lyrics

I am a mermaid, you are a pirate
I sit on my rock and you sail right by me
I wrote this little song, a little song that I could sing
to make you look at me
Oh to make you look at me

I am a swimmer, you are a lover
no wave can scare me but there's something that does
Take a minute of your time, take your eyes off the stormy sea
and have a look at me
oh take a look at me

I'm making my way in my hand me downs
everything I'm wearing has been passed around
A trumpet vine is growing out of me,
every bloom is blowing a rhapsody

I am Pleiades, you are Orion,
you're such an archer and I'm really tryin'
to shine in my corner of the sky, be as bright as I can be
to make you look at me,
Oh to make you look at me

I'm making my way in my hand me downs
everything I'm wearing has been passed around
A trumpet vine is growing out of me,
every bloom is blowing a rhapsody

I am a church bell, you are a pigeon
we're both up high above this house of religion
I'm polished bright as brass so you tell me what you see
when you look at me
oh when you look at me

I'm making my way in my hand me downs
everything I'm wearing has been passed around
A trumpet vine is growing out of me,
every bloom is blowing a rhapsody
I broke my heart, I fell right in, I climbed back out,
the world was beautiful again, oh that's what you see,
when you look at me
oh when you look at me

about

Jes Raymond & The Blackberry Bushes Seattle, Washington

The Appalachian Mountains are the meeting place of the fiddle and the banjo, and musical culture permeates the entire length of the Mississippi River. The Blackberry Bushes are rooted in the rainy bottom of the Puget Sound, but their work is infused with the essence of the homes they wandered West from.
They have a playful and resonant sound with both twang and sophistication.
