about

i think i was trying to tap into dylan with this one....or something :) i was definitely hoping to write something that he might want to play someday. songs almost always come to me guitar first, melody second, and words last, but i was driving home one night and pulled over in the county fire station parking lot to capture this one under a streetlight.

lyrics

i'm dreaming of this tonight
but it don't make it real
and it don't make it right
but i'll walk through that open door
and i'll learn from the past
it can't hurt me no more
not like it did before

i hope you can hear me out
and if you can't hear me now
then it's no good to shout
guess i'll blink and call it fate
and i'm thinking too much
and it's getting too late
guess i'll have to wait

i guess some are just here to stay
and i wonder if everything
happens that way
and the world is young
still no one knows nothing
that hasn't been sung
look what we've begun

i'm trying to understand
just what it is in the palm of my hand
i hope i come around
and stop thinking my place
is somewhere underground
there's no letting down

i'm watching this mighty world
with the eyes of a little girl
and i want to see some sunshine
through the rain
through the pain

we've all got a hand to play
and sometimes we lose
but i think it's okay
what a strange design
that you threaten your own hand
when you threaten mine
it happens all the time

i wonder if something's wrong
when we live for too little
and we die for too long
i won't run away
i'd be better off dead and it's better that way
and if we don't notice it won't go away
it's the best we can do and that's all we can say
hey hey hey

and i'm watching this mighty world
with the eyes of a little girl
and i wanna see some sunshine
through the rain
through the pain

Shawnee Kilgore Austin, Texas

"Shawnee Kilgore is to music as velvet gloves are to diamond cutters,” wrote James Hardesty, owner of the Green Frog Acoustic Tavern in Bellingham, WA. “She holds all this beauty in her hand, raw and untouched, then she chips away until it gleams in the light, holding on with a soft gentleness that she has perfected." ... more
