Liner Notes

#folk #queer #girlwithukulele #baritoneuke #fuc

Here are my #firstfruits . I've been walking on newly-discovered paths near my home each morning. The Pine Barrens of New Jersey are filled with moss-covered paths that feel like secret ways. I imagine them taking me far away to safety.

Lyrics

Leaving
Jemma Kline

I am off on a misty winter night,
With the moon peering through the shrouded sky.
Follow faded marks upon the trees,
Feel the sand and moss beneath my feet,
Pray the fallen leaves will shelter me,
For I’m leaving.

I am leaving,
From my land and from my home.
I am leaving,
From the world that I know.

I must hide from the watchers on the wall,
Eyes of glass cannot see me where I crawl.
Secret passageway found long ago,
Through the sewer to the riverboat,
They won’t hear me as I softly row,
For I’m leaving.

I am leaving,
From my land and from my home.
I am leaving,
From the world that I know.

See the signs; see the eyes.
Feel the hate; feel it rise.
Before it washes over me,
I must escape; I must flee.

I am leaving,
From my land and from my home.
I am leaving,
From the world that I know.
I am leaving,
From my land and from my home.
I am leaving,
From the world that I know.
I am leaving.
