Holly Near

Couple of Friends

Too tired to sleep after a long day's work at the Augusta Heritage Arts Workshop, my weary fellow teachers and I holed up in an old farm-house and wrote this song.

Stole away like jeweling thieves to swim round the waterfall
Dark crept around us, still we found our way
The movers are melting at the racer's end
I'm spending the night with a couple of friends

Long days and helping hands, songs for slowing down
The babies are sleeping, the food's put away
The movers are melting at the racer's end
I'm spending the night with a couple of friends

Home, everybody home
For the moment we breathe in the family
That we have created from love, from a lifeline
Women loving women and men loving men
Women loving men, people trying again
As we work for a future so that all that we are
Can come home

Holly Near has always been one of my favourite singers. Women`s musick, as it was when I knew it (mid-1980`s) often told stories that I, a gay male teenager in Texas, could relate. I found very few male singers to listen, but the female singers were plentiful. And for that, I will always be grateful.
