A song about a woman coming into her own.

Solo acoustic folk, with a bit of celtic music thrown in for good measure.

I do mostly acoustic folk music as well as some celtic music. I value well-crafted songs, with solid lyrics and a good melody line. Musicality - harmonies, interesting guitar work - draws me into a song, so I try to bring these qualities into my own music. You can find out more about me at .

Lyrics

Woman, close your eyes, we know what’s made you weep.
No need to disguise, you’re searching down so deep
I know that you’ve been traveling on your own
Searching for home

But it’s time to sing 
Woman, sing 

Lonely is the road you’re on but you are not alone
Women all around the world have trod the same
Held down by all our cares, too many we can name
Makes your dreams sink like a stone

But still you sing
Woman, sing

(Interlude and turnaround)

Voice robbed by circumstance, visions put on hold
Desire left to live another day
Your wings clipped by the ordinary, there’s nothing more to say
You’ve got to let your dreams unfold

Deep in your heart you know the music’s never died
The dream lies dormant but it still survives
The Fiddler’s tune lifts you up on seabird’s wings
Your soul starts to sing

So it’s time to sing
Woman, sing

Your path is your own
Your time has come
Your dreams they soar to meet the song
The world, so small below you
Cries to sing along
Cries to sing

So help them sing
Woman, sing
It’s time to sing
