Emmett, the two songs she sings with Lucas who did the music for the Mysterious World of Birds play. "Take A While" & "Coming Down". Both on TMWOB EP from 2003 and Lucas album Pieced From Faded Memory from 2005.
She played a woman called Karen in the play. Also theres a photocopied handwritten slip on paper in it with the following on it;

There's always a great love for a while - there's
always perfection and balance and dreams and
opening and opening and opening up all feathers
flown to see to show. The birds she sent him,
they tracked him down, they flew his way like
kisses, like a soft smooth hand sliding down
his cheek, down his back. The envelopes brown
and decent, the address sprawled in black
???? joints as smooth as her hair just
dried. Early as he blinked, eyes crusted from
some sleeping drink, he would wake into a
harsh light harsh hotel harsh land full of
people with their hands out - and there, slid
under his door, the envelope he's secretly
been murmuring for. All late last night he
prayed to his pint - he prayed for a sigh, for
a signature, for her lines to draw his name
across a page. There under door slipped
towards him, there laughing in the air above
him, there pressed to his lips in search of
her smell, there his hands pulled back the
paper to reveal this bird she sent - blue
or red or yellow - and he repeated whispered
vows, and he wondered "how's my wife?"
And the game they always played it's now
so serious so far away. Their game: secrets
keep hearts beating. Husband and wife, lost
and found, they had the secret mysterious
reminded by birds in brown envelopes,
birds joining lovers thoughts, singing lovers
songs, our mysterious world of birds.

Come home soon.

Love -
