Lyrics
I had a mother once,
she meant to love me well
she meant to love like a mother do
but the ocean swelled up mean....
& a great big wave gobbled her from me.
I had a father once
he meant to love me true
he meant to do what a father do,
but the sky had to brew up a storm that
chewed him from me warm.
I had sisters once
I knew we'd always find each other
when we played our hide and seek game,
& called where are you....
but the wind blew. ..... the wind blew.
chorus:
But I dream all these strange horse dreams...
When I sleep, horses run wild in my dreams....
Thought I'd have a lover once
I felt him wait in the branches of my tree.
And everytime he ran scared,
just like the horses he'd come back to me...
*chorus*
she meant to love me well
she meant to love like a mother do
but the ocean swelled up mean....
& a great big wave gobbled her from me.
I had a father once
he meant to love me true
he meant to do what a father do,
but the sky had to brew up a storm that
chewed him from me warm.
I had sisters once
I knew we'd always find each other
when we played our hide and seek game,
& called where are you....
but the wind blew. ..... the wind blew.
chorus:
But I dream all these strange horse dreams...
When I sleep, horses run wild in my dreams....
Thought I'd have a lover once
I felt him wait in the branches of my tree.
And everytime he ran scared,
just like the horses he'd come back to me...
*chorus*

Hi Rayelise, thanks for this posting. I really like the understated, brittle quality of your vocals. The lyrics are quite emotional in content and the subtle performance counterpointed them nicely. The ending was fine. Perhaps you might just cut the last single piano note and end on the previous chord? Also the words "gobbled" and "chewed" seem a bit out of character with the lyrical sentiment? Perhaps look for some others - which I can't think of of the top of my head :-) But these are just minor suggestions to a song I enjoyed a lot. Regards, Peter.
