lyrics

Down by the book there I had me a look and I saw you.
In the oceans of light bathed in summer's twilight the stars envied you.
So beautiful and unrestrained.
Nature's blood flowing through your veins.
Wild like a river.
And from that moment on I knew.

No one was going to change you.
No one was going to chain you.
Why would anyone want to?
You're as beautiful as a shooting star.

She looked at me once and I looked at her twice and my words came tumbling down like three blind mice.
I could see her laughing.
She spoke to me once and I spoke to her twice and my heart came tumbling down like three blind mice.
I could see her blushing.

I'm not here to change you.
Got no chains left on me to chain you.
Why would I ever want to?
You're as beautiful as a shooting star.

Broken Bird Call Hammond, Louisiana

Started by Troy Bennett in early 2013 as a solo venture in the vein of an acoustic project started with Daniel Bankston (The Great Phonograph Fires, Withering Light) in late 2010. All recording and mixing was done by Nick Feduccia. All instruments and arrangements done by myself except for the flugelhorn performed by Mr. Lacy Blackledge. Enjoy.
