about

I wrote this song to accompany a story that a dear friend of mine and celebrated storyteller had been commisioned to tell at Festival at the Edge in 2011.

lyrics

She first came by one morning, knocking at my door.
In search of a little company, maybe a little more?
Her eyes they shone a fairytale of true love stolen away.
For when I looked into their pools I swear I heard them say:

“Goose wing, my soul still sings. I just forgotten how to fly.
But I sense in you that there’s a friend so true.
Maybe together we could try? On a goose wing".

The seasons passed and still she came. Between us grew a bond
As deep and bright as lily flowers that sit upon the pond.
I’d tell her how I miss you. She’d flap her wings of white
Until I felt you on the breeze saying “Darling, it’s alright:

Goose wing, your soul still sings. Just remember how to fly!
‘Cause I recall in you I had a friend so true,
Oh you lifted me so high - On your Goose wing”…..

Her journey isn’t over. It’s barely yet begun.
Last night I saw the goose rise up toward the setting sun.
Got to follow her direction now and take off round the world.
Tell her story everywhere and show ‘em I’m your girl.

Goose wing, my soul still sings. Just watch me as I fly!
I know in you I had a love so true.
And that won’t ever die. On a Goose wing.

On a Goose wing, forever, you and I.
