about

The first of my new self-recorded/engineered songs, I couldn't be more proud of the final form. This song is very special to me in that it was one of my first songs penned mid-pandemic, that felt I was returning to some measure of “normal”, rather than fixed on the heavy intensity of the days.
It has a personal depth and story but in a hopeful voice.
Thank you for listening! Share it with a friend!

lyrics

a spark of time when joy was easy
angel lit the tree like so many seasons

our head among the clouds rise to the light 
a sense of home even when we put up a fight

 horses run free 
hooves aflutter 
winter slowly swims away

set our worries on the shelf
 fade our bitter side
 til we need not remember

day grows longer Into spring
 waiting on the night 
and delight of summer rain

horses run free
 hooves aflutter 
winter slowly swims away

shining light across the sea
 salt spray ... cloaking every wave
twirling bonfire luminesce 
sparks climb and kiss the stars again

horses run free
 hooves aflutter
 winter slowly swims away

horses run free
hooves aflutter
winter fades away

a spark of time
 when joy was easy
angel lit the tree
 like so many seasons
