What else do you need for a bluegrass song? How about some great vocals and expert playing? Rhonda gives all that and more on the opening track to her album The Storm Still Rages (Rounder #0474; 1 Camp St., Cambridge, MA 02140; Ph: 800-768-6337; Web: www.rounder.com). Words & Music by Rhonda Vincent & Terry Herd [c] Sally Mountain Publishing / Sparkinator Publishing / BMI CHORUS: Now listen close and you can hear Their mournful cries ring through the darkness Lovers lost and all alone Spirits, too, forever gone Like a nightbird's wail when the wind is still The sound of a river and a whippoorwill Like the driving rain on a roof of tin Her words of love call out to him In the chill of the night through the falling snow Two hearts run wild, no where to go Crossing hills and valleys wide To meet once more on the other side CHORUS It's a bitter wind that sings her song 'Bout a love so right and yet so wrong And promised hearts where passions dwell No one can see, no one can tell Souls lost in time, they were never found Frozen in silence on the cold hard ground Forever one, forever free Wrapped in the arms of eternity CHORUS COPYRIGHT 2003 Sing Out Corporation |
