Another November come and gone they go so fast my friend we were strong until the end Another December comes along how days slip on by Where were you, when that cold wind cried Summers come and summers go Winter's here, the cold wind blows And you are like the changing wind When it ends, it begins again Another September comes again this note I read from you darling, my love is true Another October once again, how do you feel This time, i know it’s real Another November come and gone, they go so fast my friend We were strong until the end

The Acrobat 02:10
I'd like to see her on a tight rope very high which way will she fall? I'd like to witness falling down to the ground gracefully taking her life like she took mine like she took mine And when she hits the ground will I smile or frown?
4.
True Love 03:02
You tie my hands and watch me bleed True love they don't understand how good you are to me they don't understand love has to bleed Light up my life and watch me burn True Love They don't understand how you can be They don't understand love has to bleed

Goozy 02:40
i’ll walk her down the street when she wants to go i’ll tell her i love her, when she wants to know she is good and drunk and goozy, all the time i will buy her favorite beer I’ll spend a night in jail I’ll tell her I’ll be true everything will be (my love will never fail)

Red & Black 03:30
Take this knife out of my back, it's turning black Take this gun off of my head, it's turning red Will you kill me dead or kiss me instead take me out or take me back Make it red Make it black Take these snakes out of my bed, they're turning red Make this heart attack, it's turning black Will you kill me dead or kiss me instead take me out or take me back Make it red Make it black Will you kill me dead or kiss me instead take me out or take me back Make it red Make it black

Walkin’ down the street one day she appeared like the month of may there she was like a bed of flowers I gave her all my powers that was the greatest day that’s when I heard her say I’ll walk wherever you go when you’re gone time moves way too slow it all starts with a little stroll then you look into my soul I’ll see you later tonight I hear the moon will be full and bright Lookin’ back on that fateful day on an on and on we played we did so many things as we danced to the joy love brings I saw her later that night oh that moon, was full and bright

Man or Woman 02:23
I gotta man who don't know how to treat a girl, leaves me cryin' on the floor I gotta man who won't know what he's losing til he sees me walkin' out the door When you can't take no more and you're on the floor and you need a helping hand I need a man who can handle me or a woman that can understand Need a man who can handle her or a woman that can understand I need a man who knows how to love a girl, knows just how to satisfy I need a woman who knows what to say to me when I hang my head and cry When you can't take no more and you're on the floor and you need a helping hand I need a man who can handle me or a woman that can understand Need a man who can handle her or a woman that can understand Daddy, can you handle me? Momma can't you understand? Brother, can you handle me? Oh, sister won't you take my hand?

There’s no action in life, better or any worse everything proves the mystery and the truth There’s no better luck or position if there’s something negative, you will learn if there’s something positive, you will enjoy it there’s nothing to strive for, it seems you might have weaknesses, but they too give you strength life will never be simple

Pretty Girl 02:35
I can see you have been there before Cause there are things that only we can tolerate no more I can tell you know well this world can be lonely But when you smile, you're a light that shines on everything Pretty Girl, let the world shine on you I can sense your defense, put your guard down Cause I am near, let me hear and I won't make a sound Pretty Girl, let the world hear you sing And when you smile, you're a light that shines on everything

I passed out yesterday comin’ back home dyin’ everyday sleepin’ all alone I was the root beer man last year I was the root beer man with three feet on the wall and one in my bed there’s a cat outside wonderin’ if you’re dead

Wondergirl 01:42
spoken: We need you wondergirl, where are you? Wondergirl (danger) Wondergirl (faster, faster) Wondergirl (kill, kill) Wondergirl (faster, faster) Underestimate and you'll surely die the girl is danger, kiss your life goodbye Turn around and she'll be right behind Wondergirl (danger) Wondergirl (faster, faster) Wondergirl (kill, kill) Wondergirl (faster, faster) Nothing to live for not afraid to die spoken: We need you wondergirl, where are you? Wondergirl spoken: We need you wondergirl, where are you?

And I wanna go And I wanna stay I want to live in the light and grow old most everyday And that’s the way, I live in the light Don’t you wanna go Don’t you wanna stay Don’t you live in the light and grow old, most every day And that’s the way...you live in the light And I wanna go And I wanna stay Everyday something goes wrong, something brightens my day That’s the way....I live in the light

Skeleton Bride where is your veil? It was found down a wishing well The towers ring the funeral bell cause we know you're life's a living hell Yes, we know your life's a living hell Before and evermore Skeleton Bride where is your heart? Did you lose it when you fell apart? Skeleton Bride all dressed in white, you climbed underground to say goodnight Closed the door Forevermore Skeleton Bride, where did you go? All we see is a pile of bones.

Love, won't you take a walk with me through the cemetery? Love, won't you lie down with me in the statuary? Come drink some wine with me underneath the old oak tree We'll pour the rest into the ground for Mr. & Mrs. Brown for Mr. & Mrs. Brown Flowers are blooming here grown from rain and widow's tears You put one behind my ear This is where we will spend our years this is where we will spend our years Come and have a cry with me beneath the old oak tree tears fall into the ground For Mr. & Mrs. Brown For Mr. & Mrs. Brown Ain't nobody ever want to live with me sitting all alone 'neath the old oak tree

about

Two households, both alike in artistry,
Reach across the web of the world
which births our scene.

Jon-Michael, an Leeni doth rose themselves from self apathy,
For new collaboration, yet unseen.

In the Lists of Craig, a Unity was found.
Fair Leeni of Seattle did but find herself unsatisfied, unfilled, uninspired. But from Pittsburgh a sound did come – sent by Good Jon-Michael.

The sound, while gentle, did resonate with Leeni. It was both compliment and counterpoint to the music that did swell within her.

A message did she send, back to the fair author of such dulcet tones! Good Jon-Michael most gladly accepted the missive and embraced it’s intent. Though distance and time separate them, they found a kinship in the Auld Tale, and took Romeo + Juliet as their name.

Now, a score and a half again of songs are testimony to success of the match.

Of those, 15 have been selected to go forth under the title “Month of May.” This first of many future offerings shall be prologue to a band that has an everlasting, creative passion for music.
