Girl on the Mountain, Boy on the Beach

This folk song in DADGAD is my favorite to play from the new record, a contemplation about the refugee crisis.

“Girl on the Mountain, Boy in the Beach”

A girl climbed the tallest mountain,
And the light from the sun in the sky
She found a juvenile traveler
He was watching the moon die, the moon die

The girl ran down the mountain
The boy lay down in the beach
Passion gave in to power
The sun and the moon never reach

Did you need a little hope this morning?
Did you need a little hope, did you cry?

A father readied a journey
A mother made up her mind
Children fleeing their country
Can you give sight to the blind, the blind?

A girl ran down the mountain
A boy lay down in the beach
Children fleeing their country
The sun and the moon never reach

Did you need a little hope this morning?
Did you need a little hope, did you cry?

This song was a 2016 Grassy Hill Songwriting Competition finalist, performed at CT Folk.
