Tokyo’s all lit up and she is dancing
Always romancing more blood from the stone
On a bed of roses you were sleeping
Their thorns slowly creeping
And that’s a pain you had learned to bare
We go back and forth we go ‘round and ‘round
I see the earth moving slowly as she turns
You know the truth can really hurt
But the pain is even worse when you
Find yourself backed in to a corner
You had been searching for fossils in the canyons
The caves’ companion to the boys playing in the sun
Before the beast comes it gives me fair warning
It announced it was coming, but I chose not to run
We go back and forth we go ‘round and ‘round
I see the earth moving slowly as she turns
You know the truth can really hurt
But the pain is even worse when you
Feel the glass start to shatter
Here is a life that is shaped by choices
Guided by voices and rules of thumb
On the steps of the church stood a statue of St. Francis
Back to your birthplace where the sister birds sing
We go back and forth we go ‘round and ‘round
I see the earth moving slowly as she turns
You know the truth can really hurt when the tables have turned
But I was always a good daughter
Shouting from the rooftops I see smoke and amber
Those coal porter chambers telling tales of another life
Sometimes I think of the mothers of soldiers no matter who our leader is
Must we fight for gold or God?
We go back and forth
We go ‘round and ‘round I see the Earth moving slowly as she turns
Don’t let the child lead; they’ll shake the fruit from the tree
And all you will hear is their laughter
Wonderin’ what’s in store for our future

Entire album is excellent. As is the rest of the catalog. Go back to 1970...take the Dead and Floyd and roll them up. Yet completely different.
Just plain old GOOD MUSIC. Ed Fransko

One of the most gorgeous, moving albums. What sets it apart, besides the melodies and the meticulous musicianship is Marissa's trenchant lyrics. Each track is a short story, or poem, if you like, a slice of life, and experience. You can't ask for more from music. Highest recommendation! Eric Van Lustbader

If Wooden Shjips traded their sails for a prairie schooner, this is what you might hear them playing around the campfire at night on the Great Plains: homespun country-rock with a hint of psychedelia. Wonderful stuff, from start to finish. neu-mann
