lyrics

Hold my hand as I leave the hide
Shield the sun so the snow don’t blind
Be mine
All alone am I
All mothers sing themselves a sweet lullaby
To conquer the quiet

Calf left home and lost the herd
Read my lips as I speak the words
Be mine
All alone am I
All children sing themselves a sweet lullaby
To conquer the quiet

Polish no stone, hinder no fire
Settle no bird on the telephone wire
Be mine
All alone am I
All lovers sing themselves a sweet lullaby
To conquer the quiet

Look to your bed
Blankets undone
Saltwater dry slow
Waiting for sun
The harder one tries to sleep
The harder sleep seems to come

Look to your coat
Still hanging around
Gathering leaves
There on the ground
Pockets still full of receipts, loose change,
And a match that you found

Tell me, my love,
Do you ever slow?
Down on that river
Down on that road
Will you find what you seek or dig deep
‘Til you’re rolling in fool’s gold?

Long Mama Milwaukee, Wisconsin

Long Mama’s music blisters with the heart and grit of someone who has lost hard, loved harder, and licked her burns until they stung then silvered. In a drafty attic just west of the Milwaukee River she grew up on, you’ll find songwriter Kat Wodtke (Wood-key) raking through notebooks in search of a salve: words, stories, and sounds to temper the dumpster fires we never mean to light. ... more
