Chipped Fingernails © 2019 Lys Guillorn (Little Wren / BMI) I went outside and I didn’t even wear a coat so this is the song that I wrote when I didn’t have a thing to say. Chipped fingernails snag on my dirty jeans. This time last year I almost quit the scene. When I arrive, I plug in and play and I begin my day. I repeat one and two ‘cause that is what I do, and every now and then I stop when I’m thinking about what to say, when I’m dreaming about what to sing, when I’m thinking about what to say. A bird calls out, I key into my house and open up my mouth ‘Til I go north or south, that’s what I’ll crow about. I repeat one and two ‘cause that is what I do and every now and then I... backward and forward I go turn over the page, begin again. That’s what I do when I’m transforming (words).

The River Wants to Turn Me Around © 2019 Julie Beman (So Many Stars / ASCAP) Tide’s coming in and the river wants to turn me around The tide’s coming in and the river wants to turn me around Says right side up is upside down I say “I know where I’m going by the ocean’s sound.” The tide’s coming in and the river wants to turn me around Sun’s going down and the river wants to turn me around Oh the sun’s going down and the river wants to turn me around Says “slow down girl, it’ll be dark soon” I say “I’m keeping my course, gonna follow the moon.” The sun’s going down and the river wants to turn me around Close to the ocean, the river wants to turn me around I’m close to the ocean, the river wants to turn me around I say “Your sons are stirring up filthy water, I’m going home, I’m the Ocean’s daughter.” Close to the ocean, the river wants to turn me around
