Soft and low

Joan Shelley frå Kentucky er ein songarsongskrivar som er verd noko. Ho kan sjekkast ut her til liks med novembervisa «River low».

From that cold November I’ve learned so much more
don’t you see, she wears a diamond ring but I
kinda like the river low
Soft and low

In my memories I’m silent
In my daydreams I am bold
I leave tender notes and markings where I go

and I’ve never been pretending
It’s the evenings when I lie
I’ve been silently admiring
the simple way she wears her hair

If it’s a question of my loyalty
you never have to worry
I’ll be with you wherever you may go

There’s a calmness in my footsteps
in the new lines of my hands
there are portraits on the wall that need explaining

and the evenings are quiet
when I’ve finally broken through
getting color in the nighttime
when its not that way

If it’s a question of my loyalty
you never have to worry
I’ll be with you wherever you may go
Sitting safely in your memory
easy for you to carry
take me with you wherever you may go

From that cold November I’ve learned so much more
don’t you see, they wear diamond rings but I
kinda like the river low
soft and low
