This is track is a culmination of the psychedelic Blues that my Dad listened to, and Motown which my Mom loved. The Motown influence grew in to Southern Soul for me, so I had Tina Turner, Curtis Mayfield , Marvin Gaye , and Cold Blood in my head on this one. This was fun! First time I had ever tried out a wah wah peddle, which my friend Eric Manegold so generously gave to me. The ripping solo was done by my dear friend Kevin Fallon. Becky Fallon, his wife, was one of the Dirty Girls in Seattle. So was Susan Apple Manegold (the other half of Eric) Anne Leatherman added the bottom :)
This ladies brought to life the harmonies from the album.
We would take the music to the Bluebird Cafe in Nashville..and we did!
lyrics
V1- You got me under your quaint little spell you sure can tell
Roll roll like thunder, across the dream, across the dream
Don’t hide yourself away
Chorus- High on her perch, A woman of love is at work
If her stare don’t make you back down,
she’ll give you a worm from her ground, give you a worm from her ground
V2- You got me going. Follow which way to the sky?
Follow down, follow ‘round
Any way is quite alright, any way it’s quite alright,
Don’t hide yourself away
Chorus
Time change- In the years that go by so fast
You know she gave a love to last, yes she did, she did
But oh from high on her perch she looked down on you she gave to you
She gave, but now she’s gone, she’s gone away, she’s gone away
You know sometimes, sometimes life just brings on too much
But you got no choice you might as well just face up try, try, try
And let those little things just roll on by
You have to, you must but then oh she gets down on her knees and ask
for it to stop just for one one minute you see
Well there’s too much pain, there’s so much, there’s too much pain
So much to share, so much to share, with a gust and mighty wind some
day you will be free a bird on her perch,
A bird on her perch is a woman at work

Lisa Marshall is on the fast track of positioning herself as one Austin’s staple female artists.” -Steven Blythe, Austin Post...more
