lyrics
red-winged painted blackbird
swaying on a reed
swallow in the eaves
dropping like a fighter
tipping on the breeze
red-winged painted blackbird
spying from a tree
starlings on a steed
shimmer in the sun
and scatter like the leaves
rain falls through the rafters
battering the tin
bluebird coming in
gathered in her wings
a shower for my sins
I dream of places I’ll never see by my will
skies only God can fill
and grounds to alight and be still
blackbird with your red wing
dipper in the creek
water to your knees
dancing on the stones
and slipping underneath
dancing on the stones
dancing on the stones
and slipping underneath
swaying on a reed
swallow in the eaves
dropping like a fighter
tipping on the breeze
red-winged painted blackbird
spying from a tree
starlings on a steed
shimmer in the sun
and scatter like the leaves
rain falls through the rafters
battering the tin
bluebird coming in
gathered in her wings
a shower for my sins
I dream of places I’ll never see by my will
skies only God can fill
and grounds to alight and be still
blackbird with your red wing
dipper in the creek
water to your knees
dancing on the stones
and slipping underneath
dancing on the stones
dancing on the stones
and slipping underneath

"Quite apart from that this album is extraordinary on its
own merits there are few artists willing to expose their talents to such a sparse instrumental background, and you need to listen to it and discover its beauty for yourself."

The Pivot On Which The World Turns (2022)
by Polly Paulusmasupported by 4 fans who also own “Red-Wing”
Came here by accident and feel like I have found a secret, made a very special friend. Making the everyday seem extraordinary, this record has blown me away. Some songs I get no further than a verse in and I'm filled with tears but with no idea why. Such a wonderful thing. Thank you for making it. X
