lyrics

Lucky lady lives in the lake of dreams,
she sews the morning together at its seams,
it seems a particular way to spend one's day.

Lucky lady lives half under-water.
Don't bother her none, she's got the lungs of a mermaid,
Saved herself, but couldn't save the one's she loves.

Sunken ships aren't as romantic as they seem,
algae climbs in through the window, substitutes your coffee cream.
I dreamed of being a pirates girl when I was young.

Does the bay take your breath away,
On that late night paddle to the shore?
Don't ask for more than what you're given honey,
you aint' nothing but a ripple, you ain't nothing but a ripple.

Lucky lady lives without the land,
spirits’ teach her to turn the water into hands,
she uses to move you, like your favorite song.

Wont' be long now, ice has cleared from the horizon,
keep your eyes on waves that break and tides that trail,
does your ship sail, or stay anchored to the bottom?

Does the bay take your breath away,
On that late night paddle to the shore?
Don't ask for more than what you're given honey,
you aint' nothing but a ripple, you ain't nothing but a ripple.

Lucky lady, lilts and tilts with the house she built.
Lucky lady, sways and prays through the waves.
Lucky lady, sinks or swims with her ship.

Have had the pleasure of seeing Abigail perform twice (the Burdock & Winnipeg house concert). Her mad harmonic skills, compelling lyrics, and hilarious stage presence make each performance something special! heathenevelovesyou
