Beautiful music by Alela Diane

Have a listen..

"Every Path"



"All the back roads
All the highways
Distant countries that I've past through
Every path has led me back to you
Every path has led me back to you

Down by the river by the light of the moon
I feel the echo of your current in my core
As I roam, as I roam, as I roam, as I roam

Every path has lead me back to you
Every path has lead me back to you

When I'm around, I want you near
Handsome fellow, will you hold me dear
I've seen blue eyes and straight white teeth
Golden minds and sturdy feet
But every path has led me back to you
Every path has led me back to you

Down by the river by the light of the moon
I feel the echo of your current in my core
As I roam, as I roam, as I roam, as I roam

Every path has lead me back to you
Every path has lead me back to you

Put your hand upon my breast
My little darling I know of restlessness
My little darling I know of restlessness"


"Oh, My Mama"




"Oh my Mama
She gave me these feathered breaths
Oh my Mama
She told me use your voice,
My little bird

She said sing sing sing sing sing sing melodies
And she sang sang sang sang sang sang melodies

Oh my Mama
She did give me fancy feet
I'll be dancing on
And I'll tap tap tap my toes
Into those creaking floorboards

Oh my Mama
She took my little hand and held on tight
Oh the Mamas
Give the waters of their wells
Oh the Mamas
Give the babies this very dirt we're walking on
Oh my Mama
She gave me these feathered breaths
And your Mama
She gave you those feathered breaths too

And when the sky drops all those feathers
And when the birds sing in the morning
I'll be a mama
I'll have a daughter
I'll be a mama
I'll have a daughter

And I'll give her melodies
I'll give her melodies

And I'll give her melodies
I'll give her melodies

And she'll be
My little bird
And then she'll fly
She'll fly"
