lyrics

Lyin' on the floor
Starin' at the wall
Waitin' for the phone to ring
But you've already called

Tryin' on that dress
You gave to me last fall
I can still remember
The moment that we stalled

And I can taste your salt upon my lips
And I can hear you breathing
And I can smell your body on my skin
But I can feel me leaving

And I have to let you go
Yes, I have to let you go
And you can get up and go
'Cause I'm already gone
I'm already gone

Slipping from these sheets
I gather up my clothes
Pack them in a suitcase
While both your eyes are closed

I never meant to stay
I'm not the one you chose
I'm followin' the wind
Whichever way it blows

And I still taste your salt upon my lips
And I still hear you breathing
And I still smell your body on my skin
But I can feel me leaving

And I have to let you go
Yes, I have to let you go
Now you can get up and go
'Cause I'm already gone
I'm already gone

It's easy to recover
From a shallow lover's wound
I have no doubt
You will discover
That you're better off

So I have to let you go
Yes, I have to let you go
Now you can get up and go
'Cause I'm already gone
I'm already gone
I'm already gone
I’m already gone

Mischief
by S. J. Tucker

Mischief was my introduction to the spellsongcraft of S.J. Tucker who builds sonic story sculptures with such precision and grace of motion that I am borne up on her bright beating wings of wonder. Leslie Hudson

Stolen Season

A silky, smooth, sultry voice weaving lyrical imagery upon a canvas of exquisite tonal contours. Immensely pleasurable. The bouncy cheer of " Little Bird" is a delightful contrast to the dusky jazz groove of this truly beautiful album. Much gratitude for you S J ! roddylloyd
