When I'm called to the Orchard
I'll call the sparrow and the wren
I'll call the crow and the blue bird
To cast a shadow on the land
When the diggin's done
When the ashes are ashes and the dust is dust
When all it takes is one tear fallin'
To stop my weary heart with rust,
Will you just, leave me with the old fashioned sinners
A bottle and be quick to deliver
This soul of mine
Sure as the wine ain't water
Mama, this father's daughter is gonna be just fine
I wanna be the howl in the wind
I wanna go where the thin air begins
I wanna be the one to keep loving you
From somewhere between heaven and a birds eye view
Will you just, leave me with the old fashioned sinners
A bottle and be quick to deliver
This soul of mine
Sure as the wine ain't water
Mama, this father's daughter is gonna be just fine
When I'm called to the Orchard
I'll call the sparrow and the wren
I'll call the crow and the blue bird
To cast a shadow on the land
Christa and I go way back, it's true. She sings truer than any and with the vulnerability in joy and sorrow that will charm you in your secret places. Jess Hill
