Presence - Sparrow Smith (brand new song!)

A brand new tune on a beautiful spring day We have a full summer of touring ahead, so I’m savoring every moment at our mountain home. Hope you enjoy this simple little song as much as I enjoy playing it. Lyrics- I’d always sow some seeds by the road when I set out on my own My pack was heavy on my back As I walked out in the gloam I set to shedding cans and can’ts That summer I sought to see Just what the world and it’s wide wonder would make of a girl like me There ain’t no time that I don’t take Never a moment that I don’t make Polish presence give it space A life worth living isn’t safe I thought I was still a kid, though I had one of my own Still trying to find that peace of mind I thought came from being grown Had to stay up late in order to create Burning the scraps of the wax How many mother find the space in the folds When the babies are down for a nap Light it will linger and cling to the ridge If we climb to catch it as it fades Rushing to waste not want not Can’t stop the longing for longer days Now in the twilight the sounds of a new life Are filling the meadow and the stream I will stay there with the pollen in my hair And remember the vastness of my dreams
