A native of Rochester, NY, Klein picked up the acoustic guitar and started writing songs while living in Kingston, Jamaica in her late teens.

Back To My Green

Hot afternoon
Tree frogs are revving
Revving it up for a symphony only they understand
What would I do
To be part of the green
Shimmy along to their rhythm

And to just be free
In my body
Free in my mind
Free from the world of want and worry that swallows our time
I could be free
Like the breeze in the pine
On a hot afternoon

When I recall
Places I've been
Cities of steel and granite never let you in
Aw, but back to my green
Her mystery
Pulling me in like a lover whispers

And I'm free
In my body
Free in my mind
Free from the fear of our own wonder that swallows our time
I could be free
Feel the heavens align
When I recall

Sayin' I'm free
In my body
Free in my mind
Free to believe that love and beauty can win in our time
Sayin' I'm free
Sayin' I'm fine
When I follow her lead
Back to my green
