lyrics
We were drunk in the bathtub
Beer on the carpet
Ash in the jar
Floating, knocked down the table
we were not able to get very far
Counting lines down my face where
I like to hold you
when we're apart
We were running from the sunrise
we were following the moon tides
coffee tasted like September
I cannot remember
how you're tasting now
I was crying from laughter
does it really matter
cause I do both somehow
we were running from the sunrise
we were following the moon tides
Inst. break
we were running from the sunrise
we were following the moon tides
That was the California summer
I could not recover
Beer on the carpet
Ash in the jar
Floating, knocked down the table
we were not able to get very far
Counting lines down my face where
I like to hold you
when we're apart
We were running from the sunrise
we were following the moon tides
coffee tasted like September
I cannot remember
how you're tasting now
I was crying from laughter
does it really matter
cause I do both somehow
we were running from the sunrise
we were following the moon tides
Inst. break
we were running from the sunrise
we were following the moon tides
That was the California summer
I could not recover

I love listening to Emma Swift's renderings of these songs. Her voice is mesmerizing and her interpretations add new dimensions to these mostly well-worn tracks. Well done! Thank you, Emma!

So delighted that Angel is finding that "hard won acceptance" that she sought and hope that her future path is one of authenticity. This work is one marked by melodious but not overwrought emotion, striking an intuitive balance of warmth and skill.
