TRACK NOTES
Strangely enough given the title, the verse melody of this song came to me in a dream, in which I was watching a stranger play it on a guitar. I woke up and found the words (and the chorus) in a day or so, starting with the very first line. It's about a couple's journey. Thanks to Irish artist Martin Gale for his kind permission to use an image of his painting "Couple".

LYRICS
I will stay when the weather is warm
And drink to your health, far from the storm
In the sun, we’ll dance really slow
And sit on the cliff where the green river rolls

CHORUS:
But don’t ever dream
You will find
Me walking away
When life is unkind
Don’t ever dream
You will see
Me turning my back
When you’re down on your knees

If you find a mouse in your bed
I’ll go for a ride, and free it instead
When the cold and the wind and the rain
Are shaking the house, and you are in pain

CHORUS
Instrumental

I will stay when life is a bore
And I’m much too old to laugh anymore,
When the light is starting to fade
You’ll sing me a song ’bout that plan that we made:

I will stay when the mist on the lake
Is lifting at dawn and there’s coffee to make
We will sail in a crimson canoe,
Away from the world, and bid it adieu
Away from the world, and bid… it… adieu.

“Red Letter Day"

I woke up this morning
That’s a red letter day
There’s still water left in the ocean,
Sun when the clouds roll away
I don’t need anybody else to tell me
It’s a red letter day

The new girl down the street got married
That’s a red letter day
But I got up before my third alarm clock rang
I didn’t lose a day
If you open up your mind just maybe
You’d think the same

I stopped to smell the roses
It’s a red letter day
Your best friend’s baby just took their first steps
And they’ve got another on the way
Although our situation’s different
Its still a red letter day


Red letter day, don’t need no calendar
Red letter day, don’t need no words on a page
Red letter day, I know exactly what it is I wanna say
And I don’t need anybody else to tell me
It’s a red letter day


Well your mother won the lottery
mmm, Red letter day
But I remembered to do my laundry
That machine didn’t break
No matter how you cut it
Its still a red letter day

Your wife finally got promoted
It’s a red letter day
I still haven’t burned the house down
Despite what my friends all say 
Don’t know what tomorrow brings but I know
Todays a red letter day


Red letter day, don’t need no calendar
Red letter day, don’t need words on a page
Red letter day, I know exactly what it is I wanna say
And I don’t need anybody else to tell me
It’s a red letter day

If you don’t stop and take a breath
If you don’t think you’re always blessed
If you don’t open up your mind, you’re missing
Another red letter day

FAWM 2024 #8 Red Letter Day

The Primitives - I Won't Care

Written / Performed by Rosanne Baker Thornley (RBT) 

It’s the morning of the day 
her life is going to change and it’s quiet
She is in her hotel room 
all the girls will be here soon 
but not arrived yet
All the pieces of this dream
all the months imagining
And here she is
A bit of old, a bit of blue, 
a bit of borrowed, bit of new,
Just like she planned it.
	 
CHORUS
She’s years of braids and ponytails
Pink lemonade, and fairytales
And today she is a bride
And she’s six years old inside
Her mother’s eyes
	 
They sit together on the bed 
a picture perfect wedding dress waits in the corner
A mother, daughter, side by side
they don’t speak so they don’t cry
The day moves forward 
Bit of lipstick, bit of blush, 
a bit of champagne all because 
Here she is
Standing in her wedding day
With her beautiful bouquet
Just like she planned it.
	 
CHORUS
	 
She thinks about all that they’ve had
She knows love moves them forwards not back
And she smiles cause she knows what they’ll have … 

The years, the braids, the ponytails
Pink lemonade, and fairytales
And today she is a bride
And she’s six years old inside
Her mother’s eyes
Today she is the bride,
She’s the passion, she’s the pride, and she’s the light in …
Her mother’s eyes

HER MOTHER'S EYES

Wisdom does not kneel to worldly power. The conflict embodied within us is the refusal of wisdom and the choosing of worldly concerns over Truth. The birth of wisdom heralded by signs is the urge toward itself, Perfect Wisdom Love. The Sol Invictus, the Invincible Sun.

Sharing words, poetic utterances and music by siddhas and great beings of the past and present. May they inspire our innate nature into the actual reality for the benefit of all beings.
