"In Truth" - Original Collaboration

For: Etriaph

Music: LTan
Words: D.R.P. Charbonneau

in truth

in truth, i am the sea
the fullness of me
rendered quite discreet
upon the drift of the tide
as i ride forth and back
the carrier of the jack

in truth, i am the storm
grown battle worn
and frayed at the edges
yet i make my pledges
to rock and tree and root
to rock and tree and root

in truth, i am slowly falling and at the bottom
in truth, i am slowly falling and at the bottom
solace

in truth, i am the sky
enchantment to the eye
shining moon or sun
for wherever you run
a watcher grown benign
to see all that is mine

in truth, i am the serpent
slick-filled with the way
spoken of on sorry days
as i slip through grass
to await and alas
am reborn after molting

in truth, i am a heart
sometimes quick to start
but simple and sedate
never arriving late

in truth, i am slowly falling and at the bottom
in truth, i am slowly falling and at the bottom
solace

in truth, i am a friend
always prepared to lend
share, hold and try
to console you when you cry
to smile when you smile, all the while
pleased to exchange

in truth, i am a wanderer
never willing to squander
my freedom for this machine
the gears have always seemed
malicious and unkind
malicious and unkind

in truth, i am slowly falling and at the bottom
in truth, i am slowly falling and at the bottom
i am slowly falling
i am slowly falling
i am slowly falling
and at the bottom
solace

i like it...you should listen to shawn phillips collaboration kind of 10,000 maniacs sounding but not as poppy..have you listened to arthur lee and love

[minxafied]

@ricoadventuravideos thank you! no, i will have to check out shawn phillips and arthur lee, thanks for the recommendations!

For this old guy I have not heard anyone as good since Joan Baez or Joni Mitchell. Immensely talented young lady.

[minxafied]

wow! thank you so much dan! that is a compliment i will relish...probably forever. :) they are both so amazing i'd never even think to put myself in the same sentence, let alone be compared!

[Cisoma]

your voice gave me chills! this song feels old, if that makes any sense - like it has been sung for generations and will continue to be sung far into the future, beautiful.

[minxafied]

wow thanks so much! i'm glad you felt some sort of connection to it- i did too thanks to the lyrics writer, etriaph :) i can only hope someone will continue singing it after me!

[SUNNYD3322]

What a beautiful voice! Very relaxing and very melodious. Bravo!

[cadwalladee]

I just need to get my LTAN fix... this is one I haven't heard before... aaah! the full, rich, melodic voice of Lisa Tan!

Thanks! (I needed that!)

[DAVIDDAMIENR]

Yep ... VERY Joan Baez Sounding,

[FrancisBenedictMa]

[chrisvcb]

i can see myself lying down under a tree as the sunlight filters through the leaves, wind is blowing enough to make a rustle, as this song plays in the background.
