Another from Emmy

[MyNameIsAugustWest]

Emmylou is the whole package...

Beautiful, voice of an angel, fantastic writer. I've met Bonnie Raitt and Susan Tedeschi but I've never even seen Emmylou live. I need to fix that.

I love Red Dirt Girl. Here's a great cover by First Aid Kit.

In this nape of the woods neck of the well you know, always liked this song.

8/10/82 was my fav version.

And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance.
I hope you dance... I hope you dance...

There's a live acoustic version--guitar and mandolin--that I like better but it's hard to make out some of the lyrics on it.

[frorider]

I think of this whenever I dip into the Divorce thread.



Weighted down by possessions
Weighted down by the gun
Waited down by the river for you to come

My darling, you're darning my action
Of when three months, I was gone
But whose socks were you darning, darling
While I been gone so long?

Weighted down by possessions
Weighted down by the gun
Waited down by the river for you to come

A best friend to your ear of true said I was guilty of sin
Said my being gone was the best thing for you
But the truth, it all comes through for me and my kin
It wasn't the best thing for me but was the best for him

Weighted down by decision
Weighted down by the gun
Waited down by the river for you to come

Weighted down by possessions
Weighted down by the gun
Waited down by the river for you to come

While I sat there wondering, you thought that eyes were hid
And I had the honor of watching everything you did
So now I come with words of pain to bring you news of life
If you can't find your woman, don't take another's wife

Waiting down by possessions
Waiting down with a gun
Waiting down by the river for you to come

[The Tortoise]

This one gets me every time.

Change, like the wind
Like the water, like skin
Change, like the sky
Like the leaves, like a butterfly

Would you live forever, never die
While everything around passes by?
Would you smile forever, never cry,
While everything you know passes?

Death’s like a door to a place we’ve never been before
Death, like space, the deep sea, a suitcase
Would you stare forever at the sun,
Never watch the moon rising?
Would you walk forever in the light,
To never learn the secret of the quiet night?

Still, like a stone, like a hill, like home
Still, what I find, is you are always on my mind
Could I feel happy for you when I hear you talk with her like we used to?
Could I set everything free when I watch you holding her the way you once held me?
Change, like the sky, like the leaves, like a butterfly.
Death, like a door to a place we’ve never been before.

Would you live forever, never die, while everything around passes?
Would you smile forever, never cry?

One more song about movin' along the highway
Can't say much of anything that's new
If I could only work this life out my way
I'd rather spend it bein' close to you

[Core Shot]

One more song about movin' along the highway

That was nice. Love that song.
