As I look across the sea and imbibe all those who are lost...

Passing by the little roadside church in Billy's Bay one Saturday night, I heard coming from within a woman's soloing.
I felt it aching across seas and souls, like waiting for a response from beyond.
In remembering and hearing this song by Mary Black, I & I know that depth of expressive feeling never departs us.

Thank you Miss Millie.

It is the bawling season, nuh?
From a woman's heart have you heard "after all the journey's made and the journey's yet to come...I'm just wondering how we know where we belong"?

Between Here and Gone by Mary Chapin Carpenter

Tonight the moon came up, it was nearly full
Way down here on earth, I could feel it's pull
The weight of gravity or just the lure of life
Made me want to leave my only home tonight

Now I'm just wonderin' how we know where we belong
Is it in a photograph or a dashboard poet's song?
Will I have missed my chance to right some ancient wrong
Should I find myself between here and gone?

Now I could grab my keys, clear out in my truck
With every cent on board bringing me their luck
An' I could drive too fast like a midnight sleeve
As if there was a way to outrun the grief

Now I'm just wonderin' how we know where we belong
In a song that's left behind, in the dream I couldn't wake from
Could I've felt the brush of a soul that's passing on
Somewhere in between, here and gone?

Up above me, wayward angels
A blur of wings and grace
One for courage, one for safety
One for just in case

I thought a light went out but now the candle shines
I thought my tears wouldn't stop then I dried my eyes
And after all of this, the truth that holds me here
Is that this emptiness is something not to fear

Yeah, I'll keep wondering how we know where we belong
After all the journey's made and the journey's yet to come
When I feel like giving up instead of going on
Somewhere in between

Yeah, I'm just wondering how we know where we belong
Is it in the arc of the moon leaving shadows on the lawn?
In the path of fireflies and a single bird at dawn
Singing in between, here and gone

Thanks Juici-Ju for reminding me of Eleanor McEvoy's songwriting, with "Only a Woman's Heart", which I believe goes back to the '80s and has many performers covering it.
Eleanor is one of Ireland's finest singer/songwriters, and funny enough her mood, humour, story telling, and "look" would fit right in at Treasure Beach (honorary celtic-scots) with strong women of intelligence and vital opinions.

Her website: www.eleanormcevoy.com/biography/index.html
There's a nice beach foto on the new album cover.
