We're All In This Together

Witches...The tales are long, diverse and vast. The specific episode of the Salem Witch trials 1692-93, is one of Colonial America's most notorious cases of mass hysteria. It has been used in political rhetoric and popular literature as a vivid cautionary tale about the dangers of isolationism, religious extremism, false accusations, and lapses in due process.
Here is a demo of my new song about a sweet Witch, Beatrix. I still have a few more live strings to play and a lot of mixing for someone else to do lol...just wanted to get it out to share for Halloween...and the election...and fell into a pile of laundry...;) Happy Halloween...can't wait til next one. Love, Heather
There's a clearing in the sky
It's a quarter past midnight
Beatrix my favorite witch 
is clinging onto life
Church bell rang
And the Choir Boys sang
And Norman Rockwell turned in his grave
It all happened last night
She never learned how to fight
With a hair-split second grabbed her kitten and her broom
And she flew away...
There was a clearing in the sky
It was just about midnight
Beatrix my favorite witch
Was hanging on for life
And the moonlight cutting through the holes
of her loose-knit braids
Lookin' like fire flies whipping in the wind of the evening parade
Church bell rang 
And the Choir Boys stayed
To sharpen forks and lighten torch and tore her way
It was all too late
They were taught how to hate
Daddy showed 'em how to chase her up her tree
And smoke her out of here
And I've never ever ever, never ever ever, never felt
more alone
Like her mother years before they just couldn't even know 
That she was love
There's a clearing in the sky
It's a half past midnight
Beatrix my favorite witch
Is fading out of sight
