Gravity feels weaker than it ever used to.
light as a feather, blown by the wind without you,
I float above all that I love and I can't get home,
Till you pull me back, you show me that I am not alone.
[chorus]
I need an anchor to hold me down,
Baby you keep my feet on the ground,
Don't let me float, don't let me float away.
When it turns to night, stars just fade into the darkness.
I'm lost in the tides, sailing without a compass.
Nothing to show which way to go, it all seems wrong.
Till you bring me back, you show me that I'm already home.
[repeat chorus}
I need a moon that'll calm the sea,
Baby you do the right thing for me,
Don't let me float, don't let me float away.
Honey you're the reason ,
That I get up when my knees are bleeding,
That I wake up when I'm lost and dreaming,
Yeah you bring me back.
Honey you're the reason ,
That I get up when my knees are bleeding,
That I wake up when I'm lost and dreaming,
Yeah you bring me back.
[repeat chorus]
[repeat chorus]
I need a moon that'll calm the sea,
Baby you do the right thing for me,
Don't let me float, don't let me float away.

After waiting many years to hear some of these songs in their final form, I am somehow never surprised at the craft and the artistry Jenny shares with us in the form of this LP. Her ear for sound and gift for collaboration bring us a wonderfully arranged and produced listening experience. Her wit and her heart are second to none, thus the songwriting is of the highest calibre. Her vocals run the gamut from the warmest oranges and yellows to the deepest blues and purples as befitting the moment. Tortacular
