Another Miracle
Words & Music by Cameron Gray
© 2010 Rough Harbor Music

Learning to wear my woes
Sharp dressed in heart shaped clothes
Getting harder to muster
The energy I need to be disgusted
I know, I know.

Maybe we don’t need another miracle
Maybe we don’t need another miracle
Maybe we don’t need another miracle

Learning to weigh my words
Dove shaped dissident birds
Wonder what’s worth keeping
Crumb collecting while the the sun is sinking
I know, I know.

Maybe we don’t need another miracle
Maybe we don’t need another miracle
Maybe we don’t need another miracle

When I want you, you don’t want me
When I see you, you don’t see me
When we find ourselves lost at sea
If I rescue you, would you rescue me?

Maybe we don’t need another miracle
Maybe we don’t need another miracle
Maybe we don’t need another miracle

Lyrics
Unite our hearts in Thee, dear Lamb,
Thy blood has made us one,
To love and praise Thy gracious Name
‘Til we meet round Thy throne.

Here manifest Thyself in peace,
Thy tender mercies show,
Come breathe on us Thy word of grace,
And move us each to love.

Now let each broken, blood-bought soul rejoice,
Now let us hymn our risen Christ,
Now let each nation, color, tongue and tribe
Our ransomed song unite.

Unite our hearts in Thee, dear Lamb,
Thy blood has made us one,
To love and praise Thy gracious Name
‘Til we meet round Thy throne.

Singing
Holy, Holy, Holy
Holy, Holy, Holy
Worthy is the Lamb to receive glory

Scripture References
Rev 5:1-14

miaThis song was written for my new friend little McGinnis “Mia” Turner, and recorded in honor of her momma Carolyn’s birthday. Hooray!

Special thanks to Johnny C for the piano and mixing expertise, Papa Will for adding a little violin for his daughter’s song, Mellie, Nate & Sarah, Matt & Erika, Barbara, Richard, and Wes for the voices, snaps, hand claps and barely-stifled laughter. And most of all thanks to Will & Carolyn for giving us little Mia, definitely someone worth singing about!

One More Try

cut my wrist
breaking promises
praying Jesus forgets
what he don’t forgive
now when I look at you
and you’re looking away
feel that tide that turns
my night to day

let’s give it one more try

all I know
is written on my hands
written with a stone
pressed up against my skin
I can’t forget your face
I can’t forget your touch
knowing you real name
never meant so much

let’s give it one more try

they won’t know my name
in a hundred years
they won’t know my face
or these hopes and fears
but in the here and now
down in the bend and bring
we remember
everything

let’s give it one more try

Hearts & Diamonds
Words & Music by Cameron Gray
©2009 Rough Harbor Music

sky falling down
dark at the edge of town
measuring wisdom by the mile
never enough
using up that love
crying, trying to make it stay
don’t make it bad, don’t be so sad, darlin please,
we ought to know better by now

hearts and diamonds
lost in a wonderland
hearts and diamonds for you

give ’til it aches
bending until you break
spending all those years waiting
storms that come riding
riding a wicked wind
I feel them coming before they hit
out of that wild blue yonder, such a long way to wander
when I’m all alone you’re what keeps me hanging on

hearts and diamonds
lost in a wonderland
hearts and diamonds for you

wait for it son, hearts and diamonds
ever since I was a young man
making promises I never dreamed I’d break
now I’m lost inside you
now I’m lost inside you

hearts and diamonds
lost in a wonderland
hearts and diamonds for you

Late at night, totally sick with no voice. Recorded on iFriend within 10 minutes of writing it.

Sweet Comfort
Words & Music by Cameron Gray
© 2009 Rough Harbor Music

Oh sweet comfort, can I call you my own?
Will you let me lay my aching head on your breastbone?
Can I crawl inside your arms and make myself a home?
Oh sweet comfort, come for me.

Come on, sweet comfort, won’t you pick up the phone?
Tonight I’m broke and drunk and sad and sleeping all alone
Can I lay with you when all my other lovers go?
Oh sweet comfort, come for me.

Come on, dark night, lay your skin over me
Come on, bright dawn, break your fist across my cheek
When I’m sure I’ve broken every promise left to break
Oh sweet comfort, come for me.

For Mellie’s 31st birthday I secretly recorded 3 songs I wrote for her and made a present of them. Hooray for Mellie!
