River Girl
Words: Jamie Field. Music: Maria Milewska
This misty morning, see it rising from the river,
And the path down to the levee’s jeweled with dew-drops strewn from heaven,
See me shiver in the cold, cold air
And the flotsam’s drifting past me like so many bad-news dreams
Is the world so full of wonder or as pretty as it seems?
See me shiver in the cold, cold air
And the sun beats down on the river,
It’s a mirror shining back into the sky
Goes on forever and I’m waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting…..
Out on the water, feel it moving like a lover
Caught between the pain of guilt and love of guilty pleasure,
See me shiver in the cold, cold air,
And the sun beats down on the river,
It’s a mirror shining back into the sky
Goes on forever and I’m dreaming, dreaming, dreaming, dreaming, dreaming, dreaming…..
This misty morning, I pull you from the river,
More beautiful than I am, but I’m me and I’m still breathing
See me shiver in the cold, cold air.....

Dark, angry, heartfelt...some of these lyrics are hard to read, but there is something valedictory about the journey they take you on, if you are prepared to go.
Rachel's songs are not for the faint-hearted but that voice...how can you NOT listen?
Dark beauty, like being strangled by a velvet glove.
And all the while Jon's playing and arrangements are the perfect accompaniment. His melodies carry Rachel's lyrics with subtlety and suppleness. Mike Ashton
