Thistles
Thistles, thistles throw
open like roses!
Blue and yellow flow'rs
sprawl on your cheekbones
Stars bleed from the skys
catch flight and roll 'way
down the road...
Thistles, thistles grow
'round me like posies!
You caught me going down
to the water, to have a drink
no, I can't kiss you straight
when I been dusted
and lonesome
Thistles, thistles move
'round the wind's neck
I try to stay in bed,
stand still and speak low
You make, make me jump
through fires and fences
made of lead
I want, want to go
down where the wind blows
Down there, take me slow
wrap me in milllstones,
furrows and lands,
dont let me go!

Blackbirds
Blackberries in sun,
emerald eyes of mine
They're covered in dust,
the Lord'll wash 'em out
Warm berries in pails
lay battered, bruised on the porch
my mama's been crying,
her tear drops echo for miles.
Blackbirds are crowing o'er my head, I feel fine
Blackbirds are circling o'er my friends, I feel fine
Feathers have been
strewn, all over the dirt
Red-tailed and blue
No wings to carry me home,
Or away, away....
Blackbirds are crowing o'er my head, I feel fine
Blackbirds are circling o'er my friends, I feel fine
When my mama is gone,
sparrows lift from the ground
and emerald bays we'll find, gone
angel white as my skin.
and I've given up crying
my back is facing the sun
So give, give, gimme some peace,
I fold my lips to pray.
Blackbirds are crowing o'er my head, I feel fine
Blackbirds are circling o'er my friends, I feel fine

Lindsay Clark Portland, Oregon
Lindsay Clark is a multi-instrumentalist, lover of nature, magic, myth and sound - she grew up in the Sierra Nevadas and now calls the Pacific Northwest home.
Lindsay Clark recommends:
A beautiful, meditative and poignant album you can get lost in. A statement that feels complete and will bring you out the other side.
go to album
Delicate, understated and beautiful. Lucy's writing is like a whisper you can barely catch, but when you do it's striking and thought provoking, supported by beautifully written wind arrangements.
go to album
Something to ride through the days with, like an old friend or that thing you never knew you were missing. Melodies that feel like home.
