i have Blue, The Hissing of Summer Lawns, and Hejira. they are all fantastic, she is my favourite female singer songwriter!
'Sweet Bird' from 'the hissing of summer lawns' has some of the most beautiful lyrics ever written.
"Out on some borderline, Some mark of inbetween
I lay down golden-in time, And woke up vanishing
Sweet bird you are, Briefer than a falling star
All these vain promises on beauty jars
Somewhere with your wings on time, You must be laughing
Behind our eyes, Calendars of our lives
Circled with compromise
Sweet bird of time and change, You must be laughing
Up on your feathers laughing
Golden in time
Cities under the sand
Power, ideals and beauty, Fading in everyone's hand
Give me some time, I feel like I'm losing mine
Out here on this horizon line, With the earth spinning
And the sky forever rushing
No one knows
They can never get that close
Guesses at most
Guesses based on what each set of time and change is touching
Guesses based on what each set of time and change is touching
Guesses based on what each set of time and change is touching
