Don't miss don't need I'm 'a ride out of town leave my mark far behind leave me there settle down leave me there till I find my mind and If I write you a letter read it twice that one line sayin' chorus: I don't miss you I don't need you but I'll love you till the end of time I'm 'a ride through this town find that place where the cold winds whine I'll stay there till I settle down in that place where the sun don't shine and if I call you one the phone pick it up, listen for the dial town sayin' I don't miss you I don't need you but I'll love you till the end of time As this road rolls through the mountains into the pines I have found my home among these yellow highway lines I don't miss you I don't need you but I'll love you till the end of time yes I'll love you till the end of time

Dreamscapes 02:29
What is this life but a sequence of dreamscapes what keeps me here when there's no one around to hear why don't I disappear What is this air we breathe so clear we can't see that it keeps us here when there's no one around see that it is what keeps us here This life is the most beautiful dream With you here and there's no one around to see and into your eyes I can disappear

Speck 05:19
Take the long way home Let me roll down the window and Watch the trees fly past feel the miles under me 'cause this road is much older than I ever hope to be The road that's built along side the rail-line that follows the fraser Tracks built on stolen land by men who's backs were already broken and You can feel the history embedded in the steel I've been told that I don't belong here and I've been shown that my roots are shallow I make no claims to this land no I'm just a Speck on a long highway line Take a piece of this a piece of my history to I'm gonna watch the trees fall down feel the years in-front of me 'cause my generation is searching for their home Yes my generation is searching for their place.

Simple Song 01:50
Sing me a song as I fall asleep on my lonesome tell me that you love me Play me a tune that you wrote just for me when you called me and you were lonely 'cause I miss you in the morning and I miss you in the evening Sing me a Simple Song one that's a sing-along play me a silly tune, one that you'll teach me soon Squeeze me like a teddy bear keep all my letters and don't forget to love me Will you think of me when your working will you think of me when your playing will you think of me when your older will you think on this song will you miss me in the morning in the evening will you miss me when I'm gone will you miss me till I'm home

Tideline 04:01
You cannot see past your insecurities I am too tired to be your mirror You spent my love too fast Still I live to give to you everything you'd ever need still you are my whole world Your head is filled with changing swells my heart is full the tide now needs to wane Your rowed to my shore Now you want to see the door Now you know what my hearts for Take with you my whole world Your back is turned your eyes are closed I know your gone but I'm still here I was not done Whispering in your ear secrets songs you loved to here having you be my world

Stay 03:43
Oh No! there's puddles of tears on the floor again and whiskey sweet whiskey on my lips and you are standing in that spotlight by the front door with a look that say's please be here when I get home 'cause it's that same fight over and over each night it always end's with the question why do I stay We met in the winter but I left in the spring-time you'd call and you'd ask me 'baby who is it way out there' I came back in the summer and in the fall we moved in together now here comes the question how long will you stay 'cause it's that same fight over and over each night It always ends with the question why do You stay It always ends with the question why do we stay

Take your time Take my time too You'll be fine If you know your mind I wear my heart Up in my ear Whether your far or whether your neer you'r all I hear I wear my soul Down in my shoes To keep myself From getting too bruised If you want my soul you can have that too just take your time to try my shoes I wear my mind Down in my gut Sometimes my gut it rot's my mind You don't need my mind No yours works fine Just take your time take your time take your time Take your time Take my time too You'll be fine If you know your mind you know my mind I know my mind you know my mind it's always on you

Ghost 04:37
Your ghost hangs around here like a shroud of fog and I'm watching out the window for a sign of a storm You built this old house up with the metal of your back You brought you whole family off the beaten path Now I can feel that storm coming and it's coming from within as all your children quarrel about who where and when I can feel your ghost wailing take me home where I belong Suddenly I'm standing at your side your telling me all about the great divide how all rivers must flow to the sea just some by west and some by east and if I walk through the field to the trees where you lay I can sometimes hear you calling I am home where I belong I hope your memory haunts me For as long as I live I hope someday I will find you Take me home where I belong do you ever hear me calling take me home where I belong Do you ever hear me calling take me home where I belong

Cold Town 03:28
It doesn't snow here much at all it just rains and rains and rains and rains and it rains we go out walking all year round it doesn't get to cold to bear so go home without me I'm too busy thinking about times before and that cold cold town that stole my heart froze it in the ground Do you remember when we took the train through the mountains and across the prairies we got to Toronto just in time you went to montreal I went to that cold cold town and when I got there I got ice in my boots Snow in my hair frost in my air that cold cold town, it stole my heart froze it in the ground So when you found me in that cold cold town there was ice in my boots snow was comin down you said we are lucky we've come so far and this town is ours not the other way around so go home without me I'm stuck here frozen in this cold cold town This cold cold town it moves around won't let me settle down >< 3

about

Recorded on Mayne Island and released by Fiddle Head Records, “Speck” was unleashed to a welcoming audience in May 2010. Produced, recorded and tracked on by her brother Adam Iredale-Gray (Fish & Bird), "Speck" spent its debut month receiving tons of national airplay, with O'mally supporting it on an extensive cross Canada tour of performances and interviews. Backing O'mally on the album and live is Elise Boeur on fiddle, and a rotating cast of talented players, while the album contains appearances from such notable western Canadian musicians as Oliver Swain (bass), Adrian Dolan (accordion/keyboards) and Tim Tweedale (lap slide). It's a fabulous collection of songs that's catching ears across the country, wrapping listeners in its warmth, instrumental splendor, and inspired vocals and lyrics. Think Joni Mitchell, Dirk Powell or Nick Drake, and the combination of generations worth of musical influence, everything from Robert Johnson to Radiohead, and you have a sense of all that is O’mally.
