lyrics

If I were a willow, I would sway with every breeze
Keep you shaded from the heat
Let you rest below my leaves
And if I were a songbird, I’d be perched up on that tree
I’d be singing to you darling
Always crooning, always calling to thee

If I were a flower in a field of honey bees
I’d keep my pollen up my sleeves
For only you could have my sweets
And if I were a river, so calm and moved with ease
Let you glide in past the knees
Cool your skin within my stream

If I were a morning, I’d be quiet, soft and still
Lift the fog and early chill
Let you wake at your own will
And if I were an evening, filled with wine and company
Or solitude and tea
Would you like to stay with me?

I’m so grateful this crossed my path. This album is so beautiful. All the clear technique and mastery and vision are kinda secondary to the fact that this album brought me calm and joy during one of the most difficult times in my life. Yeah, grateful. David McCullough

Her voice, the vulnerability within, and a glorious sound, not overproduced but natural. 'Tender Heart' gets me - resonates in a way that is sad and glorious simultaneously. Discordant guitars behind a clean acoustic and voice ballad. Love her voice, her lyrics. Great album. BikeBoy29
