This Ancient Love

Now I recall this ancient love for you
That I have always known
An eternity in a day or two
For we have ever been one
You are the smartest little creature
That I have ever seen
You know how to fight
Darkness with light
We're a darkness fighting team
And you want to be with me
Our bright-eyed bright ideas
Guide us through the blinding fog
Where the past all bleeds together
In our shipwrecked Captain's log
Now I have caved throughout your caverns
Dove into your darkest big
You are scared of me, but I swear to you
I'm as loyal as a dog
And you want to be with me

Music Men

If it weren't for all these cars, we'd be sleeping out under the stars
Instead of running round these bars playing music til dawn
But out in the woods I'm learning there's a great fire burning
And you and I were yearning for new love to come along
I left my heart in a rocky mountain silo. another in a cool Ohio lake
Now rolling into Nashville, I'm feeling kind of bashful
Cause I'm running out of hearts for these music men to break
Now I spend my nights under honky tonk stage lights
I try with all my might to forget who I adore
But bedtime comes so soon, all alone in my own room
And the lonesome midnight moon shines lines upon the floor

Insomniac's Lullaby

Sleep on, my love, sleep on
It's never good with you gone
And you only stay if you sleep through the day
My sleeping love, sleep on
Come ride this train with me
We'll see the north country
And all day we'll lie like when we die
Come ride this train with me
Goodbye to father and mom
Three thousand miles from home
When I was born, I was already grown
They know not where I roam
I never sleep at night
I gotta wait until it's light
I lie awake and weep, and I never sleep
I cannot sleep at night

I'm an animal, so stay away. Don't lie your lies to me.
I'm an alien and I'm leaving soon. There's no buying time with me.
This room is full, we've paid our way,
and no one has a word to say.
There's a million reasons we're all still here,
and another for leaving today.
Gonna take these shoes, these hand-me-downs,
and ride to the rising sun.
Gonna bring these women my riches
when the battle is finally won.
There's a silhouette of a leafless tree
and the crows are flocking there.
Well, I've done my time, I've saved my dimes.
Gonna go where life ain't fair.
I've got hidden swords all over me.
I'm a fortress of disease.
I've got hidden songs and haunting dreams.
I'm gone, so mote it be.

Nothing to Hide
04:03

What does it mean that after you died
That night in my dream we made love til we cried, til we cried
Your body was glowing and we had nothing to hide
Everything's tragic, we all die one day
I still hope to see you when I pass away, pass away
All confusion forgiven, no sorries left to say
I almost died in California, listening to my friends
Found you there one year later, that's where it ends, where it ends
Good thing I came back, a broken heart to mend
You promised that next time, we'd play all night long
But all that is left is the ghost of your songs, of your songs
You're singing in heaven, where nothing can ever go wrong
My life could be empty if not for the hole
You left when you floated away with your soul, with your soul
And all I can give you is the heart that you already stole

Offering to the Fae

Greetings to the spirits of the living unseen
Faeries and good folk and Earth's merry team
You speak to the wild and laugh with the trees
You pray with the plants and work with the bees
I offer you my thanks and my honor and praise
Burn you sweet incense at the dawn of the day
I sing to you love songs, I sing what I know
Combining our powers as above so below

Milly Raccoon Nashville, Tennessee
Trained by campfires and tavern jams all over the world, Milly Raccoon’s eccentric and poignant lyrics mix with musical
stylings that seem to have travelled out of the past, emulating classic country, early jazz, and other antiquated Americana. There is a connecting thread of spirituality, healing and liberation weaving through her work.

Long Time Coming
by Sierra Ferrell
supported by 6 fans who also own “Hidden Songs and Haunting Dreams”
Sierra Ferrell's music is the nectar that drips from vocal chords of angels on ecstacy and percocet, dripping with honey, and smelling of grandma's brownies. It has been proven to "cure what ails ya", and it temporarily wards off the existential dread that is slowly encompassing us all. Don't let the absurdity of our existence get you down. Listen to Sierra Ferrell instead. I am me and I approved this message.
