Lyrics:
The Fields of Chazy - by Claudia Gibson ©2024 Bessie Music/BMI

Grandpa died when I was young
A farmer and a farmer’s son
His heart was in the North Country
Among the fields of Chazy

Albina was young Joseph’s bride
For 8 years she was at his side
Thru summer, winter, spring and fall
Working the fields of Chazy

Their bond was strong enough to bear
The hard times and the trials they shared
But 1915 winter came
And his love could not save her

Albina’s first child was her last
Just 29 years when she passed
Joe buried them in frozen ground
Ten miles north of Chazy

For ten long years Joe walked alone
The sorrow settled in his bones
He sowed 500 apple trees
Some said that he’d gone crazy

In May of 1925
Joe took Elizabeth for his bride
My dad arrived in ‘29
Born in the town of Chazy

Grandpa played accordion
With gnarled hands when I was young
The songs of old Acadia
200 miles from Chazy

The snow white winter orchids bloomed
The day we heard of Grandpa’s news
His heart had stopped, his spirit flew
From Albany straight up to Lake Champlain

Today I walk a winding road
I touch the trees my Grandpa sowed
My heart’s here in the North Country
Among these fields of Chazy

The twisted ancient apple trees
The sweet fruit of his legacy
Yes, this my Grandpa left to me
These verdant fields of Chazy

Grandpa died when I was young
A farmer and a farmer’s son
His heart was in the North Country
Among the fields of Chazy

LYRICS:

RAIN by Claudia Gibson 

I heard the news come thru this morning
You’re gone, shook off your earthly chains
Blue skies have turned to black
and you ain’t coming back
And sometimes all it does is Rain

You carried the heaviest of burdens
Weathered and worn out by the strain
Your bright star faded into black
That light ain’t coming back
And sometimes all it does is Rain

It rains like the human condition
Like sorrow, music love & pain
It rains like the darkness on a mission
To shut out any light that might remain

Some people they just aint made for livin’
The spirit’s too pure to be sustained
A cavern from a tiny crack
Then there’s no getting back
And sometimes all it does is Rain

It rains like the human condition
Like sorrow, life and and loss and gain
It rains like the darkness on a mission
To snuff out any light that might remain

A voice as pure as heaven’s angels
Her beauty untouched but for her pain
She took the one-way track
That girl ain’t coming back
And sometimes all it does is Rain
Yeah -
Sometimes all it does is rain
Sometimes all it does --
Is Rain

Rain

Colores (Song So Holy) (rough songwriting demo)
6.19.24 by Claudia Gibson
Dedicated to the memory of Tom Prasada-Rao

V1
You held a palette
With all of the hues
Umber and mauve
Cerulean blue
You always painted
A song that was true
All in a voice so holy

	CHORUS
Sunset tonite like it's singing the blues
Brilliant and fading 
Gift from the muse
Voices in harmony breaking the news
All in a song so holy
All in a song so holy
 
V2
Deep is the sorrow
Venetian to black
The curtain comes down
On this final act
Ever the warrior
You fought them back
All with your songs so holy

CHORUS
Sunset tonite like it's singing the blues
Brilliant and fading 
Gift from the muse
Voices in harmony breaking the news
All in a song so holy
All in a song so holy
