"Tell My Sister" lyrics
"Tell My Sister"
(originally by Kate & Anna McGarrigle)
Weather man on the radio
Threatens rain, maybe snow
He just forecasts, he don't know
I need blue skies, I've got to go
I'm not a cowboy
I've never been shot
I'm not a convict
I've never been caught
Tell my sister
To tell my mother
I'm coming home
Home, alone
Sunday morning
I boarded a plane
Leaving London, England
In the pouring rain
Tell my sister
To tell my mother
I'm coming home
Home, alone
Someday I'll be back again
To that green and pleasant land
Between the Channel and the sea
Across the ocean, that's where I want to be
But until then
Tie me to the ground
I've got to let these weary bones rest
From all that runnin' around
Tell my sister
To tell my mother
I'm coming home
Home, alone

Emmylou Harris - "Here, There And Everywhere" Here making each day of the year
Changing my life with one wave of his hand
Nobody can deny that there's something there
There running my hands thru his hair
Both of us thinking how good it can be...
Patti Smith - "Dancing Barefoot" She is benediction
She is addicted to thee
She is the root connection
She is connecting with he
Here I go and I don't know why
I fell so ceaselessly
Could it be he's taking over me...
I'm dancing...
Iris DeMent - "Going Down To Sing In Texas" I'm going down to sing in Texas where anybody can carry a gun
But we will all be so much safer there, the biggest lie under the sun
Go ahead and shoot me if it floats your little boat
But I'll live...
Tindersticks - "Both Sides Of The Blade" To understand the choices made
To be falling down both sides
The sun is cold, its light unfair
And I'm falling down both sides
And I hear that song
Of those who loved
And I'm falling down both...
Ane Brun - "Always On My Mind" Maybe I didn't treat you
Quite as good as I should've
Maybe I didn't love you
Quite as often as I could've
Little things I should've said and done
I just never took the time
But you were always on...
