about

Written by Matthew Smith

My cousin Matt moves through the forest with an ease like no one I’ve ever seen. He played this song for me when I was a little kid visiting him in rural Nova Scotia, and I’ve asked him to play it for me most times that I’ve visited him over the years. I finally asked if I could record it.

lyrics

Lady of the Trail, that binds my mind
Take me to this place, where I can find my lily child
I would take you there if I knew the way
To the place where the river meets the bay
But the fire inside always leads you astray
Down by the water covered in moon’s eyes

My Lady
You will recall the greatest love of all

She takes my hand, through the moss grove
Over the water drops that have started to flow below
And I know I will always remember this day
In the place where the river meets the bay
But the fire inside always leads you astray
Down by the water covered in stars’ eyes

Lady of the Earth, can I hold you some more
I love you, Lady, and I could bring you so much more
Now I lay down sinking in your love
I see new light spring from above
If I could breathe, I never should
Under the water covered in moonshine
