I’d never force you from the forest Heist the hatchet from your hands I’d never pull on all your fingers If you didn’t want to dance I’d never show my naked body if you truly needed sleep ‘Cause you’re not my little play thing And I never want to be your Last Word Queen I’d never put you in the spotlight if that song was just for me Or blow smoke rings in your face dear If you got down on one knee I’d never shoo you to the shoreline if that’s not where you longed to be ‘Cause you’re not my little play thing And I never want to be your Last Word Queen I’ve watched you draw your pictures in invisible ink I hear every word you’re saying even when you don’t speak I’d sit and wait for your final answer if it took the longest week ‘Cause you’re not my little play thing And I never want to be your Last Word Queen So even though I’m your ally Please correct me where I’m wrong Shine a light on all the places I can’t reach you with my song Your love is my horizon And I’m your shoreline pine Though we share the same bright sky dear I’d never try to make you mine I’d never force you from the forest Chelsea Lynn La Bate

Night time, moonshine A banjo and no road signs All the way from Boone to Spruce Pine Will I find you sleeping there Night time, moonshine I won't take it if it's not mine I'll climb if I can't I can't fly See the mountains from both ends Night time, moonshine Fireflies by the roadside Well we always seem to get by On a horseshoe and a prayer Night time, moonshine Pockets full of four leaf clovers I'm so glad you're coming over We'll see the mountain from both ends Chelsea Lynn LaBate For Elliot Z Penland School of Crafts, NC

You're singing to the night sky Eyes perched above my head The marks of your melody Made by the hands of your breath If love leads to action How will we ever rest Finger moving over old strings Buffalo hearts in our chests Chorus If heaven is a place Where everything goes right And love is a shape That never knew any lines Can I keep you in a state Where what has lived never dies May we leave this place With Appalachian eyes You're gleaming in the daylight Old barns smearing by Blackberries on the fence lines The sun drawing pictures on your closes eyes Chorus You're gleaming with a banjo Blue light on your face Is the key to living simply Simply dropping out of the race Chorus We're singing to the night sky Buffalo hearts in our chest Chelsea Lynn La Bate Penland School of Crafts, NC.

I come to you with my nursery rhymes in the these New York times You pull out your piano bench The battles blaze the babies take shape the face of your heart appears through the haze Cause we've built this monument a modest brigade Laid out our blankets in one another's shade And you say kiss my eyes lay the soft parts of your body on the hard times of my life I've tried my best here to follow the directions right It's been a mixture of effort, love and time We come to that place where the weather changes and the lights dim and the water drains And the hand that we're holding withdraws and swaps names the steering wheel sways the car changes lanes Cause we don't have an escape plan Or a way out of here Or a filtration system to manage our fears And you say kiss my eyes lay the soft parts of your body on the hard times of my life I've tried my best here to follow the directions right It's been a mixture of effort, love and time I come to you with my nursery rhymes in the these New York times You pull out your piano bench Chelsea Lynn La Bate
