lyrics
The lightning’s never struck me down before.
The lightning’s never struck me down before.
If the lightning’s never struck me down,
I reckon that I’m safe and sound
Here in my canoe just off the shore.
I used to be afraid of cloudy skies.
I used to be afraid of cloudy skies.
I would curl up in a ball
In the corner of the walls.
I used to be afraid of cloudy skies.
Until the day that I had almost died.
Until the day that I had almost died.
A lightning bolt hit my eye
And left me blind,
But at the same time,
Somehow it opened up my eyes.
And caused me to finally realize.
It caused me to finally realize
Blue skies were teasing me.
I knew this world could never be
A world of eternal sunshine.
The lightning’s never struck me down before.
The lightning’s never struck me down before.
If the lightning’s never struck me down,
I reckon that I’m safe and sound
Here in my canoe just off the shore.

Where once her playing was essentially representational and descriptive, with 12-string cascades and plaintive vocals standing in for wind and snow, “Nighttime Birds” attempts to give voice to the fingerstyle guitarist’s entire universe at once. Bandcamp Album of the Day Jan 23, 2019
