Of the last grain of sand in a world made by wishing. For Douglas.
lyrics
Make a wish
Take your time
Give any name to what you find
Come to me
My loving unbeliever
I was never superstitious
But if I had the choice
I'd call the court magicians
To show you in the mirror
To speak in your own voice
Make a wish
Take your time
Give any name to what you find
Stay and see
What wakes before the dreamer
All worlds have their beginnings
Some stories have no end
Some stars will tear the velvet sky
To fall into the ocean
And still some songs may mend
And all we have cradled
And all we have crushed
And all we have loved into diamonds or dust
It is here in the void on these pages
The last grain of sand in Fantasia
Make a wish
Take your time
Give any name to what you find
Come to me
My loving unbeliever
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
Hi Talis! I heard you sing this on your song swap with Piers, I absolutely love it and in fact I am nicking it to be the first song I learn to play with my new CONCERTINA. V appropriate for a sailor’s song. I promise it won’t be a shanty when I’m done. bohemiancoast
I first heard Cathy and fell in love with her music in filk circle at a con. This album perfectly recreates the feeling of that environment. All the songs on the album are fantastic, highlighting Cathy’s pure and warm vocals and guitar. Kevin Heard
