Such a great voice!  I really enjoyed this!

um.....did you do this on your violin?  I almost made the mistake of thinking it was a ukulele?  there are "firsts" in SWU every week.  this has to be the first tune anyone has ever turned in using only a plucked fiddle.  it'll definitely be the only tune I've ever hear in my life ANYWHERE containing a blues solo that way?!?!  total originality, total creativity and a really cool, sparse, raw, genuine feel.  love this work Michelle.

there’s no wind in my sails
my dining car has gone off the rails
I spend my evenings banging my head against the nearest wall

my gut’s on fire
lost my desire
stand and face the music, 
or start running away

it’s simple, really; 
I used up my last chance
I trusted gravity
every step is a dance

a letter, a feather, a flower, a day
my thumb and my bindle, then I heard you say
once more from the top

those were the days we thought would never end
singing and dancing with my very best friend

push ‘em all in
chips begotten the original sin
face the man in the mirror
or start running away

it’s simple, really; 
I used up my last chance
trust in gravity
every step is a dance
hold me close and count the seconds
closed the door on my way out
I missed my cue, I dropped my lines
can you hear me whisper, when I’m shouting?
once more, from the top
