    This is a good old, factory made & conventionally printed CD; which is to say it's not handprinted by Eleanor but it's got all the songs on there plus liner notes. It actually wasn't made in a factory it was made up in Maine by our friends at Crooked Cove who have a small CD making operation.

lyrics

The stars have gone bland
because of the street lamps
down in the subway
sits the tunnel man
he only looks ahead
he does not see me
but a little song drips
from his barnacle teeth
and touches
touches me
He lived in Memphis as a boy

Out on the roof
deep in the evening
I watch the heron
still and stately blue
she only looks ahead
she does not see me
but a long call
tears from her arrow beak
and reaches
reaches me
I used to sit there as a girl

One of the many lives to take place
on this rock
is a thought I saw flicker on your face
your head and this rock both internally burn
I know you have heavy things to carry
even so your eyes are cool and sweet
in my arms your head is planetary
I am like a cave where you retreat
your words fill my room
you’re safe but you can’t see where you are
I beckon your whisper to my ear
I keep it in a jar
I keep it in a jar
I keep it in a jar...
mhmmmm
