lyrics

Marshfield Girl

The fog was lifting from the bogs and the rills
Hovering and floating on the sides of the hills
Down in the marshes, a girl wades through the mud
telling the blackbirds about the things she loves
All about a dream that slipped away
leaving only a dangling facade
The scent of the lilacs hung in the air
She put a wasp nest on top of her hair
and started to tight rope on a web that was there
tiptoeing past the footprints of her secrets
Balancing on top of the world
there goes the Marshfield Girl
Yes, she can remember the edge of her dreams
How easily they slip away
She stands at the edge of a precipice and soon
the Sandhill cranes are floating past the crescent moon
Their eyes are soft with ecstacy
floating up and down so free
Balancing on top of the world
there goes the Marshfield Girl

about

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.

-Thea Ennen
