UNFOLDS

It all unfolds
in the end,
i'll just bide my time and trust.
I'll be here,
halfway up the stairs,
I've some healing to do with you.

We've come undone
peacefully,
but what a sad, sad song to be sung.
We coiled and grew,
Shared and mended
Like no other I've known.

And this song's for you,
Always for you.

As I love you more than I ever said,
I'll think of you as a precious song in my head,
I'll thank you for the grace of your way,
I'll sing out my heart
As it's sometimes so hard to say,
…It's so hard to say.

This songs for you,
Always for you
My love for you.

Soul to soul. Soul to soul.

So it all unfolds
in the end
Please just bide your time and trust...



Unfolds

Well I don’t wanna scare you 
But love’s a strong word
But it’s not taken lightly
I can only observe it
From where I sit in the light of the sun 
I think about you back in London 
On the cold nights are you alone 

Have you got someone’s arms to keep you safe and warm?

Well wasn’t it you that said
That everything is family and everyone is home so
Why do I feel like, 
A boat in the ocean and the wind in my sails are gone 
Wasn’t it you that sang about love and honesty down by the Tenerife sea
So why can’t you be 
Lovely and honest with me

Well I’ve taken my time
To meditate life 
to open my heart to love
To open my third eye
And all I see now 
Is love that’s abounding
And I’ll feel it all with open arms
Yeah I see it all somehow

And I hope that you’ll find your own way
Cos it’s not mine

Well wasn’t it you that said
That everything is family and everyone is home so
Why do I feel like, 
A boat in the ocean and the wind in my sails are gone 
Wasn’t it you that sang about love and honesty down by the Tenerife sea
So why can’t you be 
Lovely and honest with me

Be honest with me
Comon’ be honest with me
I’m learning honesty
Love and honesty

Now I can say that everything is family and everywhere is home so,
I don’t have to feel like a boat lost in the ocean
Cos’ the wind in my sails will come
Now I can sing about love and honesty to everybody I meet
Cos’ I’ve learned how to be 
Lovely and honest with me

Lovely and Honest

Lo-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-ove…
Oh whimsical dance of the universe
Why have you lead me this wa
I have surrendered my soul to the sounds of your songs
Even when it’s to music I cannot yet play
You’ve answered my prayers in symbolic arrangements
Of mirrors reflecting back forgotten light
As life’s fire storms align in mandala like form
What a perfectly brilliant and cyclical sight

On which to meditate meditate
Chant down the names of 
The deities laughing their Asses off
As I’m struggling in a world of pain
to remember that this is
The ultimate miracle of 
Lo-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-ove…

Oh mysterious workings of spiritual forces
Now is all of this suffering really necessary
I call in the courage to transmute these curses
But honestly where is the karmic relief
Does it come when I finally give up all of my attachments
To the intangible beauty of all that you are 
To the music of a love that was supposed to burn forever
But then fell from the sky like a wondering star

On which to meditate meditate
Chant down the names of the deities
Laughing their asses off
As I’m struggling in a world of shame
 to Remember that this is 
The ultimate miracle of 
Lo-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-ove…

So lets meditate, meditate
chant down the names of the dieties 
meditate, meditate
chant down the names of the dieties
meditate, meditate, chant down the name
meditate, meditate, chant down the name
of Lo-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-ove…

Beyond Refugeeum

Freedom at First Sight

Four voices coalesce. Rooted in rhythm. The women of Ley Line transcend language and genres to create a sound that seems to emerge from deep within the earth. Dynamic harmonies run like a current through textures of stand up bass, guitar, ukulele and percussion. Raised on the North American traditions of blues, folk and soul and inspired by their world travels, Ley Line creates a global soundscape; blending rhythms and influences from Brazil, Latin America and West Africa. Ley Line’s multilingual performances unite audiences around the world.

Ley Line is the musical merging of two duos. Austinites Kate Robberson and Emilie Basez met twin sisters Madeleine and Lydia Froncek at the Telluride Bluegrass Festival in 2013. Since reuniting in Austin, Texas in 2015, Ley Line has been weaving together their individual journeys into a collective vision. Through intimate live performances and multilingual lyrics, Ley Line’s music inspires connection across the peaks and valleys of the human experience.
