Re-harmonization and new lyrics to “simple gifts”

lyrics

I’m Awkward, so fucking awkward
I don’t know how to stand
I can’t look up, I can’t look down
I don’t know where to put my hands

Please don’t notice I’m just floating
I’m always in the way
You try to talk to me, but you think I’m mocking thee
I just don’t know what to say

You like my songs, you tell me I’m pretty
You find my social skills are shitty
You don’t believe that I love you
But I swear my heart is pure and true

I’m eccentric, but also tantric
I’d like to show you what I do
Around all of these strangers all I feel is danger
I just want to be alone with you

(Tis a gift to be simple, tis a gift to be free
Tis a gift to go down where you ought to be
And when you’re in the place that seems just right
You’ll be in the valley of love and delight

Dance, dance wherever you may be
For I am the lord of the dance said he
Turn, turn will be your delight
When you’re in the valley of love and delight)

about

Milly Raccoon image

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.
