Lyrics:
Mrs. Birch Bark
I love your hair
Mrs. Birch Bark
I don't mean to stare
Mrs. Birch Bark
I've got a secret
Mrs. Birch Bark
Do you think you can keep
catch me preening myself
In brigthly polished boots
For I go my way in birch bark slippers
And clothes of simple cloth
You'll never catch me combing my
Springside Park
Coffee-colored ice and peeling birch bark
The sound of rushing water in the dark
Makes me feel the same way
An inch an hour, two feet
to go
A chance to trade for furs among the natives that I know
Skimming 'cross the water in those birch bark batteaux
In October 1670 we set out from
of birch bark
The kindness of strangers
Pink stones and warm sand
Why, why, why?
You're always wondering why
I, I, I have to stay strong
To smile
boy down below
Yearning for a new sunrise
To belt out his reprise
We'll make new memories
Write them on the bark of the birch trees
Bark of the birch
down trees in the old trails
Wood chips, sawdust and gasoline
Evergreen needles and birch bark
Coat my red flannel and old jeans
Tinder insurgents, this
regret anything when I'm older
If it's hot now, best believe it's getting colder
I got people moving magic in Minnesota
Birch bark scroller
Waiting for
young
We find and lose, and fall between
But on the river, we're running free
Burnt grass and Birch bark, good when it gets dark
I see the fire in your
has breeched, the water's rushing in
The only option left is if I sink or swim
Into the brave new world
Loan shark, birch bark, better build another
When I was young tada taught me
How to work with my hands said let's build something
Forever in my heart canoe made with birch bark
I'll never forget
When I was young my tada taught me
How to work with my hands said let's build something
Forever in my heart a canoe made with birch bark
I'll never
grass in a grass dance
Backstrap the birch bark, it don't match that
Laying down the seats in the hatch back
Saving my receipts for the land back
Bad
Fingers are grasping, tearing pieces
Birch bark splinters blood grows under the nails
The Summer is dying, the rivers are freezing,
The gust of wind
flight
Dip dip and swing ya dip dip and swing
Paddle power fans loved the way I dressed
Moss-colored kilt birch bark vest
I always came ashore to the roar
(Words and Music by Joan Baez)
Still waters at night
In the darkest of dark
But you rise as white
As the birch tree's bark
Or a pale wolf in winter
place of our wild
piskitenàn folding birch bark
sàgàkwaham come from the forest
niwidòpandimin we eat with each other
nandamònzwe hunting for moose
The porcupine princess she's alone as can be
This porcupine prefers painting sunsets on birch bark
To raising a family or opening up her heart
or going visit
Singing for the spring is like kissing pretty things (yeah)
And change is like fire, change is like wings (yeah)
Birch bark and maple and seas of black
I Ride With My Father Down the River
In a Birch Bark Canoe He Made Last Year
I Hold My Paddle Strong Through the Rapids
And We Float Through
the one I need
I leaned against a bark of birch
And I breathed the honey dew
I saw a North-bound flock of geese
Against a sky of baby blue
Beside
the one I need
I leaned against a bark of birch
And I breathed the honey dew
I saw a North-bound flock of geese
Against a sky of baby blue
Beside
And you're the one I need.
I leaned against a bark of birch,
And I breathed the honey dew;
I saw a north-bound flock of geese
Against a sky of baby blue;
the one I need
I leaned against a bark of birch
And I breathed the honey dew
I saw a North-bound flock of geese
Against a sky of baby blue
Beside
