Springtime Called
03:01

I imagine you, playing in the foyer
I imagine you, running cross the room
Feet in double time, birds nest in your hand
Something you might trust, I would understand
Spring called said she wished she could be here
Sends her best, couldn’t come around this year
Something came up
Had to call it off
Something came up
Halo curls of moonlight fly across your forehead
Lit up like a light bright cherub cheeks of red
I imagine you playing make believe
Mama’s on the back porch, you’re begging not to leave
You’re begging not to leave
Paper cranes are strung up
Higher than the tree tops
Swinging from a hammock
Daylight in your hand
Your whimsy works her wonder
Farewell the dark and thunder
Leaning through my window, crocus in your hand
Leaning through my window, crocus in your hand
Spring time called, said she wished she could be here
Sends her best

Porch Party

Oh, you're alright
All is well, and all is fine
Let your weary heart rest on this rhyme
Every being is well in time in time
Every being is well in time
In struts the dark, I thought I'd maybe leave him on a lark
I'd stare him down and stuff him full of stars
So you can stand down and rest your weary heart
You can stand down and rest your weary heart
In runs the night, she'll wring and writhe and try to steal your light
Pour you up a cozy cup of fright
I'm here to tell you even rain will be right
Here to tell you even rain will be right
Oh, we're gonna get through it
Oh, if only you knew it
The winter is long but our hearts are full of song
Reminding us what is never gone
Oh, reminding us what is never gone
In comes the squeeze
She'll stress you out and bring you to your knees
Steal the honey and let out all the bees
Set down your mind and lean into the ease
Oh set down your mind and lean into the ease
Oh, you're alright
All is well, and all is fine
Let your weary heart rest on this rhyme
Every being is well in time in time
Every being is well in time
Every being is well in time in time
Every being is well in time

When You Least Expect
03:23
|
|

In between your jokes, and up amongst your eyes
We see the whimsy, You may not realize
We've been revising, we've been surmising
Plain as day it's no surprise
Love can grow when you least expect
No need to redirect or deflect
Side by side, two pairs of weary loving eyes
Couldn't hide it if you tried
Singing in the kitchen, everybody listening
Had a pretty strong suspicion
Storytelling was crafty, we just couldn't be deceieved
Too clear to all, what we could see
Love can grow when you least expect
No need to redirect or deflect
Side by side, two pairs of weary loving eyes
Couldn't hide it if you tried
You tell us brilliant, witty little fables
Tallest stories at that old oak table
Don't get us wrong, it seems you're right where you belong
But oh, my oh, my oh
How we knew it all along
Love can grow when you least expect
No need to redirect or deflect
Side by side, two pairs of weary loving eyes
Couldn't hide it if you tried
If you tried

Too Early

Is it too early, to say I love you
Is it too early, to tell you that I care
Too early, to hear your sweet secrets
I won't share them round I swear
Is it too early, to say I see you
Is it too early, to ask to braid your hair
Too early, to show up on your front porch
And see if you've any time to spare
Well we only met you just yesterday
And out of trouble, we just can't seem to stay
There's a hole in my heart, joy won't stop pouring out
It's been a sweet time loving you this way
Is it too early, to call you my sister
Is it too early, to call this a love
Too early, to make plans for tomorrow
Well golly gosh gee I hope not
Well we only met you just yesterday
And out of trouble, we just can't seem to stay
There's a hole in my heart, joy won't stop pouring out
It's been a sweet time loving you this way
It's been a sweet time loving you this way

Fancy Machine
03:14
|
|

|
If I was alone, I'd live out at sea
If I was alone, I'd bake bread just for me
If I was alone, I'd wake up on my own
Drink my coffee without cream
Get rid of that fancy machine
If I had a love, we'd be together all the time
Sit together in the evening, and share a glass of wine
If I had a love, we'd fight all the time
I can be awfully stubborn, most of the time
But it sure is nice, coming home to you
But is sure is nice, waking up next to you
When the movie's over, sweep my ashes from the floor
I can look back and say, how I had it all my way
I'd rather look back say, she was with me all the way

Our Mountain Home

Goodbye to my little cabin mountain home
I won't miss your silty water
Or the constant crushing cold
I fought her all four seasons
I loved her anyway
Goodbye my little cabin
I must be on my way
She was drifty she was drafty
We hung blankets in the hall
Discovered when we measured
How crooked were her walls
Warmed up with oven
Put hot stones inside our beds
When it snowed in the winter
We brought groceries in on sleds
I can't believe I'm saying this
We're moving into town
Crank the heat as high's the landlord will allow
When our feet hit the ground
We'll look for wages all around
Goodbye my little cabin
I must be on my way
Living off the grid in our lakeside mountain home
Streaming through the window
Sacred alpenglow
Hummingbirds arrived in April
Through the summer they would stay
Goodbye my little cabin
I must be on my way
I can't believe I'm saying this
We're moving into town
Crank the heat as high's the landlord will allow
When our feet hit the ground
We'll look for wages all around
Goodbye my little cabin
I must be on my way

Susie's Song
03:30
|
|

|
Bedwell's shores are cold and still
Muddy banks have long to fill
Layers of the day, at last float away
As they tend to do
As they tend to do
Just below forbidden plateau
Faithful boardwalk gives and freezes o'er
Unraveling autumn streams, cozy ice takes hold
We rewrite what we know
Oh we rewrite what we know
Oo-oo
Oo-oo, oo
Oo-oo
Oo-oo, oo
Light cracks through the boardwalk's winter chill
Sleepy floorboards stir awake from still
We find a quiet love that's never gone
Timber-framed in simple mountain song
Timber-framed in simple mountain song
Oo-oo
Oo-oo, oo
Oo-oo
Oo-oo, oo
Far off noise gives way to nearby streams
Wingbacked melody return to streams
Humming through an ancient heirloom song
Oh how we wished you'd never gone
But how we've known it all along
Oo-oo
Oo-oo, oo

Down the Road
03:19

Smile and style and fly so free
Slicing through the sky with ease
Best friend caught you by your knees
All good when we fly trapeze
Put on your glitter for the matinee
You can get warmed up next to these bails of hay
You'll catch me man, you got me right?
Hold me as we both take flight
Here today, gone tomorrow
Down the road
Here today, gone tomorrow
Down the road, all you've ever known
Coffee on my trailer stoop
Fake eyelashes before noon
Tiny shorts and big hair too
Chalky wrists and sequined toe shoes
City to country, hall to hall
Tents and trailers, wall to wall
Rhinestones always falling off
You're caked in rosin, chalk and dust
Here today, gone tomorrow
Down the road
Here today, gone tomorrow
Down the road, all you've ever known
Set up tear down, all day long
Holding down the tent when the winds get strong
Full twist layout we can throw it
Fame is weeks away we know it
The real world whizzes by
Jobs and families nine to five
This life it pulled you by the reins
Now you've got sawdust in your veins
This life it pulled you by the reins
Now you've got sawdust in your veins
Here today, gone tomorrow
Down the road
Here today, gone tomorrow
Down the road, all you've ever known

Don't hesitate. Mindblowing delightful and of unimagined grandeur in all its condensation, naiveté, and deliberate reduction of means.

Rivers and Vessels
by Joan Shelley
supported by 4 fans who also own “Field Notes”
The sweetness of the harmony and beauty of the tracks made me have to purchase this album. The vocals float like ethereal sprites with compelling warmness yet a certain captivating sadness as well. This is what Americana should sound like... this is what country should sound like... for it's so real and emotionally delivered... yet absolutely gorgeous.
