lyrics

Lifetimes it took to find you
A search I won’t forget
Doesn’t it feel like we’ve always been one?
Strangers who’ve already met?

I had no way to tell you
When I was another man
Now every time that I look in your eyes
I see my soul again

These are my hands
And this is my smile for a while
These are my moments
And this is my style
Father and mother
And lover and child
Mile by mile
For a while

I am the sum of the choices
That you and we have made
Kisses and killings and wise little words
All of the games we have played

These are my hands
And this is my smile for a while
These are my moments
And this is my style
Father and mother
And lover and child
Mile by mile
For a while
For a while

It’s not that you’ll be lost in who we are
This galaxy is brighter for your star

These are my hands
And this is my smile for a while
These are my moments
And this is my style
Father and mother
And lover and child
Mile by mile

These are my hands
And this is my smile for a while
These are my moments
And this is my style
Father and mother
And lover and child
Mile by mile
Mile by mile
Mile by mile
For a while

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

THIS EARTHLY SPELL

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
