lyrics
you never step in the same river twice, no
look at me sharp as spades
tough as coal
walking tightropes
steady on my feet
pigeon toes straightening in front of me
I’ll be Joan of Arc and make a start
with conviction
I’ll keep my name, they’ll write me
down like St. Marie
pat me with cool cloths
‘cuz I got a bad fever
blame that bear with his paws
in my bird feeders
see that river flowing
I’m gonna roll with it
keep my grit
If I pick a peach or a pit
I’ll be Joan of Arc and make a start
with conviction
I’ll keep my name, they’ll write me
down like st. marie
find me in the wildflowers
knee-deep in fields of gold
a smooth blue aster
in her prairie foothold
Fields of yarrow
Far as I can see
Don’t take much
Don’t need a lot
To be free
they’ll write me down like st. marie
they’ll write me down like st. marie

Blue Skies

Maybe we’re friends ‘cuz we’re far apart
You don't see me flip the handle when I’m cookin’
Maybe you’re far because you’re smarter than me
Maybe we’re losing commonalities
My sister said once I’m a pot of hot water bubblin’
Maybe my lids off I’m making steam
Maybe I'm not used to seeing
Blue skies, blue skies, honey
Break the good news to me
I couldn’t see the sun through the trees
it’s funny
You lifted the leaves
showing me it’s that easy
Maybe I don't light up ‘cuz i’m smoked out
Levelled like a used candle
Maybe my wick's not fit for a flame
maybe I should change my ways
it's a bad sign when my light is flickering
maybe hot air makes soot
maybe I'm too proud to look for
Blue skies, blue skies, honey
Break the good news to me
I couldn’t see the sun through the trees
it’s funny
You lifted the leaves
showing me it’s that easy
The chips in my walls reveal a brighter paint
revisions of me are falling away
My mother is an immigrant
My father helped her speak
Watching them I see
Love loosens your lips
to pronounce “please”
Maybe it’s a trick
Maybe I’m a fool for staying
Maybe I’m a tired door
hinging and swinging
Maybe I was not expecting
Blue skies, blue skies, honey
Break the good news to me
I couldn’t see the sun through the trees
it’s funny
You lifted the leaves
showing me it’s that easy
it's easy

Oh my my I’m a lost soul
Searching for a shoe
Something to lace me
Make me of use
Oh my my I’m desperate for meaning
Everywhere I look
Dictionaries and history books
What do they mean?
Who do I believe?
I’ve walked the floor of canyons
With a wishbone and wind in my ears
I’ve seen the lighthouse, the pier
Still the way is unclear
Oh my my much too young
To love you the way I do
Just like a child
I throw my toys at you
Oh my my is there a boundary
Is anything as it seems
I had a dream I climbed
a ladder up to the sea
What does that mean?
Why do you call me evergreen?
I’ve walked the floor of canyons
With a wishbone and wind in my ears
I’ve seen the lighthouse, the pier
Still the way is unclear
Kicking heels
Staying out late
Loud crowds couldn't wait
I know better
I should know better
Than to the lick the seals of envelopes
Pinky square with misanthropes
I know better
I should know better
I really should
I’ve walked the floor of canyons
With a wishbone and wind in my ears
I’ve seen the lighthouse, the pier
Still the way is unclear
Do you feel my love?
Does it make you warm?

Larysa Musick Winnipeg, Manitoba
Given her last name, Larysa Musick was probably meant to be a singer-songwriter. Her wide-eyed vintage-nostalgia folk songwriting combines effortless finger-picking guitar, lush mezzo-soprano vocals and earnest lyrics, informed by Larysa’s years reciting at poetry slams for scores out of ten, similar to diving competitions. ... more
