Wing to Wing
04:08
|

Is it true
We have to be alone
On our own, to be free
Is it wrong to wonder
What it'd be like, to fly
Wing to wing
There's a power
In choosing words
There's a power
In turning away
Oh but out here at the edge of the sky
I've just got pictures, in my mind
I may have
Smothered some seeds
In the ground, with tears and desire
And I may have let the darkness
Of disappointment, nearly put out my fire
But each season has its own surprises
And the storm clouds might
Just give way to the sun ---
Am I crazy, again
Or am I just human?

Child of God

I went back - home again
I was searching for something
I was running - from the world
I was seeking comfort.
I went back - to the beginning
I went back to my roots
I went back to the land
Of bitter fruit.
And I know I - should have known better
Than to look so long - in vain
I just kept walking, in circles
Through the fog - and the rain
Through the fog and the rain.
Well there's fire - and there's water
And sometimes you gotta choose
What is your heart's - true desire
What are you not wiling to lose
Now I hear - voices on the wind
Saying "Wake up, from the dream"
Saying "You are, a child of god -
You were born - free "
You were born free.

Desert Plain
04:18
|
|||
|
To dwell - on the border
Can be a way of life
Borders keep changing-
So you learn to travel light
And if you meet another out there
Who matches your flame
Full of tender desire
And no promises to break -
You just take - what you need
And you give - what you can
And you rest - for a moment
In the language you know you both best understand.
Stranger, like a brother, like a lover, like a friend
Stranger, like a brother, like a lover, like a friend
When you've walked - through fire
Only the core of you remains
A wide open heart can become
A desert plain
But what if we just let love fall down on us
Like a gentle rain?
Give those flowers, forgotten there, a chance to bloom again
Give those flowers, forgotten there, brand new names
Stranger, like a brother, like a lover, like a friend
Stranger, like a brother, like a lover, like a friend

Hidden Gems
04:14
|
|||
|
Strands of sunlight falling through
Tangled Cedar limbs
Always a door just in view
I know I must open --
Walking through a pink sky
Leaving the past behind
Things I thought were standing still
Have been moving all this time --
Beyond the wall, beyond the wars
Beyond the scars, beyond words --
What if love's just an intersection
On our journey as souls ?
What if I only have more questions
When I get to where I'm going --
Sounds of water passing over
Stacks of ancient stones
Remember, no matter how it seems
We're never all alone --
Beyond the walls, beyond the wars
Beyond the scars, beyond words
I'm still using my night vision
Still looking for - hidden gems.

Dog Star

Will the Dog Star
Come back to us?
In it's proper season, time
And place
Will the locusts sing their wild lullaby
Just as sure as night follows day
Will I step out of my silence?
Will I walk into the chaos --
Will I let myself look - beyond the loss
Maybe like a river seeking
The limits of the land
We don't remember the beginning
And forget -- about the end
Wonder where love will lead me now
Wonder where love will lead me now
Wonder where love will lead me now
Wonder where love will lead me now

Higher Power
03:23
|
|||
|
When you break apart
You break open
Doesn't have to mean
You're broken --
Put my faith
In a higher power
Found the nucleus
Of my desire
Learned you can't transmute it
Til you've owned it, first
And the crows
Drop from the trees
Into endless, fields of green --
I accept the beauty
I accept the pain
Will that mean someday
I'll be free ?
And the crows
Drop from the trees
Into endless, fields of green

Mountain Spring
05:06
|
|||
|
Bubbling from the mountain spring
Old wounds, new love
Shifting in the dying light
Will I recognize my reflection ?
Cut away, cut away
See what I've become
Don't look away, don't look away
From what's been done
It's never over, it's never enough
We're just layer, upon layer of love --
Dancing in the winter fire
Old dreams, new visions
Angels, Demons, Red-tail Hawks
Keep on circling, the roads unchosen
A sister told me, she said "Sometimes -
to find your way back out again - You
gotta go deeper, you gotta go - further in"
It never ends, it never ends, it's never enough --
We're just layer, upon layer, of love --
We're just layer, upon layer, of love --

Another Country
04:30
|
|||
|
There's been something beautifully fierce
About our love so far
The lows have sunk me lower
But the highs have let me soar
And I know if you could
You'd help me find, what I'm still looking for --
Now is this where life meets art?
At the crossing of our hearts
Where the dawning day lights up
Two paths, instead of one
And when you hold me tight
It's like being in another country
When you let me go, will you let me
Cross the ocean
Is it wrong, is it right
The broken wing still tries to fly
And in the shadows of time passing
What will we choose to see--
Wild geese in flight
Or the owl at night
Wild gees in flight
Or the owl at night --
They say matter follows spirit -
There is no other way
And the river shapes the land
By what it takes away
When you hold me tight
It's like being in another country
And when you let me go
Will you let me cross the ocean --

Bow and Arrow Days

Even if he wasn't my sweetie I would still love this record. Experience the fascinating landscape of Feathered Mason's creative genius.

On My Page
by Courtney Marie Andrews
supported by 4 fans who also own “Angels, Demons, Red-Tail Hawks”
I think this may well be CMA's best album, certainly the best of her early material. Every song is just so powerful and it's stripped down to the bone -- just her voice and a guitar most of the time. If you're a CMA fan, this is essential.

A concept album where meteorology is a metaphor for anxiety, the new one from timing is artful indie at its finest.
