TRUCK'S LIGHT
Demo for the San Francisco Girl Chorus
Arrangement: Olivier Decrouille & DEER
Lyrics: DEER
In my solitude
there’s nothing that could guide me
Traveling so far
I never know where I’ll be
Could be lost in the middle of
a field of my own tears
mourning in the myst of my fears
Truck’s light through the night
has nothing to do with my mind
But reveal the feel of melting sights
Drivin off the milky way
chasing the stars
do not care what they say
I’m no more child and I say , and I say
I like you driving me at night
truck‘s lights right in my eyes
They’re calling me in some way
I’m no more a child in a way
I like you driving me at night
truck‘s lights right in my eyes
They’re calling me in some way
I’m no more child in a way
There’re so many things I wonder
being on the road is the answer
but only myself has to pay
the toll to be finding my highway
There’re so many things
that I wonder
being on the road is the answer
but only myself has to pay
the toll to be finding my high way

SINCE
Arrangement: DEER / Octavio Angarita
Lyrics: DEER
This is the story of my cousin Claire a very talented Ballet dancer, who had to quit dancing because of her father.
Caught in the middle of
Something quietly
The dust below my flies away
Gently disturbing my sad routine
I feel it in my bones,
And deeper still
So don’t try to prove me wrong
I’ll always try and see
The vagabond that is me
Since the day I was born
I wanted to dance all day long
And now that I have grown
Is there a chance that I belong
I gave it everything
you gave me the key to set me free,
hings I’ll never see from this day on The little stepsthat keeps me going on
The best I ever was is because of you
you are taking it away
and now it’s through
Just face the truth
it’s meant to be like this
Since the day I was born
And now that I have grown…

You didn’t have the choice
To remember or not
The good times and the crises
That you’ve known
Are over but not that song
Stories you liked to tell me
The bombs and the darkness all around
But somewhere hidden from the evil
Was whispering that childhood song
A song for her
A song for her
Now she remembers the song
that used That used to make me smile
Now she remembers the song
that used That used to make me cry
Now she remembers the song that used
That used to makes us sing
Now she remembers
Now she remembers
Now she remembers
HER SONG
Music and Lyrics: DEER
A song inspired by my grandmother's life and who struggled with Alzheimer's desease
A wounded deer leaps highest
I’ve heard the hunter tell
‘Tis but the ecstasy of death
And then the brake is still
The smitten rock that gushes
The trampled steel that springs
A cheek is always redder
Just where the hectic stings
Mirth is mail of anguish
In which its cautious arm
Lest anybody spy the blood
And, “you’re hurt“ exclaim
