lyrics

There she stands, like the summer of our childhood
Like the promise of redemption
Like the mother who would always show me how
Like the petals on a bough…….

Hear her song, like the morning of creation
Like a battlefield in silence
Like the sweetness of the loam behind the plow
Like the petals on a bough

And the words are like arrows in your heart
And the tune tears your memory apart
And the voice of the woman, takes your fear and your sorrow
Its already tomorrow in your mind
There she stands…..

There she stands, and i think i smell redemption
Just a hint of printed cotton
And a long lost love that skitters ‘cross her brow
Like the petals on a bough

Hear her song
Its an echo in the forest, and it sings of summer sadness
The final hope that loving will allow
Like the petals on a bough

And the words are like arrows in your heart
And the tune tears your memory apart
And the voice of the woman, takes your fear and your sorrow
Its already tomorrow in your mind
And you can no longer borrow any time
There she stands…..

Rick Jones and Valerie Neale Patagonia, Arizona

Husband & Wife. Mutual Muses. Rick Jones and Valerie Neale proved time and time again that some marriages are just plain music in the making.

They released their first cd "Life Drawing" in 2009 and continued to play together without recording another album. Only in 2021, when Rick was diagnosed with cancer, did they realize that they needed to record these songs.
