about

In this song, with voice, harmonica, accordion, ghost whistling, and the sounds of rain, I return to my roots in the Canadian Rockies, mixing images of nature with an unrequited love.

lyrics

Her dress was a milky turquoise, fed by lakes among mountain moraines.
Her voice a gentle curtain of mist on a hillside that's grateful for rain.
Dark tendrils of hair curl 'round her ears and sweep up from the nape of her neck.
Oh the woman whose shoulders fill out the form of her music and that turquoise dress.
The turquoise dress, it goes floating,waltzing up from the forest floor,
Up past the cliffs and the pines on the breeze
to the clouds, where I'll see her no more.
