about

Portrait of a knight quixotic. The result of a songwriting challenge, it was drawn from a bag of random words and set to a random chord progression.

lyrics

Bright against the autumn skies
upon a green and stony rise
a nimble knight is mounted
on a steed of wire and slate
no fear of falling knows him
The court of clouds and poets chose him
for that sheer, mad bravery
that oversees his fate
The waltzer greets the gallery
Of grey geese down below
Then bows and turns to serenade
The flowers row on row
meticulously moving there
a maiden fair envisioning
in this hour the air is gold
and dusted deep with memory
He dances with a lady
while the brindled hound beside him
Recalls the scent of tulips
scarcely faded with the seasons

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
