lyrics

I think I'll change my name to Aurora Borealis
I'll glitter as I go and no one will ask me
if I'm coming home on Sunday
or coming home at all
They'll just be glad to see me when I decide to pay 'em a call

I'll finally make a friend with a trapper or two
stake a claim where the fireweed blooms
I'm gonna float down a river, lazy in the sun
and when the snow starts a fallin'
I'll know it's time I make my run

I've been wandering so long
I don't know when it's time to stop
This life of mine is good to me
but when I see that starlight gleam
I forget about tomorrow and the things that I should know

Wouldn't it be nice to be above it all
swirling in the eddies of a coyote's call
I'll be moaning up high
and they'll be moaning low
Hear us singing through the pines when the weather gets to forty below

I think I'll change my name to Aurora Borealis
I'll glitter as I go and no one will ask me
if I'm coming home on Sunday
or coming home at all
They'll just be glad to see me when I decide to pay 'em a call
Yeah they'll just be glad to see me when I decide to pay 'em a call

Carrying On
by Kacy & Clayton

Canadian folk meets 70s psych-rock. Everything about this album is so cool. Josie Simpson

Twin Solitude
by Leif Vollebekk

This album is groovy, but more than that, it captures this beautiful mood. There are not that many songwriters who I really think of as lyricists, and Leif is one of them. Josie Simpson
