Fallingbrook Stairs (M. Russell) 1. Red sky tonight My eye's delight The cool sand between my toes I was walking where we used to go Summer nights with a radio Moonlight on your hair, but you're no longer there By the Fallingbrook Stairs 2. I can hear my silence speak Of the beauty that I seek My whole life it seems I've tried to sing a dream Waving a magic wand Conjure that for which I long Still there's nothing there, just the moonlit air By the Fallingbrook Stairs 3. Time forges a chain Drags us into the next frame And we leave behind what we need to find My eyes have come to see That all I seek is in me It was always there, and everywhere By the Fallingbrook Stairs

Hearth (M. Russell 2020) Here we gather We gather here Around this fire Another year By this fire Ancestors met They may be gone But they don't forget What is hearth? But heart and earth Sacred fires And eternal birth Hear the fire Crackle and roar This house is small But wide is the door Amber and shadow Dance the walls To the music The Spirit's call What is hearth? But heart and earth Sacred fires And eternal birth Smoke and ash Iron and stone Turf and memory Sown and grown Smoor the ashes Woman wise Pass the night Under Bridgid's eyes What is hearth? But heart and earth Sacred fires And eternal birth

Hey Rachael 03:22

Hey Rachael (M. Russell) Hey Rachael do you see the light? Climbing up the sky, getting bright I wonder, could it be the dawning? The beginning of a new belonging? Hey Rachael I can see you now Open eyes and rising brow In the glimmer of a loving glance We find the place where angels dance We find the beacon We find the dream We find the threshold Of the unseen Hey Rachael what has our life been? But a song to the love within Gathering raindrops and stars They sparkle when we know who we are Hey Rachael we’ve always known We are one spirit, flesh and bone Together we are so strong And we’ve been together so long We are the beacon We are the dream We are the threshold Of the unseen Hey Rachael do you see the light? Climbing up the sky, getting bright

If You Love (M. Russell) Damned if you do Damned if you don't If only things would go The way that they won't And you want to whistle down the wind All of your hits All your misses Blown out candle flames And unfulfilled wishes And you want to whistle down the wind But if you love you will live You receive when you give If you love you will live So live, my love, so live Some roads go east Some go west The one you’re stranded on Lies between life and death And you want to whistle down the wind In the dark In the know Seems like all you do is Image and echo And you want to whistle down the wind But if you love you will live You receive when you give If you love you will live So live, my love, so live So live, my love, so live
