In The Water 04:09
In The Water I was a sailor, stuck out at sea, drowning on 25 cold hard years of misery I went out alone, to search for my father, he said Lay that baby down in the water Ive got a Jesus, he puts me to sleep, and a half read bible torn up at my feet Sometimes the tide, it speaks to me in tongues, Sometimes I wanna let the water fill up my lungs Come on lay that baby down in the water Come on lay that baby down in the water Too late turn back,too far to go home,million miles of ocean nowhere to run I had my reasons, to leave you behind, something burning so deep inside Come on lay that baby down in the water Come on lay that baby down in the water Come on lay that baby down in the water Come on lay that baby down in the water Come on lay that baby down in the sea, right next to me

Caroline 05:00
Caroline Caroline glass of wine, she falls in love, all the time Paris France, Eiffel tower, half a bottle, half an hour Piano man, play her hard hold your cards keep her far London calling in her pants, woah woah woah hello love, goodbye France Caroline glass of wine, she falls in love all the time They will never understand, dance with me take my hand Back at home time is standing still, demanding against your will Whispering listen to your mamas words but But hang up the phone, visit the queen, be the reddest lips on the NY scene Caroline glass of wine, she falls in love all the time Paris France, oh o o Eiffel tower, half a bottle half an hour Big old ben is ticking now, and its time to leave, time to take a bow Oh but make me smile sing the blues, New Orleans is calling you And I know that you can make it on your own, love just slows you down Tip that bottle down to the ground , all the way back home Caroline where did you go Caroline don’t you know Caroline drink it up Caroline have you had enough ? Pour another, take her under But feel the thunder, between her thighs take her home don’t make her cry Caroline Glass of wine, she fall in love, all the time They will never understand, dance with me take my hand Ow wow wow wow Caroline

Time Will Tell Love will bring us together, time will try to tear us apart In this forever better weather , I can’t see you in the dark He likes to walk me to work , He tries to button up my shirt Kiss me between the eyes, never told me no lies He likes to carry my bags, never lets me take out the trash And when we go out a night , he says baby keep your cash but Time will tell , time will tell, time will tell me if he is right one He’s got a way with his hands, Sometimes he lets me play the man There ain’t no struggle for power, oh baby don’t go sour Fill up my cup with love, the gods are smiling from above I don’t believe in destiny, I believe in you and me but Time will tell , time will tell, time will tell me if he is right one Its a full moon, its a long life, I choose you, tonight I got the good juice, its the right time, got a few tricks, babies all mine But, time will tell , time will tell, time will tell me if he is right one Time ooo Time ooo time ooo time

Ready For Your Love When your heart was asleep we were waiting in the wings For a story to be told for our time to begin Have you been through too much, whats inside your mind wouldn’t make me run, make me leave behind but I am ready for your love, we have waited for so long And with just a single touch, i just know it isn’t gone I wouldn’t give up on my dreams not even for you, That’s how i know its true, you wouldn’t ask me to Be the one, to whom I run They say its not enough, and I never had too much luck but I am ready for your love, we have waited for so long And with just a single touch, i just know it isn’t gone I am ready for your love, we have waited for so long And with just a single touch, i just know it isn’t gone

Star 111 06:25
Star 111 Is it safe to love? does it take to give? cause when i look at you, I just don’t feel a thing Is it safe to say? would you turn it down? when you look away, I just don’t feel a thing I’m on the highway mama, Im headed straight for you, I’m just a dollar away it’s true Is it safe to stay? Is it cool to leave? Would you go all night to give me what i need? Is it safe to sing? did you hear my voice? When you touch me there, I just don’t feel a thing I’m on the platform mama, stars burning through my eyes Tell me that you miss me, bye bye Is it safe to swim? is the water warm? Can you feel the bottom? I just don’t feel a thing Is it safe to fly? when you know that it’s a dream? When you lay with me, I just don’t feel a thing I’m on the mainstage mama, I’m on the radio Somebody is screaming my name I’ve gotta go Is it safe to live? To live in times like these? Just hold on to me cause I just don’t feel a thing I just don’t feel a thing I feel everything

about

Canadian singer-songwriter and visual artist Mimi Oz’s new album, the self-produced Growing Pains consolidates Oz’s talent into a caravan of styles and emotions, melding elements of soul, rock n’ roll, and jazz to her ever-growing sonic palette. Throughout the album, Oz tethers even the most oblique lyrics to the current sociopolitical climate, and even the most personal to our universal experiences

Recorded in both Toronto and NYC and mixed by Grammy-winning engineer L. Stu Young, Growing Pains features performances by New York cellist/songwriter Meaner Pencil, keys, organ and wurlitzer by Aidan Scrimgeour and longtime Canadian collaborator Richard Weisdorf. Track “Call Me Crazy” was co-written by Mike Milazzo, with string arrangements by Dan Ricker of Under St Marks Theatre NYC. A guest performance by members Leigh MacDonald and Josh Aguilar of the Memphis group Zigadoo Moneyclips for the track “Caroline” was recorded by Grammy nominated engineer and producer Ari Morris. Mimi arranged all harmonies, string and horn sections, as well as playing acoustic guitar on select tracks, including the ballad “Star 111.”
