Pelican 04:38
lyrics

I saw a pelican swimming up stream I saw a pelican swimming up stream I think he knows something more than me Down on the Mississippi You see all kinds of birds The song of the pelican I’d never heard Even with wings You got to land If you’re always up high You’ll never see the sky So take your time Let her roll on by Dip your hand in the water Let her soul fly Instrumental buildup walk-down thing I saw a pelican swimming up stream I saw a pelican swimming up stream I think he knows something more than me Grandpa was a riverboat’n man Grandpa was a riverboat’n man He built a concrete house with his own two hands Gramma’s dress covered in paint Gramma’s dress covered in paint Her colors put food on our plates Even with wings You got to land If you’re always up high You’ll never see the sky So take your time She’ll Roll on by Dip your hand in the the water Let her soul fly

When I rise I want to see your eyes When I rise I want to see your eyes Its the way, oh the way you look at me You look at me When I rise I want you by my side When I rise I want you by my side Its the way, oh the way You hold me You hold me When I walk I want to hear you talk When I walk I want to hear you talk Its the sound oh, the sound Of your voice Of your voice All these things Set me free The simplicity Of your company Feet on the ground the world Turning round Peacefully, peacefully When you’re with me When I rise I want to see your eyes When I rise I want to see your eyes Its the way, oh the way you look at me You look at me

Pissin on the moon Pissin on the moon Wish you were here with me Pissin on the moon Pissin on the moon Pissin on the moon Kissin and pissin on the moon Called up Neil Armstrong said how do you do? Where you goin today? Who you bringing with you? One serious thing I gotta know How do you do it And where do you go Did you bring your spoon? Pissin on the moon Pissin on the moon Pissin on the moon Wish you were here with me Pissin on the moon Pissin on the moon Pissin on the moon Kissin and pissin on the moon You said im crazy I said why Went to the kitchen and baked an apple pie Went to the junk yard Brought some duck tape Bought a chevy 57 and I shot her into space Pissin on the moon Pissin on the moon Wish you were here with me Pissin on the moon Pissin on the moon Pissin on the moon Kissin and pissin on the moon

The River's Gone 04:20
lyrics
buy track
River’s coming up The old trail is lost Don’t know where to set foot She was there so long River’s coming up And we can’t see far The smoke in the west Blacks out the stars The world is changing Faster than our minds can bend The levee holds the water The water holds our sins When the rivers’ gone We can’t wash away our sin X3 A city of love We must build again A flood is what we got Great fires to the west The cool air is leaving This world a hot mess A storm is knocking Will the levees last? I look out from the city To see the boats fly past I’m sorry for the future Mad at the past Stuck in the present Tryin’ to make every moment last Love your mother Your father and your friends Find kindness in your heart To seek no revenge When the rivers’ gone We can’t wash away our sin X2 A city of love We must build again

about

Air-Cool Jenny is composed of Helen Rose and Kramer Sanguinetti. It was the trick of a warm late summer’s eve in New York City that Kramer and Helen first played music together well into the wee hours of the morning. They lived in the great city of New Orleans, and found joy frolicking with the creative spirits of the swamp. Presently, they reside on Art St. in an odd rural area outside of Los Angeles.
Helen's dynamic and powerful voice mixed with Kramer's golden-toned tenor creates an incomparable blend conveying heartfelt emotions to philosophical musings. Their harmonies reflect their shared experience -- finding truth in song as young human beings. As adults they share the universal language of music deeply. Inspired by Appalachian folk music, blues, country, jazz and funk, Air-Cool Jenny has an extraordinary sound of its own. Songs composed by this duo explore the wonders of the world through deep reflection and poetry born from real life events. Their latest EP, which was recorded in Breaux Bridge, Louisiana with members of the Lost Bayou Ramblers.
