lyrics

All My Life

All my life, I’ve seen the sadness come
and I have seen the sadness go
Down the road, under the wire fence
across the field, the junk cars rest
down tall grasses, they sit abandoned
for the wilderness
with their fenders bent, and their windshields cracked
A hundred blackbirds fly like a cloud of one
to see, and then go back
Deep within, the silence of your soul
time is nothing less or more
than just a constant breathing in and out
to free a delicate sigh
Somewhere the steam is rising from your morning bath
and your suitcases are packed
but here, the forest quivers in the sun
in fractured light upon the grass
As the crows strut, and peck the pebbles up
your daylight comes b’tween the curtainsa
and lays in a beam across the rug
So constant how the sighs of time
like bellows blow the embers in the heart
in and out, I’ve seen the sadness come
and I have seen the sadness go

Thea Ennen Wisconsin

I sing and write to make a sense of my existence - my place in this world. Each song is a specific journey down a road. They are my magic carpets to see again a memory or expectation. I use songs - melodies and words - to guide me, like a rudder through the waters of life. .

I think I sing in public to reassure this kind of journey- to never lose touch with what is instinctual.
