and ahh that full bellied moon she’s a shinin on me
yeah she pulls on this heart like she pulls on the sea
and you came on strong like some running wave
and your beauty left me broke and hungry
left me begging to the birds for a bone or an offering
left me saying nothin, nothin, like i always say
and ahh that full bellied moon she’s a shinin on me
yeah she pulls on this heart like she pulls on the sea
and those broken hearted lovers,
they got nothing on me
This house She’s holding secrets I got my change behind the bed
In a coffee can, I throw my nickels in Just in case I have to leave
And I will go if you ask me to I will stay if you dare And if I go I’m goin shameless I’ll let my hunger take me there
This house She’s quite the talker She creeks and moans She keeps me up
And the photographs Know I’m a liar They just laugh as I burn her down
And I will go if you ask me to I will stay if you dare And if I go I’m goin on fire Let my anger take me there
The shingles man they’re shaking The back door’s burning through This house she’s quite the keeper Quite the keeper of you
I will go if you ask me to I will stay if you dare And if I go, I’m goin crazy I’ll let my darlin take me there

I'm a sucker for gray rainy days, a good mystery, deep conversation and music in the key of blue.
I live in Tennessee 20 minutes southeast of Nashville, the country music capitol of the world. There's a marker here in town which will inform you that you're standing in the exact location of the geographical center of Tennessee. The dead middle. Right here.
You should know that I have severely unhealthy obsessions with birds, the moon, the ocean, Elliott Smith and Bob Dylan. This can't be helped. I is what I is.
I wish to hear from anyone out there who wants to say anything at all to me. Unless it's like, "Hey Serena, I want to murder you and I hate your creepy face and your creepy freaky voice too." or something. Those thoughts can be left to yourself, please and thank you..
My newest song is titled "Night Owls" and you can listen to it or download it for free at ReverbNation or LastFM. Kind thanks to anyone who actually does.
