about

Wandering through Carytown, 25 years old, newly Divorced, an Adult Orphan, the only guidance I could find inside myself, “Follow the music”. Cary Street Cafe, alive then, resonating with the sounds of a local reggae band and a guitarist that echoed SRV. The rhythm, the dancing, the camaraderie, the hugs from the other dancers… and I found relief from the Invisible Wound of Heartbreak, at least for a little while. That night this song was born… and so was I…

lyrics

It rushes over me, it fills my soul
Drown me in your river, swallow me whole

It rushes over me, it fills my soul
Drown me in your river, swallow me whole

I can feel the cool breeze in my hair
Like a late summer’s day
Your music plays I’m there
It takes me away!

It makes me so high!
It eases the pain
It courses through me
Like a drug for my veins

I can feel the tall grass on my feet
Like a late spring day
Your music washes over me
It takes me away!

For a moment I forget the hurt
For a moment I forget he left
For a moment I feel pure
… and I can rest!

It rushes over me, it fills my soul
Drown me in your river, swallow me whole
