Sam Phillips on NPR | Sister Rosetta Goes Before Us

"Sister Rosetta Goes Before Us"
Strange things are happening everyday
I hear the music up above my head
Though the sight of my heart has left me again
I hear music up above
Secrets are written in the sky
Looks like I've lost the love I've never found
Though the sound of hope has left me again
I hear music up above
Standing in my broken heart all night long
Darkness held me like a friend when love wore off
Looking for the lamb that's hidden in the cross
The finder's lost
I know I loved you too much
I'll go alone to get through
I hear Rosetta singing in the night
Echos of light that shines like stars after they're gone
Tonight she's my guide as a girl on the moon
With the music up above

Sam is great. She writes great songs. I love her voice. I've attended 4 of her shows(one opening for Bruce Cockburn) over the years and she's great live. I met her at a show years ago and she was as gracious and sweet as could be. What's not to love about Sam. One of my absolute favorites.

Love, love, love this song. My trio often covers it...sadly, sans the Stroh violin.

FYI, it's "Tonight she's my guide as I go on alone"....

Girl on the moon was a nice variation, but I agree with you.

[@kathrynwhitbeck9798]

Isn't this the songwriter?......
