Deliver Me Slowly - Lyrics
Delivery me slowly, I’m wasting away.
Come into, this little room, back in your heart, we’re waiting for you.
You’ve been so cozy and all of us know. We’re breaking our backs, just to see you.
Delivery me slowly, I’m wasting away.
What can you do?
Oh my southern girl, deliver me unto this world.
And when we awoke, suddenly broke.
Deliver me now, I’m wasting away.
Oh, my southern girl…
If you’ve got time, if you’ve got mind, I’ll be your open end waiting in line.
Take care of me, just let me be, someone to hold, for you to see.
Delivery me slowly, I’m wasting away.
What can it be?
Oh my southern belle, deliver me down from this hell.
And when you awoke, you were so broke.
Deliver me now, I’m wasting away.
Oh, my southern girl…

Norway House – There Was a Time – Lyrics
There was a time before our baby had arrived
Mamma and Papa would go for a drive
Get on the bike and head down town.
That was life, we had the whole thing down.
There was the time before our baby was here.
That was a time when Mamma drank beer
Oh, my little one
There was the day, our baby was here.
Mamma and papa gave three cheers.
Our little one had arrived in this town.
And our whole world flipped upside down.
There was the day our baby arrived
That was the time even papa cried.
Oh, my little one
And all your worries, sent to the back of your car
And all new worries find a place in your heart
Now is the time that our baby is alive.
The doctor told us that she’ll thrive.
We’re so glad that she’s finally here
Mama can drink half bottle of beer.
Since the time that our baby has arrived
Our old life has been left behind
Oh, my little one

Oh I know there will be; a time when we
Will be together and sing, under the sun
But until that day, I’ll just have to say
All the things that I thought, for us to live
Bunny Moon is torn in two; My heart goes out to both of you.
Well baby won’t you just entertain
I know it’s coming soon; we’ll just run to the moon.
And maybe make our way home, until it begins.
So let’s wait and see; what we get to be
Imagination about; it’s lost and found

Norway House – In Her Eyes – Lyrics
There was a time when my baby was around, it meant nothing at all
I couldn’t stop to think about her smile. it meant something to me
My baby girl, My baby baby girl; oh won’t you settle down
My baby girl, My baby baby girl; oh won’t you settle down
And in her eyes I see myself looking back
And in her eyes, I see a soul staring strong
And in her eyes
There was a time my love would never stop, it meant something to me
If I could go back into that spot, I would never leave
My baby girl, My baby baby girl; oh won’t you settle down

Your great grandfather fought in the Infantry
Sofi, you’ve got to know, all about your family tree.
Your great grandfather had fought, in Canada’s infantry.
We’ll learn from one another
And watch out for each other.
Wait up to see. Wait up for me
Sofi, you should learn of what it takes to exist.
And what it took to build this land, and what it takes just to persist.
We’ll learn from one another
And watch out for each other.
Wait up to see. Wait up for me
Go to sleep, my little one.
Go to sleep, I’ll tell you more.
When you wake up, from this open ending
Little dream
Sofi, you will lead everything that we have built.
Please take what you need to live, don’t feel bad if you have guilt.
We’ll learn from one another
And watch out for each other.
Wait up to see. Wait up for me
