Who
Says the owl outside my window
Who
Do you think you are where will you go
It's been three hundred sixty five dry days
And the desert's got a mercenary way
Of stripping you
Down to your bones
Run
Is my instinct oh so strong
Run
to the bright horizon
And the desert's gonna help me clear my head
When the sunrise turns the sky to red
I remember
How far I've come
If I ever think to double back
Oh no no, the landscape is too cold
Dress again in city black
Oh no no, I'd rather pan
For gold
Dust
What we're made of, what we'll become
Dust
clouds the bright horizon
And the wind can raise a devil made of sand
To tear the future from my hands
Gotta hold on fast
Stay on this road
If I ever think to double back
Oh no no, the landscape is too cold
Dress again in city black
Oh no no, I'd rather pan
For gold
And an anniversary's a funny thing
With weathered hands no trace of rings
The day still stings
The bell still tolls
The day still stings
The bell still tolls

Days Before You Knew
03:46

Don’tcha always hurt the ones you love
Never meaning to
Oh you think they’ll stay and so you shove
Til you both are blue
One is sorry
The other sad
Gone too far til it’s all gone bad
Stretched so thin
All the love runs through
Til there’s nothing but a memory of
The days before you knew
When the love comes down
Like a curtain fall
All you hear is the loud, loud
Heartbeat call
And all the checkered flags
Couldn’t stop that car
Until you jump the track
Til you’ve gone too far
Disbelieving and in denial
One more step towards the final trial
Stretched so thin you can see the truth
Til there’s nothing but a wish for
The days before you knew
Oo, the days before you knew
Somewhere deep down you know it’s there
In the darkness that makes you scared
And that memory is so unfair
Makes you wanna travel back in time
To the days before you knew
Oh the days before you knew
The days before you knew
Oh the days before you knew
Don’tcha always hurt the ones you love

Long Live Love

LONG LIVE LOVE
There’s blood on my lips
And a bruise on your cheek
But lord knows the earth will inherit the meek
I fall to my knees and surrender to this
The spoils of the battle
The trophy your kiss, oh
Long live love
The shine of the stars in our eyes at the start
Long live the fire in our hopeful hearts
Long live love
The sting of the heartbreak
The sweet reconcile
The flights on your staircase
A long barefoot mile
The truth may deny us
But still it will save
We light our bonfires
And choose our own names, oh
Long live love
The aching and scars when it’s run its way through
Long live the memory of wanting you
Long live love
We lay down our arms like the battle is won
But sure as a bullet that’s shot from a gun
Oh the lines in the sand that is slipping away
We fall back to come back
And fight one more day, oh
Long live love
The shine of the stars in our eyes at the start
Long live the fire in our stitched up hearts
Long live love
Long live love
Long live love

MERCILESS
Three A.M.
Stuck thinking ‘bout your mouth on mine
God I wanna be your valentine
I’m out of quarters for the phone
You and me
No secret ‘bout this chemistry
But I’m drowning in history
Maybe better off alone
Slow burn
through another sleepless night
The heart don’t lie
but the truth is blind
and merciless
to me
Heaven sent
Is what you’d be if I was not hell bent
On getting lost in the oblivion
Of your love on loan
Stay my hand
Keep me from thinking ‘bout future plans
Cause I’d only burn and then I’d crash
Sinking hard like a stone
Slow burn
through another sleepless night
The heart don’t lie
but the truth is blind
and merciless
to me
I said the heart don’t lie
but the truth is blind
and merciless
to me
Merciless to me
Merciless to me

No Companion

NO COMPANION
No companion
But this cold sweat
Trying to forget
When this bed was warm
No companion
But this silence
There’s a strange momentum
On this clear morn
I know solitude’s my friend
But there’s something ‘bout beginning
Every day beside the empty spot
You used to lay
I suppose I’ll grow accustomed to the extra space
But oh the madness
Of my dreams at night
Trying to convince me
I’m still in your sights
I know I’m runnin’
That my heart will fight
Any effort to release you
To some former life
No companion
Oh someday soon I’ll turn a corner
And I’ll be just fine
And all that’s out of order
Will fall into line
Soon as it sinks in that you were only mine
For a tiny while
Like an alibi
No companion
Oh lover
When we meet again
I will be kind to you baby
Be a solid friend
But no companion
Leaves the journey when
There’s a choice to duck for cover
Or sing in the rain
No companion

Celia Chavez California
Babilonia is the reclaimed creative persona of singer Celia Chavez. This new 5-song EP is an expression of her tenacious faith in love as a solution, and -- the reason for the new moniker Babilonia -- my calling home of all the voices I have summoned in support of other artists over the past decade-plus. ... more
