about

Produced by Grammy Award winner Neal Merrick Blackwood.

lyrics

You're singing to the night sky
Eyes perched above my head
The marks of your melody
Made by the hands of your breath

If love leads to action
How will we ever rest
Finger moving over old strings
Buffalo hearts in our chests

Chorus
If heaven is a place
Where everything goes right
And love is a shape
That never knew any lines
Can I keep you in a state
Where what has lived never dies
May we leave this place
With Appalachian eyes

You're gleaming in the daylight
Old barns smearing by
Blackberries on the fence lines
The sun drawing pictures on your
closes eyes

Chorus

You're gleaming with a banjo
Blue light on your face
Is the key to living simply
Simply dropping out of the race

Chorus

We're singing to the night sky
Buffalo hearts in our chest

Chelsea Lynn La Bate
Penland School of Crafts, NC.
