lyrics

I watched you from a distance and your pseudo lover's stare
I saw your look of hopefulness you pressed your palm against your hair
I saw the smile you flashed at me when we were lovers young
I rose above the misery and bit hard on my tongue

I drew myself away from you pledged never to return
Affection thrown so easily on someone else's turf
Just like the old time wildwood flower did finally dance and sing
Each chance I gave, each chance you took, is water through a sieve

So bear me on now to one more if that in my future lay
I'll harken to another's call and scribble on another slate
Forgiveness is a noble path and to its way I'm loyal
Forgetting is another task; I'm beholden to its toil

So harken! soft melodic sounds they flirt and dance away
I'll sing the song I sang upon my mother's last birthday

I have her smile I'll loop her song forever in my ear
Her day now passed onto death, her song now a whisper
So harken, Soft melodic sounds to dancing memories
I hear my momma's lullaby crooning me to sleep
I hear my momma's lullaby crooning me to sleep

Bye oh Baby buntin' Papa's gone a hunting, Bye oh Baby buntin....

about

Dinah Cincinnati, Ohio

When the world overwhelms me music is my best friend. I give voice to my frustration and hopelessness for environmental and social issues which I think are inextricably linked. An occasional happy song springs forth as well. Track 4 was written when my daughters announced their engagements. I hope you can be soothed if you happen to arrive here. Thank you for listening. ... more
