Pt. I Comma Open Mic Night 1-2-09

Open mic night at Comma Coffee in Carson City - I sang two songs "Medicine Woman" inspired by my wife, and yet again I sang "Song for Sara" about my daughter - the third time it has been posted here. First time I have performed in front of a coffee house in many years. I was a little nervous, but found my way into that calm, quiet, meditative space and made an effort to stay there during the performance - and overall it came off as pretty mellow and subdued - the way I wanted it to. Since the other song has not been posted here yet here are the lyrics: MEDICINE WOMAN....

HONEY WHAT CAN I SAY, THAT SOMEONE ELSE HASNT SAID,
WHEN I THINK OF ALL MY HAPPINESS I FEEL SO MUCH DEBT..
YOU KNOW YOUVE MEANT THE WORLD TO ME WITH ALL YOU HAVE DONE,
FROM THE MOMENT I FIRST HELD YOU, I KNEW YOU WERE THE ONE...

I LAUGH WITH YOU I CRY WITH YOU WEVE BEEN THROUGH IT ALL,
MY LONELY LIFE JUST ENDED WHEN YOU ANSWERED MY CALL..
CONNECTIONS THAT I FEEL FOR YOU, I FEEL WITH NO ONE ELSE,
YOURE THE MEDICINE IVE NEEDED FOR MY OWN MENTAL HEALTH....

YOU ARE MY MEDICINE WOMAN,
YOURE MY MOUNTAINS, OCEAN, TREES, YOURE MY SHINING SUN...
YOURE THE FIRE IN MY HEART THAT GETS ME THROUGH EACH DAY,
THE LIFE IVE KNOWN WITH YOU IS THE ANSWER TO MY PRAYERS..
SOMEHOW YOU ARE MORE BEAUTIFUL WITH EACH PASSING HOUR,
IN MY DESERT FULL OF DROUGHT, YOU ARE MY RAIN SHOWER..
MY FOUNDATION, YOURE MY WIFE,
DEVOTED MOTHER OF MY CHILD,
AND ALL THAT I CAN SAY HONEY,
THANKS FOR BEING IN MY LIFE...
YOUR NATIVE SPIRITS SOARING LIKE AN EAGLE IN THE SKY,
EVERY TIME IT TOUCHES ME I FEEL SO WARM AND HIGH..
A SENSE OF BLISS AND WONDER WHICH EACH WARM EMBRACE,
A WOMBLIKE SENSE OF COMFORT KNOWING NO TIME OR SPACE..

THIS LAST VERSE NOW APPROACHING I DONT KNOW WHAT TO SAY,
EXCEPT A HUMBLED SENSE OF GRATITUDE FOR WHAT I FEEL TODAY..
I ONCE FELT IMPRISONED, BUT YOUVE BURST OPEN THE DOOR,
AS ONE DECADE NOW APPROACHES I JUST PRAY FOR MANY MORE..
