It's Not Your Fault (Mark Heard/Ashley Cleveland Cover)

Another cover song from a coffee shop gig. The lyrics to this song are really great, and since it's a bit of an "oldie," I'll post the lyrics here.

It's Not Your Fault

I get lonely sometimes
It's not your fault
I'm a [woman] who follows [her] own tracks until [she's] lost
I'll keep on going round and round until I'm found

I get wounded sometimes
It's not your fault
I keep on shooting arrows up until they fall
They stall and turn, a narrow miss until I learn

It's not you, I'll be okay, I'm just a jerk is all
It's alright, it's just my foolishness
It's not your fault

I get helpless sometimes
It's not your fault
I just tend to tug on heartstrings til they break
A thug who wins a kiss and misses finer things

I get angry sometimes
It's not your fault
I let the molehill simmer like Vesuvius
And hole up in Pompeii until all hell breaks loose

It's not you, I'll be okay, I'm just a jerk is all
It's alright, it's just my foolishness
It's not your fault

I clicked on Phil Keaggy Playlist. Not a single Phil Keaggy song?

[LeeshaHarvey]

@RudeAwakning Hmm... not sure how this ended up on a Phil Keaggy playlist. It wouldn't be one of my playlists.... I love Phil Keaggy, but there's no way I could play his stuff! Perhaps it was a connection between Mark Heard and Phil Keaggy...?

Thanks! Yeah, the acoustics aren't great, and the video camera mic makes it even worse, but I'm glad we got some useable footage.
