Inspired by The Lord of the Rings. Frodo's farewell to Sam at the Grey Havens.
lyrics
Wind is in the east, across the water
Grey the waves that softly seek the harbor
There a white ship waits to bear me far away
Far beyond the old wounds and the dwindling day
And in your eyes
That see they cannot follow
Sorrow takes hold
My friend, I know
But silver on the hills, the rain returning
Golden light upon the face of morning
Green has come again, and soon the flowers grow
Spare a loving hand to help them as they go
And in your eyes
I see the years run onward
Long with a love
That overflows
Stand with me, to look awhile together--
Night was deep, but morning shines forever
We are meant to live, and will be whole again
And I will carry, far as any heart can wend,
What your eyes
In all their kindness show
I know now, my friend
It has no end.
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

This is a wonderful recording. For a live recording the quality is amazing. The vocal balance with voice and piano is perfect. I very much enjoyed the stories between the songs, they enriched the meaning of the songs. Anyone who is interested in mythology and a wonderful story teller who does so with music, this is for you Kathleen SLOAN
