Sister Moon

Lyrics
I wish I had a forest full of Junipers
I could breathe and be easy for awhile 

Why can’t we see the trees for the woods just once
Not worrying how to use it all

We spent the evening
Sparks in the sky
And you told me that you
Would rather die 

I begged you to listen 
It’s not how it seems
But a mind can betray you
On all sorts of things 

Let’s spread them all across the Northern hemisphere 
Have countless goods to share 

I want to lay sweetly in mother earth
Where juniper branches sway

Juniper

Let’s ride our bikes down to 48th 
A drop in a pool that never permeates 

And I found rhubarb even if it’s late 
Find me something sweet and I’ll make it okay 

August in the heat
Beneath a shady tree 
I hope our kids can feel the breeze

All my dreams so free 
But tell me how to be 
In this late summer heat 

I’m scared of 

All the things they’ll miss, Decembers turning white 
The beauty of the forest the Ogalala still high 

The air was heavy even when it’s late
The nighttime will come but the cool will stay away

"Portland" is the first single from Andrea von Kampen's debut full-length album, "Old Country." The full album will be available in February 2019.

LYRICS:
This place looks nothing like where I come from
The trees they turn later, the sky comes undone
We drove all night through Couer d'Alene, and I woke with the sun
Onwards to Portland, Oregon (hmmm)

I just want to leave to say that I did
Nothing against all the green fields of my childhood
But I'm drivin' through all the same places that I used to
I'm gone to Portland, Oregon (hmmm)

(chorus)
If am lost, I am lost on purpose
Please God don't find me
If I am running, I am running away all on my own
I get lost, I get lost, I get lost

Nobody cares if the foundation's cracked
As long as it looks good when somebody asks
Yet I've got a man who loves me despite what I lack
We're goin' to Portland, Oregon if anyone asks

(chorus)

Crossing the Bar

Text by Isaac Watts (1674–1748)

HUSH! my dear, lie still and slumber,	 
  Holy angels guard thy bed!	 
Heavenly blessings without number	 
  Gently falling on thy head.	 
 
How much better thou'rt attended	 
  Than the Son of God could be,	
When from heaven He descended	 
  And became a child like thee!	 
 
Soft and easy is thy cradle:	 
  Coarse and hard thy Saviour lay,	 
When His birthplace was a stable	
  And His softest bed was hay.
