lyrics

May you wake by a brook
Where the sun is newly rising
Find the path by the water
To a quiet space of green
And as you reach for the hands that await you
May you wonder at the wonders
That my eyes have never seen

And if I meet you in my dreams, perhaps you'll tell me
About the colors of the stars when they were born
Or where they stood aligned the night their light befell me
And called your spirit down to touch the shore

May you laugh like a bell
In the silver dawn delighting
Through the peaks and the pillars of the sky
And for your joy, may you know, just like believing
All the love the world has ever learned
Or ever dared to try

And if I glimpse you in the high clouds racing over
In the dapple of a sunlit afternoon
I will lie upon the sun-adoring clover
And watch until the rising of the moon

May you grow like a dandelion
Someplace wild and full of light
With only wind enough
To make you strong
And although you will not know the reason
Go and listen in the evening
For the blackbird and her song

And if I see you in the street, perhaps I'll know you
Behind your strange, familiar, luminous disguise
And we may pass within a hand's breadth of each other
With one bewildered flicker of our eyes

Summer Russell recommends:

Lauren Oxford
by Lauren Oxford

I could listen to Lauren sing forever. Her writing is vivid and sensitive, sweetly and painfully human--never apologizing for sharp corners and rough edges. The beauty of her spirit shines through. Summer Russell

It's funny, I wouldn't say Cathy is a favorite artist, but I do have a lot of her stuff. Even though she sings about fantasy & esoteric things, I feel it. I think everyone can relate. TimTTT
