lyrics

I know they say the world is round
But i don’t know if its true
I walked a line, no turning back
And i cant get back to you

There was a girl
She was a carpenter
Built another ark
Now theres no one left to go
So she floods another heart

I thought she'd let me see a world I’ve never known
Let me rest with nowhere left id want to go
And let me walk her the road to Santiago
But i never thought she'd let me go

Once i thought the you were the one
Now i don’t know what to do
Our love was jut tender spark
Now I’m burning down for you

There was a boy, he was a sailor
Took a journey in the dark
But for him, the wind wouldn’t blow
So he dashed against the rocks

I thought id let him see the world id never shown
Let him rest with nowhere left he'd want to go
Let him walk me down the isle to Santiago
But i never thought id let him go

I used to think when i was young
That a debt of love was due
That someone owed or at least would loan me
A heart when they were through

There was a girl she was fable
A fairy in the trees
There was a boy his magic was able
To lure her from her dreams

I thought you'd let me see the world id never known
Let me rest inside the garden we had sewn
I always knew Santiago
But I always thought id let you go

Easy On My Mind
by Kelley McRae

It's a great Americana mood album. I played a show and camped with this duo at Kerrville Folk Festival and they are also great people with a powerful live presence. ezra vancil

'Be It'

Ran into this on the ISC awards.. great feeling to the sonics of this recording. The sonics of it are what I come back to listen to.. it doesn't hurt that the songs are also fantastic trips. ezra vancil
