Several years ago, my bandmate gave me a chord progression that we played around with, but it never materialized into a song. I finally found the words for it (though the original music concept faded into time past) in thinking of my extended family in the PNW.

lyrics

Your grains of sand have been my bed
Your rocks have heard me cry
Songs of gulls on the wind
Echoing my sighs
Refuge from the bitter days
Solace in the night
Came of age and found my way
In your mystic water's sight

The vast golden plains
Don't feel like home to me
And winter snows strip the leaves
From trees that should be green
The nights get so cold
And the rain smells strange
I'm itching to run
It's time for a change, oh...

Wrap me tightly in your healing, soothing arms
Rock me gently in your waves
Take me back to the child I used to be
'Cause this is home, this is me

Now you know
From where I came
You've walked the shore
That still calls my name
The sun has set
On many old decisions
But the moon will rise when I return
And fill me with new visions...

I haven't known about Leslie for long, but I'm glad I do now. She fits my wheel house. A raw, striking feminine voice singing about everything from folklore to sci-fi. From rock to filk she can pull it off. TimTTT
