I wanna be a normal person The way that you want me to be I wanna be in all your pictures Without ever having to leave Leave, Leave, Leave If you’re the window I can’t tell If you’re the view, if you’re the pane? If you’re the blood that’s coursing through Could this be all in vain? Vain, Vain, Vain I wanna be a normal person The way that you want me to be I wanna be in all your pictures Without ever having to leave Leave, Leave, Leave If you’re the ship I’m sailing on Do I bail or do I berth? If you’re the spell that’s cast upon Am I charmed or am I cursed? Cause there’s no distraction That will keep you from my mind You seep in time again Despite space and time Oh, brush with fate, oh memory I wanna be a normal person The way that you want me to I wanna be in all your pictures Without ever having to leave Leave, Leave, Leave

Why don’t you show yourself? Don’t hide- you’re not like everyone else And you know you’re not to blame There’s two of us involved in this game And I tell you that I’m sorry If I thought that you’d hear I’d tell you that I’m lonely If I thought you’d care Why does it seem to me? I’m drawn to you-curiosity And I know you always say Don’t let that heart get carried away And I tell you that I’m sorry If I thought that you’d hear I’d tell you that I’m lonely If I thought you’d care If I thought you’d care… Oooh Don’t tell me that you’re leaving When you’re already not here As I retrace our steps, I saw you disappear Oooh

Hey wait, wait Hey wait... Don’t leave me like this It hits, hits It hits... And I can’t get out of it Cause only the songs we sing Can free us From the truth we share Of Knowing that we were one I can feel you here Hidden in this moment As the leaves lose green And I say Goodbye to the Sun But we, we But we... We are not alone And our hearts, hearts Our hearts... Will never disown Cause only the songs we sing Can free us From the truth we share Of Knowing that we were one I can feel you here Hidden in this moment As the leaves lose green And I say Goodbye to the Sun Goodbye to the Sun…

Running 03:54
My dreams have overcome me I can’t tell fake from reality I’m drowning in a sea of what-ifs I’d hate to think of the moments I’ve missed But afterall, I’m still trying Yeah, I lie-but I’m not lying And I fear that if I were to break down That my fate would be all over this town And I know it’s better than somethings So, I won’t just be up and running All we know is that it’s coming We feel it in our bones We occupy a vacancy Like a house with lights but no one home… Home…

The Ghost 04:17
The dark seeps in So slowly, But not slow enough for me, To win the battle I’m kicking for the… Surface Above this, Where the Sun is, I’m always, always waiting Oh, the Ghost, In the corner, It always, always waves to me And I never know Which version I’ll be tomorrow And you’re always waiting in the throes So patient Knowing that I’ll… Surface Above this, Where the Sun is, I’m always, always waiting Oh, the Ghost, In the corner, It always, always waves to me Oh, the Ghost In the corner, It’s always, always waving Oh, the Ghost In the corner It always, always waves to me… To me… To me… To me…

about

All Blue and Gold merges a modern soundscape and acoustic instrumentation. Electric guitars and synths blend with cello, accordion, zither, and layered percussion. Sara MacDonald's voice is clear and intimate while being surrounded by lush harmonies, yet the sound never strays too far from its acoustic upbringings and focus on songwriting.
