about

written on a sweet O-18 purchased from a friend, whose late wife owned and played the guitar. her voice, her words...

lyrics

speak to me now I wish you would/I've lived on the mountain on the song of birds/I ache to answer you from out of the wood/so much to tell so much I’ve heard//I’m hidden here beyond the red/mix black with blue is what you get/spirit’s kind dream in a buried kiss/music found by the dowser’s fingertips//wake me now in the wood/singing always made me feel so good/wake me now in the wood & wire/voice coming down the line rising up in heart’s desire//never has so little meant so very much/feel my pulse quicken beneath your fingers’ touch/dawn sweeps across the chosen sky/so much goes on beyond the human eye// you remember my raven hair/all the times I was always there/you don’t know how much I've cried to see my children grow/to tell them all the things they need to know//you know the way of the bone/cleaned by wind wind blows through on its own /what you left gets gathered by the breeze/sweet flute notes flutter beautifully//wake me now…//like the cage around the bird/the lamp around the genie/eclipse between the moon and you/the ache round what you mean to me//I’ve waited for darkened rooms/stars above quiet song below/a bit of mist between frozen tears/one little verse in the slumbering mahogany//wake me slowly now and do it kind/touch me gently tip of
finger on lid of eye/kind of chilly now but I don’t mind/been sleeping here for a long long time
