OCEANS OF YOU Words & Music by Renate Anne Daversa Watching the sunset Standing somewhere on a beach Healed by the water Reminding me I know I can't go back Can't quite remember where I've been Healed by the water Feels like I'm drowning in oceans of tears I can’t touch bottom I'm running out of air I'm going under Oh rescue me From these oceans of You Endless oceans of you You're everything Everything I had hoped to be The waves have a way of reminding me When did you notice? Notice that we weren't meant to be? Why didn't you tell me? Why was I the last to know? Feels like I'm drowning in oceans of tears I can’t touch bottom I'm running out of air I'm going under Oh rescue me From these oceans of You Endless oceans of you And I am searching for a heart that’s true In these oceans of you Oceans of you Feels like I'm drowning in oceans of tears I can’t touch bottom I'm running out of air I'm going under Oh rescue me From these oceans of You Endless oceans of you And I am searching for a heart that’s true In these oceans of you Oceans of you Oceans of you Oceans of you Endless oceans of you And I am searching for a heart that’s true In these oceans of you Oceans of you

HEART TO HEART Words & Music by Renate Anne Daversa Tell me my son, can you see me beyond the stars? Am I living in your heart? Rescued by an angel, disguised as a child Did you know, you saved my life? Heart to heart, forever bound Heart to heart, we won’t make a sound Heart to heart, we’re on our way Through this unpromised land Until the day, you fly away Wherever you go, you know my heart goes with you Whatever you do, I will feel what you feel I will watch you, win and lose And then when it's all over I'll be waiting here… waiting here Heart to heart, forever bound Heart to heart, we won’t make a sound Heart to heart, one more day In this unpromised land Until the day you fly away Heart to heart, forever bound Heart to heart, we won’t make a sound Heart to heart, you’re on your way Through this unpromised land Heart to heart Beyond the day, I fly away

CUT AND DRIED Words & Music by Renate Anne Daversa Can you read my mind? If you could, you’d know I’m just killin’ time It’s pretty cut and dried Some kind of war But I’m not afraid to fight And I think it’s time to go I don’t want to say goodbye But I know it’s out of my control And what happens next Is cut and dried The news wasn’t good today It is what it is But is shouldn’t be this way It’s pretty cut and dried So much to talk about But nothing left to say And I know now it’s time to go I just gotta make it right Cause I can’t remember who I am Or what happens next It’s cut and dried I’ll wait for you I won’t leave you behind Silent dreams in black and white When we were on the same side The clock’s tick ticking And I can’t take it back We might be running out of time So sad but true It’s pretty cut, cut, cut and dried My thoughts are dark at night Watch your back Because your best friend’s got a knife It’s pretty cut and dried Justice is blinded When they come from either side And I know it’s time to go There’s nowhere left to hide For we each are held responsible For what happens next It’s cut and dried I’ll wait for you I won’t leave you behind Silent dreams in black and white When we were on the same side The clock’s tick ticking And I can’t take it back We might be running out of time So sad but true It’s pretty cut, cut, cut and dried

JUST ONE WORD Words & Music by Renate Anne Daversa Just one word To tell the world How I feel about you Dream about you I just can’t live without you Just one word So powerful… Sometimes I can’t breathe And it won’t matter where I am I’d give anything for one more chance To hear you say… Just one word And it’ll all be OK I know it’s hard To leave it behind Just one word Everything will be alright You make a wish And I’ll try not to cry You showed me a world Where love means love And I don’t have to be afraid In our little world There’s just the two of us 3 kids, 2 dogs, a guinea pig And all the love All the love All the love that we’ve made And it won’t matter where you are Just know tomorrow won’t be Quite as hard Please say… Just one word And it’ll all be OK Whisper my name And the world disappears Just one word And it’ll all fade away The hands of time Will wipe away your tears Just one word To tell the world How I feel about you Dream about you I just can’t live without you Just one word And it’ll all be OK Whisper my name And the world disappears Just one word Will make it all go away The hands of time Will wipe away your tears Just one word And it’ll all be OK Whisper my name And the world disappears Just one word And it will all fade away The hands of time Will wipe away your tears

Closer 03:26
CLOSER Words & Music by Renate Anne Daversa Where it begins is a sacred place Guarded intentions And the choices we make You’re not so naïve To believe Your deception wouldn’t matter This is where it begins… Tell me that story About those friends of yours And how they met with some regret Well, you know the rest Divided by silence And the words they can’t say The honeymoon’s over Nothing remains Where it begins is a sacred place Guarded forgiveness Of a single mistake I’m closer to you Than I’ve ever been to anyone Closer to you I want to be closer to you Please tell me the truth always Closer to you So here we stand Face-to-face Nothing to hide No mistakes to erase I’m closer to you, than I’ve ever been to anyone Closer to you I want to be closer to you Please tell me the truth always Closer to you

Firelight 03:36
FIRELIGHT Words & Musc by Renate Anne Daversa Musical contributions by Scott Williams & Hunter Wright Blue moon rising Darkness subsiding Firelight, but blind Above the rooftops, beyond the trailerparks, everywhere at once Why won't you believe? In something so real you just can't see it right now What's invisible, you cannot see Why won't you believe in Firelight? Their voices carry me away Another time another place Above the mountaintops, beyond the trailerparks, everywhere at once Why won't you believe? In something so real you just can't see it right now What's invisible, you cannot see Why won't you believe in Firelight?

THE UPSIDE DOWN Words & Music by Renate Anne Daversa Everything Is turned around Upside down confusing Try to recall All of the times Before the happy ending Appreciate Never too late To tell them that you love them No time to waste Do it today Tomorrow could be too late These are hard times… It’s not your turn Get back in line I want to go home When I close my eyes I’ll walk right through that door To the other side You gotta be strong You can’t break down Stand up straight In the upside down What to expect Will I be next I wonder if they’ll miss me Will I defend All of the times As I stand before me Try to believe What we can’t see Will somehow make a difference No time to waste Do it today Tomorrow could be too late It’s getting dark Follow the light Straight to my heart I want to go home When I close my eyes I’ll walk right through that door To the other side You gotta be strong You can’t back down When you face The faceless In the upside down These are hard times… Take a deep breath There’s still some time I want to go home When I close my eyes I’ll walk right through that door To the other side You gotta be strong You can’t back down Stand up straight In the upside down

Funny 03:40
FUNNY Words & Music by Renate Anne Daversa Right this way Please take your seat The show is about to begin The light’s so bright You’re blinded by it It’s hard to believe this is your life So you thought this time there were no survivors Just a broken heart left in pieces Turn your head Pretend not to see The way she looks at him Where were you The night she cried herself to sleep Funny these things Paradise Nowhere to hide Enter this crowded room The light’s so bright You’re blinded by it It’s hard to believe this is your life So you thought this time there were no survivors Just a broken heart left in pieces Two points of blue A tower of stone The hero a million miles away Close your mind Pretend not to hear The way she cries his name Where were you The night she cried herself to sleep Funny these things

Type A 03:26
TYPE A Words & Music by Renate Anne Daversa Is there a problem? I know I’m focused Some might say driven Ambition is my middle name I just can’t help it I was born this way Please forgive me I’m Type A all day It’s a bit of a burden It can be a gift Mostly a curse For those nearby Don’t be afraid You can always count on me You’ll get to know me I’m Type A all day I’m just being myself (A) I don’t know any other way (A) To be the best At being me I know what you’re gonna say I do my best Try to relax Live in the moment On this speeding train I promise I’ll change You know, I’ll find a way Cause remember I’m Type A all day I’m just being myself I don’t know any other way To be the best That I can be No excuses. No apologies Is there a problem? Some call it passion Laser beam focus on the road ahead I’m loyal to the end A forever friend I’m simply full of life I’m Type A all day I’m just being myself I don’t know any other way To be the best That I can be No regrets. No apologies

about

Hailing from a small island off the coast of Rhode Island, Ren has always been inspired by the sea, so it’s no surprise that her first solo record would be titled “Saltwater”. Released on October 1, 2018, this album represents her debut as both solo artist and producer. Recorded at the Grey Brick Studios in San Diego, CA, Saltwater is a musical and lyrical interpretation of love, struggle, enlightenment and strength. Nine finely-crafted acoustic pop tracks that showcase this unique artist’s songwriting, arrangement, vocal and harmony skills.
