Thank you heaven for this melody Thank you stars for shining down on me Thank you fire for burning my sins Thank you salt and water, I dive and I cleanse I know not my Lord, if we're the only ones I'm a slave to their hearts, my daughter and son And justice, I search for it still We called them for help, but they came and they killed I know not my Lord, if we're the only ones But it hurts when there's love, and it hurts when there's none It's been ten million years of man-to-man cruelty Was it part of the plan, will it always be I know not my Lord, if we're the only ones I'm a slave to their hearts, my daughter and son And justice, I search for it still We called them for help, but they came and they killed I know not my Lord, if we're the only ones But it hurts when there's love, and it hurts when there's none It's been ten million years of man-to-man cruelty Was it part of the plan, will it always be It's been ten million years, of man-to-man cruelty Was it part of the plan, will it always be

Vagabond 03:10
I am a vagabond Love child, gypsy woman My mother was a hippie Hitchhike to San Francisco Jay Blue didn't know how to Keep me about that country town My chair was rocking steady But I was never ready I am a vagabond Love child, gypsy woman A stolen African, European Native American Rex White couldn't hold me tight enough To keep me in that jungle My bowl was filled with sugar But I had to sail on further I am a vagabond Love child, gypsy woman My pa was born on a train Just arrived from Louisiana Dean Black couldn't hold me back In the bright lights of the city I had to leave that home Just like a rolling stone I am a vagabond Love child, gypsy woman My mother was a hippie Hitchhike to San Francisco Jay Blue didn't know how to Keep me about that country town I had to leave that home Just like a rolling stone

Do I have to leave now I don't know where I'll run to One man fell down, he is nowhere around Two men fell down, they are nowhere to be found Two women fell down, someone tell me where they are now That poor boy, how he laid on the ground With guns, they shot him down That poor boy, how he laid on the ground With guns, they shot him down I enjoyed your party Stood beneath the palm tree One man fell down, he is nowhere around Two men fell down, they are nowhere to be found Two women fell down, someone tell me where they are now That poor boy, how he laid on the ground With guns, they shot him down That poor boy, how he laid on the ground With guns, they shot him down With guns, with guns, with guns, they shot him And he lay, and he lay, and he lay down

Dark Moon 03:23
Without him I am a dark moon Don't know where he's gone, hope he comes back soon And we could talk about it and I will glow once again I live on the fence, one side is loving him The other, an institution for the unsound Can't we talk about it And I will climb my fence once again I was a runaway I ran from pain, from love into his arms And no tear I shed, will make him need me like I need him All his compassion is gone It's in my teeth I'm still incomplete Make him hold on to me, hold Make him, make him hold on Without him I am a dark moon Don't know where he's gone, hope he comes back soon And we could talk about it and I will glow once again All his compassion is gone It's in my teeth I'm still incomplete Make him hold on to me, hold on Make him, make him, make him Hold on, hold on, hold on Without him I am a dark moon Don't know where he's gone, hope he comes back soon And we could talk about it and I will glow once again

about

A SHORT HISTORY OF GIRL BY THE NAME OF GIRL
This album is an ode to my vagabond years. It all started summers ago with a pilgrimage to Haifa, a transcontinental train ride in Russia, camping under the California desert sky, Anna’s guitar, and a stilted veranda over Pearl Lagoon. I had those places in mind when I chose which songs to record. When I decided to play and sing simultaneously. When I became inclined to sing once again after undergoing a surgery that would lead to years of silence. Girl By The Name of Girl is a resurgence of the lyrical, lost soul, beach bonfire, hitch hiker, rolling stone, wanderer that will always remain.
