Wind in her hair I met a woman
her bike was loaded down
she was riding out
I slowed my car and I said hello
do you get it all the time
cause I feel in this heart of mine
I wanna be like you, you shining woman
She sat astride her steel steed
leaning on her handle bars she looked at me
she said you've got fire in your eyes
I can see it
life passes by if you don't seize it
then she rode away into the breeze
I watched her grow small and shimmery
Sitting in my car I felt a wonder
of a wonder take a hold of me
life's gone before you know it
and excuses come so easy to me
CHORUS
Her hair flew around her head
oh I see it when I lay awake in bed
light spilled from her eyes
like moon on a river night
CHORUS

Three voices and a caress of six-string: these apparently sparse ingredients are all Mountain Man need to whisk one away to fargone fields full of sun|starlight, soft breezes, and that particular brand of melancholy left by kinship's present passing.
A Magic Ship indeed.

Karaoke Angel is truly an unknown gem. I love how it makes me want to get up and dance. I glad to see that everyone from Mountain Man has other great projects ralithcoa
