable To do it again. I was through with men. It’s the last time, I’ll ever fall in love. When we’re young we can be forgiven For actin’ wild and free But Fool me once shame on you Fool me Now, I’m older than old enough to know better twice, shame on me Ain’t in the market for no letterman’s sweater. Proved I can live without a man. And if one left me at break of day Well I’d be tired of him anyway. Just like fish in the kitchen sink After three days men start to stink. I don’t need no Gideon Bible This girl here, she’s mighty liable, To do it again. Bring on the men. I may be rusty but I’m solid gold And a little bit of lovin’ never gets old Give me one last time to never fall in love. I’d like one more last time. To never fall in love.

He Believes In Love (3:36) He believes that bells can ring our whole lives long. He believes in every single word of every sentimental song. He believes that what he sees in a lover’s eyes is real and that the things she tells him indicates just how she feels. Something’s wrong between us that won’t go away. It’s not is what we do, or in what we say. The difference that’s between us , I just can’t ignore. he believes in love and I don’t, anymore. He believes that tender nights filled with blazing fire symbolize a great deal more than yearning and desire. And I believe infatuation, is just a wind that blows doesn’t stay forever; simply comes and goes. Something’s wrong between us that won’t go away. It’s not is what we do or in what we say. The difference that’s between us, I just can’t ignore. he believes in love and I don’t, anymore. I believe that he will always be my angel flying me to places in his misty, loving eyes. I believe that he will always hover near my shoulder, whispering sweet nothings in the hope I’ll realize. But Something’s wrong between us that won’t go away. It’s not is what we do, or in what we say. It’s just that I believe that love is rarely worth the cost and he believes that love can save the lost. Something’s wrong between us that cuts me to the core, he believes in love and I don’t He believes in love and I don’t. I don’t believe in love, anymore.

Snow Angel 03:08
Snow Angel (3:09) We were two freckled face kids on a farm in New England. After a storm sometimes we’d slip out to the barn And there on a blanket of new fallen snow Flat on our backs, on the ground we would go waving our legs and our arms in delight. How I remember those nights! Make a snow angel for me, make a snow angel for me They’ll be no snow in the place where I go Make a snow angel for me. Remember the night when the blizzard just buried our town? There were no cars on the streets and all business shut down. Out in the parking lot at the high school, We didn’t care if we looked cool Just two great big kids in the snow and the ice When I am gone it would be nice if you’d make a snow angel for me, make a snow angel for me They’ll be no snow in the place where I go Make a snow angel for me. It’s darker than death tonight out here in the desert. The air is too still and I’m feeling especially lost. I took your picture out once more today I shed a tear then I put it away I sit all alone in this foreign land But I know you can hear me, and I’ll bet that you can make a snow angel for me, make a snow angel for me. You are my sister, my friend, and my twin. You know me best, outside and in, We share the same hair, the same eyes, the same skin. So after the chores you know where to go – Out to the barn in the new-fallen snow Just think of me as you wave to and fro And make a snow angel for me.

Peace 03:38
Peace (3:39) My hand is soft and small. My Daddy holds it close. His eyes crinkle down, mine smile up. And the world is rich and sweet, like cocoa made with cream that Grandma serves me from a china cup. And I’d like to give this memory to all the hollow eyed and sad children of a thoughtless world. And I can’t be silent ‘til the world is singing, dancing to rhythms that will never cease. I stumble in shadows searching for the sunlight. I will be restless ‘til I see peace. My Grandpa’s smile are sweet locked in that photograph. His uniform is clean, his face unlined. And I’d like to meet that smile but it left him on that day he sailed across the sea to save mankind. And I’d like to make it into a mask for all the hollow eyed and sad survivors of a warring world. And I can’t be silent . . . The world’s in need of hope. It needs a brand new birth. peace. Raise your voices sing - I will be restless ‘til I see peace. Now my little well-fed child sleeps in my arms tonight. I hope that he’ll grow up to understand that his comfort comes at quite a price. Oh yes, they’re paying quite a price. All the hollow-eyed and sad, children of a thoughtless world. Turn our swords into plowshares Hang our speasr upon the wall Let us fight no more forever Answer not the trumpet’s call You may say that I’m a dreamer But I’m not the only one I will be restless til I see peace

Travelin Thru (4:43) There are songs about highways, ramblin’ boys who won’t settle down. Gotta keep moving, there’s a girl in every town. And songs about lonely, watching the West bound plane, Tryin to get home, standing in the pouring rain. Travelin through, seems the human race is always trying To get to a different place Travelin through, seems that we are seldom satisified. The grass is always greener on the other side. Reincarnation, the lowliest of the low find consolation in know that we’ll grow Our destination is a higher place We will evolve, achieve a state of grace. Travelin through . . . I’ll put my mind to stayin’ and likin’ where I am And the life I chose, lovin’ just one man. And puttin’ down roots instead of chasin’ dreams Cause the grass out there ain’t always what it seems. Travelin through ….

Waiting On Oblivion (3:15) He’s a rock star. Got it all. Got the big car. Got a mansion on a hillside. Got his share of thrills. Doesn’t matter. When his head starts to shatter, he’s gotta drown the sound in alcohol and pills. Can’t abide the chaos that he’s livin’ in. Darkness comes along you know that he’ll be givin’ in just to find some way to ease the strain. He’s waiting on oblivion. She’s a good mom. But she’s tickin’ like a time bomb. House is like a jailor locking up her needs. Orders out for pizza. Downs a quart of ice cream. Snacks her way to midnight, swallowing her dreams. She’s feeling so confined in the life that she’s living in. Darkness comes along you know that she’ll be giving in just to find some solace for the pain. She’s waiting on oblivion. Life is filled with such confusion It can be hard to walk in the light Sometimes we need a little help to get us through the night. He’s the good son. Does what needs to be done. But inside he’s a sailor. Deep down he longs to roam. Laces on his sneakers. Goes out to hit the pavement. Wind in his ears makes him feel at home. Feeling tired of the life that he’s He’s waiting on oblivion – Waiting on oblivion – Waiting on oblivion

Keeps you from doing the things you want to do. Kick back at your leisure, and pour yourself a great big measure Of a little foolish pleasure it’s good for you. Go grocery shopping with your jammies on roll around naked on a new mown lawn Do some things that grownups seldom do. Sing a coupla stanzas of a silly song Grab a friend, drag him a long Share some foolish pleasures with him too. Your job can get you down, turn your smile into a great big frown, Pays the bills, your soul it does not feed. Kick back at your leisure and pour yourself a great big measure Of a little foolish pleasure, it’s what you need. Drink all day from a garden hose, put jelly beans in your cheerios. Croon yourself an old Sinatra tune. Laugh so hard you cannot stop, bay at the moon from a mountaintop, Foolish pleasures just can’t come too soon So you’re having a bad day? Here’s what I say to that: Find your inner Mel Torme and break out in some scat Play hopscotch with the neighbor girl, Give her hula hoop a whirl, A little foolish pleasure’s where it’s at. If your brain is fried, if someone hurts your pride, Here’s the the drill, you know what to do: Kick back at your leisure and pour yourself a great big measure Of a little foolish pleasure, it’s good for you. A little foolish pleasure’s good for you.

Talk To Me 02:30
Talk To Me (2:31) There’s a young man at a café Looking tenderly down at his new iphone. See the young girl sitting across the way hugging her Android looking so alone. In a minute I suppose, he will send her a text message and propose. It’s not my imagination our communication has gone to hell. I suggest that we should talk you say you need a walk I should text you or email. How hard can it be? Look me in the eyes and talk to me. I went to visit with a family There was a daughter and a son and a mom and dad, One was playing games on the tv One was on her mobile, two on their new ipads. They are aware I assume That I’m standing there right with them in the same room. I would like to look you in the eyes and tell you some things. That’s the only way I’ll realize exactly what you’re feeling. I say I would like to talk to you so that we don’t misunderstand Each other, let a little problem Get totally out of hand You say text me or call. Or even better post it on my facebook wall. It’s not my imagination our communication has gone to hell. I suggest that we should talk you say you need a walk I should text you or email. How hard can it be? Look me in the eyes and talk Look me in the eye. Look me in the eye- If I suggest you meet me Don’t tell me you’ll tweet me Look me in the eye and talk to me.

about

Loosely based on themes of love and communication, the CD combines country roots with city sophistication. Cyrus Rhodes of Indie Music Digest calls Fallon "one of the good artists in a sea of soulless clutter" and describes the album as "very consistent, well-crafted and extremely entertaining." Metronome magazine calls it "Playful, inspired and wonderfully recorded" and Billy Copeland news says that the "artistry shines through on many levels in every song on this disc." The Boston based "Noise" calls her "pretty, expressive, and intelligent." A little folk, a little county, a little pop.
