Verse 1 Skyline dull in the ashy night Tarnished soul as my key ignites Driving to a second life Triple lanes on 95 Hush as I leave Headed for the evergreens The highways flow To my childhood home Chorus Life was hollow Didn’t sleep 7 years Need a renascence And I’m reborn here So let’s sit on the roof tonight A milky way of fireflies and bliss And I’m not giving it up again Verse 2 Whippoorwill, fly North again Up Beech Hill with an unknown friend He is rare as Northern light Quarry skin and emerald eyes Our trails have crossed Now we’re in a renascence His moon is my pearl He ebbs my world Chorus Life was hollow Didn’t sleep 7 years Need a renascence And I’m reborn here So let’s sit on the roof tonight A milky way of fireflies and bliss And I’m not giving it up again Bridge Orange ripples on the lake Waves wash old days away Earthy smell on his shirt Hair damp from the water We grow hoarse, comets pass Stories stained by fresh cut grass Let this new life last, at last Outro So let’s sit on the roof tonight A milky way of fireflies and bliss And I’m not giving it up again

Neowise 04:33
Verse 1 Meadow stained sheets Overgrown weeds Wild blueberries The dulcet taste of summer Sipping in the twilight Your balmy hand is firm in mine Through the path as fireflies Rise from their slumber Chorus Neowise hovers in the sky Once in a hundred lifetimes It’s so rare to find Such a clear night When naked mortal eyes Intertwine Past earthly chatter 160 million miles away 67 hundred years since she last came Since she last came Verse 2 The town is out to play After living locked away That’s no way to stay On this sacred night of summer The air tonight is fresh As they turn away from death As they take in the first breath Holding everything that they have left Chorus Neowise hovers in the sky Once in a hundred lifetimes It’s so rare to find Such a clear night When naked mortal eyes Intertwine Past earthly chatter 160 million miles away 67 hundred years since she last came Since she last came Verse 3 Stargazing with you Remedied, renewed Jupiter’s moons rise like big white balloons Telescopes and ancient myths Don’t foretell a love like this A solar eclipse In your fingertips Chorus Neowise hovers in the sky Once in a hundred lifetimes It’s so rare to find Such a clear night When naked mortal eyes Intertwine Past earthly chatter 160 million miles away 67 hundred years since she last came Since she last came Outro You came from 13 hundred mile away 25 years till you made your way to me

Quilt Song 03:44
Verse 1 You picked me up from off the ground I’m mostly patches bout now Oh you really know how to sew You mend me up and we’ll be ready to go Gonna watch the garden grow Verse 2 You gather me up at my seams You wring me out until I gleam On your loom you start to weave Making something new out of scraps of me Oh, let’s watch the stars put on their show Chorus I’m just a loose end Eaten by moths But to you I’m a Spectacular piece of cloth A quilt in a book The kind they hang on the wall Or cuddle in on the porch swing Watching red leaves fall I feel them cover us all Verse 3: You lay me down on your bed The pillow under your sleepy head You never hide me in your drawer Not headed to Goodwill forevermore Oh, let’s find something sweet to sew Chorus I’m just a loose end Eaten by moths But to you I’m a Spectacular piece of cloth A quilt in a book The kind they hang on the wall Or cuddle in on the porch swing Watching red leaves fall They sew a quilt for us all

Monhegan 04:16
Verse 1 Loved you since before I knew You walked upon this Earth too 4 am on Monday morning I’m lying next to you We steal minutes in our pockets Spread them in the foggy sea 4 am on Monday morning You’re waking next to me Chorus How did I get so lucky? To find someone so easy to love I can see a life before me Where we stay us Verse 2 Ride the ferry to Monhegan Staying out for the long weekend Ocean air and wind shaped cliffs Hold me for a sunset kiss Fairy houses in the moss Smooth stones that the waves have tossed Every golden day you give I’ll never forget them as long as I live Chorus How did I get so lucky? To find someone so easy to love I can see a life before me Where we stay us Verse 3 Our wheels spinning on the mainland Stop sign whispers Kissing your hand 4 am and we’re still up Pouring starlight in our cup Chorus How did I get so lucky? To find someone so easy to love I can see a life before me Where we stay us

about

In march of 2020, I was living in New York...which I hated. My mom called me and asked me to come home to Maine for "2 weeks until it was over". So much magic ensued, especially finding the love of my life. These songs take you on that journey. I hope you love them as much as I do!
