  1. Summer Garden

From the recording Album - Lady of the Fountain

Spring sat heavy under the cedar tree, a change of seasons for the waxwings, bluets and me....

Lyrics

And in the melting snow you say where did time go?
And in the anxious wind it all comes back again
Beneath the canopy morning wakes the mystery
Under the quilted sky, the place where shadows fly

The sky can be like sapphires the whole world like emeralds
The moon upon one hand sails across the dawn again
And in a poet’s blight somewhere in the darkest night
I can’t sleep for dreaming, I can’t sleep for dreaming

And then I open the window
And the breeze so filled with promise
For the day is born across my summer garden
hurray!

I heard it clearly, it pierced right through me
My history weaving a postcard to my door
My face against the glass, watching the season pass
Wrap the vine around again, whisper winter’s end

And then I open the window
And the breeze so filled with promise
For the day is born across my summer garden
hurray!

Teach us kindness, Teach us peace
Teach us compassion, teach us belief
I’ve been a raincloud, I’ve been a river
I’ve been an ocean, I’ve been delivered
