Anna Paddock and Paul Simon

Tomorrow I have the wonderful privilege of performing one of my songs as an opening act for PAUL SIMON at the Beacon Theatre in New York City. 

Here are the lyrics for the song I will sing:

HOME AWAY FROM HOME  © 2013 – Anna Paddock

I could feel the wind change direction when you'd walk through the door

And I had my first taste of perfection when we kissed on your bedroom floor

I'll admit that I fell a little harder than I should have

But I don't regret any of it, I'd do it again if I could, 'cause you were my

Home away from home

Just knowing that you were alive made me less alone, 'cause you were my

Home away from home

I could feel your heart change direction on that cold November day

And I had my first taste of rejection when I couldn't make you stay

I'll admit that I fell a little harder than I should have

But do you regret any of it, would you do it again if you could? 'Cause you were my

Home away from home

Just knowing that you were alive made me less alone

Now it's been a hundred days and a thousand miles

And I'm still driving away from my home away from...

Home away from home, you were my

Home away from home

Knowing that you were alive made me less alone, 'cause you were my

Home away from home

I could feel the wind change direction when you'd walk through the door

Thank you again Katie for giving me an opportunity to share on your blog.  Earlier in the fall (in my first post), I had expressed my desire to be able to write this fall.  It certainly has been a writing season for me, and I now anticipate the winter and the time to edit and arrange the songs from the past 8 weeks.  I decided to share a lyric for one of my recent songs I wrote this fall.  There is no proper recording of it available as of yet, but if you'd like to hear my initial demo – you can email annapaddockmusic@gmail.com, and I will make it available for you to listen – either by email or a website link.  

HUSH – Anna Paddock © 2013

Hush, you've said enough

You're like a disease, and I don't need this

Hush, say no more

You come like a thief, and I don't need you

People say “we'll fix your head”

Just swallow this pill, it'll get easier

I tell myself, 'get out of bed'

You can not be ill, it'll get easier, but all I hear is

Voices, voices, voices

God I can't think when I hear

Voices, voices, voices

They're growing in number, they're closing in

Hush, don't rear your head

You're like a disease beginning to spread

Hush, you've made your point

You come like a thief to kill and destroy

People say “we'll fix your brain

Just swallow this pill, it'll get easier”

Statistics say “you're one in ten

Maybe you're ill, it'll get easier”, but all I hear is

Voices, voices, voices

God I can't think when I hear

Voices, voices, voices

They're growing in number, they're closing in

God I cant think when I hear

Voices, voices, voices,

They're growing in number, they're closing in

Hush, it's time you go

You're like a disease killing my soul

Hush, you've said too much

You come like a thief, and you've taken enough
