The Void
03:43
|

|
Inside my heart there is a hole
It runs right down through my soul
Just waiting
Anticipating
Tried to fill it with a diamond ring,
but no no
This caged bird couldn’t sing
Something shiny just won’t do
No no no
Well maybe, if I had a baby
And I lived someone else’s dream
Then this hole wouldn’t seem
So big anymore
Wouldn’t it be funny
if I filled the hole with money
Maybe I could buy myself some time
To try to decide
what I really want
But I’m just a cog in a big machine
That tells me what my life should mean
Why can’t they tell me how to feel complete
They tell me to buy things and lose some weight
If I do what they say, then I’ll feel great
But the closer I get the further it all falls away
Inside my heart there is a hole
It runs right down through my soul
Just waiting

There Will Be Days
03:22
|
|||
|
There will be days when things don’t go your way
But into each life some rain must fall
There will be times when no one’s on your side
You’re in a hard place, with your back against a wall
There will be days when the sun shines through
So keep your head down ‘till tomorrow
Some people say that nothing’s going to change
It’s too late to be saved you’re lost at sea
Search and you will find that it’s a state of mind
It’s not what you know, but what you believe
There will be days when the sun shines through
So keep your head down ‘till tomorrow
Time will go by, nothing but blue skies
And you won’t feel the rain fall anymore
Day turns to night, turn on your light
It’s your chance to lead the lost ones back to shore
There will be days when the sun shines through
So keep your head down ‘till tomorrow

Hold On To Me
03:32
|
|||
|
Can we forget that it’s wrong
For the length of this song
‘Till the final refrain
Won’t you hold me again
In the dark my hands still search for you
But daylight brings the truth
It always brings the truth
Some suns set and some suns rise
But everything in life has a final reprise
And on judgement day, if it ever comes
You won’t be the one I just let slip away, ‘cause
In your loving arms I feel just fine
So won’t you won't you just
One more time
Hold on to me, hold on to me Again
I will let go
When I feel like I can
But until that day
Won’t you try to understand that
In your loving arms I feel just fine
So won’t you won't you just
One more time
Hold on to me, hold on to me Again

Joe
03:04
|

|
Joe had rhythm in his blood
He took blood tests in the morning before breakfast
The nurse checked his sugar levels
She said “Sugar, how ya doin’?”
He said “Restless.”
Joe had never been to Spain
But once saw Spain through the window of his fighter jet
Over Germany and France
He watched Germany go up in smoke
like cigarettes
Do you ever feel like you were born In the wrong time and place?
You’ll get there someday
Joe played Bingo in the afternoons
Cried “Bingo!” even when he didn’t have one
And when he’d sleep at night
He’d have nightmares of the war
And reach for his gun
Joe would daydream about heaven
And the heaven he imagined resembled Spain
People dancing in the streets
Joe was dancing and it took away his pain
Do you ever feel like you were born In the wrong time and place?
You’ll get there someday

Strong Wind
03:08
|

|
Now I’m standing at the crossroad I’ve been
Heading toward a long long time
One way is your happiness
Down the other road is mine
Will these two roads meet again
Somewhere down the line?
Well there ain’t no way of knowing, babe
You go your way I’ll go mine
I’m packing all my bags filled with
Memories from the years
And I’m taking all the good ones
and I’m Leaving the ones filled with tears
I don’t know where I’m going but we
Both know I can’t stay
Got to find someone who loves me right
Every flaw in every way
If I’m lucky a strong wind Will carry me home
Dry my eyes
And heal my soul
A strong wind
Will guide me to the unknown Oh
I hope someday you find the person
That you wanted me to be
And in their loving arms
You can finally see
These changing winds won’t always lead you
Where you want to go
No matter who you try to be
They will always lead you home
If I’m lucky a strong wind Will carry me home
Dry my eyes
And heal my soul
A strong wind
Will guide me to the unknown Oh

Bicycle Built For Two
02:34
|
|||
|
Why don’t we step outside
I think I’d like to take you for a ride
On a bicycle built for two
Take it easy,
nice and slow
Can’t think of any place we need to go
On a bicycle built for two
And if we happen to find
Something we weren’t looking for
Sometimes when you’re looking for nothing
That’s when, you find something more
And if we happen to find
Something we weren’t looking for
Sometimes when you’re looking for nothing
That’s when, you find something more
Oh Georgio pick up the phone
You drive me crazy
Leaving me all alone
On a bicycle built built for two

Sleepwalking
04:16
|
|||
|
You said “always and forever”
Like those words had never
Been said before
You looked into my eyes
And time stopped every time
I didn’t realize
what I was looking for
But with the dawn you were gone
And I was left
sleepwalking
Without you
Without you
Now what do I do?
Like a dream you can’t recall
Did it really happen at all
Or was I just sleeping?
Could anything feel that good?
Everything just as it should be
You beside me
Never needing more
But with the dawn you were gone
And I was left
sleepwalking
Without you
Without you
Now what do I do?
I guess I’ll just hope and pray
That you’ll come back this way
Something deep inside says you will
If our dream worlds never meet
I’ll always have my memories
Of our little something that never was
But with the dawn you were gone
And I was left
sleepwalking
Without you
Without you
Now what do I do?

Mother's Pearls
04:14
|
|||
|
You wear your mother’s pearls
And you have got your father’s sensibilities
It would please them to no end
That you ended up
exactly just like them
With a mortgage that you struggle to pay
Don’t worry one day things will be all right
On the day that you die you can finally relax
And sleep through the night
It’ll be alright It’ll be alright It’ll be alright
You’ve been told when you grow old
That’s when you’ll live your dreams
They take your money and they put it away
But there’s no money back guarantee
Every Sunday you wear your best
But you never stop and think to wonder why
Keep your eyes on the ground
Just do what they say
Never looking to the sky
Pay your bills cut the grass
And if anyone asks
say you’re happy And have everything that you want
Oh but what have they got
Is it better than yours?
Oh well your happiness can be bought
It can be bought
It can be bought
You can be bought
You’ve been told when you grow old
That’s when you’ll live your dreams
They take your money and they put it away
But there’s no money back guarantee

The Ugly Truth
03:34
|
|||
|
Think about
all the things you never thought you’d say
You never thought you’d do
Yesterday is gone
And now all that’s left is this song to sing
The ugly truth
It isn’t what you say but what you do
That makes you who you are
Who you are
We all make mistakes
You’ve got to give yourself the break
That you deserve
No matter what they say
They didn’t see the things you saw
They didn’t hear the things you heard
And it wasn’t what they said
but what they did
That made them who they are
Who they are
Old familiar faces are replaced
With ones that you don’t recognize
You can’t have it all
You’ve got to pay the toll
And leave the past behind
Because it isn’t what you say but what you do
That makes you who you are

Before You Go
04:59
|
|||
|
See the moments pass
They seem to pass so fast
You can’t hold on
To each one as they go
Where did the daylight rush off to?
And suddenly the moon walks in
And I’m left alone
Oh Oh Oh
I’ll miss you before you go
Oh Oh Oh
Long before it’s over
Oh Oh Oh
I’ll miss you before you go
Why can’t time
Just pass me by?
Everything slows down around me
But I can’t change what I see
Oh no
Everyone moves along
And when they’re gone they’re gone
But I
I’m left behind
Oh Oh Oh
I’ll miss you before you go
Oh Oh Oh
Long before it’s over
Oh Oh Oh
I’ll miss you before you go
Why can’t time
Just pass me by?
Do you think that this will happen again?
That history will be kind
That our hands might touch
Or our eyes might meet
Somewhere else down the line
You don’t always get a second chance
Just remember that
As the moments pass
Live each day as if it were your last
Just hold on
until you can’t

Casati Winnipeg, Manitoba
Casati is best characterized as a folk trio with an open mind. In the last three years as a band, they have found their voice as a unique blend of all the music that inspires them: the heartbreak of a country ballad, the vocal harmonies of 1950's and 60's pop, and the instrumental virtuosity of jazz and classical music, creating a sound that is familiar yet original. ... more
