And Time 03:28
It’s the summertime Best you’ll ever be Don’t waste your time away, time ain’t for free Dream your bad times away like a cloud, like a daydream Don’t waste your time away, time ain’t for free Close your eyes and the moment’s gone Sun sits low as the nights grow long Witness the seasons drop in line Fall on through another year in time Summertime: In the Summertime Summertime: Life was a breeze It was the summertime Best there’ll ever be An old man said that his clearest mind was in the summertime Summertime: In the Summertime Summertime: Life was a breeze

Hey, Wait 03:51
Hey, wait, you look so tired Wait, hey, so far gone Hey, wait, can you force a smile, when you live a life uphill? Day after day – a love sits quiet Day after day – a love so still Wish I could know what stirs inside you Hey, wait, what’s in your mind? Wait, hey, what’s in the bottom drawer? Do you keep a perfect secret? Are you evening up the score? Day after day – a love sits quiet Day after day – a love so still Wish I could know what stirs inside you Used to be in someone’s arms - Used to be somewhere to run Used to be in someone’s arms - Used to be somewhere to run Hey Wait A love sits quiet A love so still Used to be Used to be somewhere to run Used to be in someone’s arms Used to be somewhere to run Hey Wait: Used to be in someone’s arms Hey Wait: Used to be somewhere to run Hey Wait: Used to be in someone’s arms Used to be somewhere to run

Woven 03:51
Travel and you’ll see the signs Before, before you Unravel all these things of mine It becomes, it becomes you Castles stand and rivers wind To the sea that’s below you Waves of blue rushing over you Can you see the signs? Can you tell what is mine? You’re woven in these things of mine It’s sign, before you Pull it only makes it shine Pull on yours, pull on mine Waves of blue rushing over you Can you see the signs? Can you tell what is mine? When the world falls off its hinge and your mind is wearing thin As you shelter in your place turn around and feel the waves Waves of blue rushing over you Can you see the signs? Can you tell what is mine? I see waves of green rushing in between I can see the signs I can tell that you’re mine

If I thought I could change your mind Bring back the lights that shined Well, I felt quite alone that day And it’s hard for me to say “That’s my sole regret” “That’s my own sorrow” If I thought I could change your mind Take a look and you will find That that’s my sole regret That’s my own sorrow But reality hit me in the eyes But reality has hit me in the eyes Had a thought that it could change Tried to make a clearer way But the words I hear you say I don’t think that it can change Had a thought that it could change Tried to make a clearer way But the words I hear you say I don’t think that it can change Had a thought I could change your mind About a girl that I left behind Fore it’s plain to see Things are better this way Better this way. Better this way.

Over Easy 03:38
You wish it wasn’t over, but it looks like it is Try to straighten up your shoulders, from that kick in the ribs And I can tell you honey “you’re gonna be alright” And I call tell you baby “it’s gonna be alright” And maybe it will Now you look to me for comfort, well what can I do I can mix you up a cocktail, or I can play you the blues Or I can tell you honey “it’s gonna be alright” And I call tell you baby “it’s gonna be alright” Baby, do you ever wonder why I’m always there for you? One day, maybe it gonna hit you That I am the one honey it’s gonna be alright honey it’s gonna be alright Baby, do you ever wonder why I’m always there for you? One day, maybe it gonna hit you That I am the one I’m glad that’s over, even if you’re not I’m only getting older, I’m gonna take my shot I’m gonna grab you honey and treat you right And you can call me “baby” even just for one night And maybe we will

Woodwork 03:36
Fix your hair, pack your wares, you’re leaving Not a care, anywhere, this evening You can tell this one yes, you can turn this one down, no reason You’ve found your own way to turn God’s gift into freedom The heat of the day, you can sleep it away Lay your head, on a bed, by the sea Watch the day turn to dusk as the breeze stirs the dust Watch the day turn into dusk Fix your hair, pack your wares, you’re leaving Not a care, anywhere, this evening You can tell this one yes, you can turn this one down, no reason You’ve found your own way to turn God’s gift into freedom Night is the time, with senses alive It’s the time to take what they’ve got See the world on your terms, pick and choose who to turn It’s all there, for a girl at the top In and out of the woodwork again Falling in and out of the woodwork again The heat of the day, you can sleep it away Lay your head, on a bed, by the sea Watch the day turn to dusk as the breeze stirs the dust Watch the day turn into dusk Come out Come out Of the woodwork

Some are named for flowers Some for passing trends She was named for summer ‘cause she followed spring Nearby the wind chimes: Near Some are named for flowers Some for passing trends She was named for summer ‘cause she followed spring Nearby the wind chimes: Near Step through the garden path Unlock the gate, yeah I’m gonna meet you Inside a lilting laugh Calls from the room in back I’m gonna meet you Some are named for flowers Some for passing trends She was named for summer ‘cause she followed spring Outside the stars shine: Clear Nearby the wind chimes: Near Walk past the songbird bath Up to the screen door Inside a lilting laugh Calls from the room in back I’m gonna meet you

Witch's Tree 03:50
Hedge of stones, standing alone - Lining the Witch’s Tree Lay you down, head on the ground - Watching the Witch’s Tree Look and see I’ll take your word for it Climb that tree Don’t want another disease Look at me I wanna run for it On your knees Hedge of stones, standing alone - Lining the Witch’s Tree Lay you down, head on the ground - Watching the Witch’s Tree Look and see I’ll take your word for it Climb that tree Don’t want another disease Look at me I wanna run for it On your knees Closer you stand there the stiller the air is This is the Witch’s Tree Cracks in the pavement, stand through the ages Take in the Witch’s Tree Past is forgotten, now a notch in A branch on the Witch’s Tree Notches for others, lost at the crossroads Marked by the Witch’s Tree (Look and see, Climb that tree, Look at me) Stand alone, draw near and you’ll see Closer you stand there, the stiller the air is This is the Witch’s Tree Cracks in the pavement, stand through the ages Take in the Witch’s Tree Past is forgotten, now a notch in A branch on the Witch’s Tree Notches for others, lost at the crossroads Marked by the Witch’s Tree

Chimney 03:55
Stare into the hearth Evening into dark as ashes and embers fold Tread on no one’s trail Some ships only sail into harbors that welcome none Kindle an open flame Footsteps on a path Cut in through the grass to a clearing that no one knows Kindle an open flame Chimney sits above Ashes on the rug from a fire that no one tends Kindle an open flame Kindle an open flame From the north, with the horseman’s knot From the sea with Eurasian pox From the north, with the horseman’s knot From the sea with Eurasian pox From the north, with the horseman’s knot From the sea with Eurasian pox Stare into the hearth Evening into dark as ashes and embers fold Chimney sits above Ashes on the rug from a fire a worn man tends Kindle an old man’s flame

With fading sunlight, you undress yourself Lavender sequins I’ve got a name for you Wisteria (you) Wisteria (bloom) Steadfast and patient thought the winter’s cruel Surrounds are barren I’ll give a name to you Wisteria (you) Wisteria (bloom) It’s only natural To seed and to see that the bees see what they want in you Your twining’s structural I’ve got a name, I gotta name you Wisteria (you) Wisteria (bloom) Now days are warming and the sun sits high (Wisteria) Stretched out and open I’ve got a name for you Wisteria (you) Wisteria (bloom) Wisteria (you) Wisteria (bloom) I’ve got a name for you

about

"Annum" is the debut album from A Doll’s House. Produced by Brian Wheat (co-founder of the American rock band Tesla), the album is perhaps best described as “chill rock.” Contagious grooves and melodies coupled with true musicianship and honed harmonies, "Annum" is a refreshing contemporary rock album with pop appeal. The title "Annum" (Latin for “year”) derives from the last four tracks of the album, which loosely chart the course of a year through the seasons, "Steps to Summer", "Witch’s Tree", "Chimney", "Wisteria".

"Hey, Wait", the first single from A Doll’s House debut album, "Annum", is emblematic of the band’s “chill rock” sound. Produced by Brian Wheat, a contagious groove and honed harmonies tell of a woman who now “lives a life uphill” remembering when “there used to be somewhere to run.” "Hey, Wait" has been picked up by AAA radio stations across the country.

"Over Easy" is the second single from A Doll’s House debut album, "Annum". The track and album were produced by Brian Wheat of Tesla. Over Easy is emblematic of the band’s “chill rock” sound and tells the story of a woman, who, while confiding in a friend about a breakup -- “that kick in the ribs” -- is about to find out something unexpected about her friend.
