Amber Hark Our whole family loves this trio. You can't help but smile (and start tapping your foot-which always leads my 7 year old into a little jig). Beautiful, clear vocals in perfect harmony. Love the lyrics and instruments. This is a group I hope will continue to create music for a long while. Favorite track: Making A Fool (live off the floor).

Tell me that you love me one more time, I love the look you get in your eyes We'll slow dance on the front porch tonight The stars can be our guiding lights I will weave flowers into my hair No need for music when we live out here The frogs will sing a symphony for two While you've got me grinning like a fool. Made a promise, gonna see it through For better or worse, darling, I won't leave you They can take my money, take my coat But they cannot take what I cling to most I can live off spaghetti in tomato sauce As long as at the table, you're the one across Made a promise, gonna see it through For better or worse, darling, I won't leave you We could make our home out of a motel room For better or worse, darling, I won't leave you Honey we're so broke, some say our life's a joke But I won't let all that talk define us I chose you for your heart, on mine you've made your mark Now nothing can come between us Made a promise, gonna see it through For better or worse, darling, I won't leave you Til we're old and our cracked lips turn blue For better or worse, darling, For better or worse, darling, For better or worse, darling, I won't leave you.

Soft morning light flickering through the window Birds on branches singing out a tune Cool fall breeze sighing through the poplar trees And you, my dear, smiling in your sleep Don't let go yet Hold fast, hold strong Hold on You say things that can make my heart race I should know better than to fall You move me, rattle me, and comfort me And then tell me you're not ready In this peace, I can hear your heart sounds Buried deep beneath your lungs Soon you'll wake, the words will drown the beats your heart makes My own heart will move on its own But don't let go yet Hold fast, hold strong Hold on, ooo, hold on, ooo Soft morning light flickering through the window Geese on air calling out their song Falling leaves shadowing my restless sleep And you, my dear, far away in dreams Leave me now to be.

Crocus 04:02
Chickadees dare the snow to thaw The sun gives a cautious hello The crunch of my boots is heard no more Exiting my long winter home Those that know smile patiently So as not to jinx the spell But each morning comes sooner than the last And I know you're out there somehow You are the first pop of colour on frozen tundra hills Finally the season begins, but only when you give the call Bees will benefit from your golden heart And mine in turn overflows At airplanes way up in a cloudless sky A place much too high for you to grow You are a small sight to see And so often ignored or trampled But small though you are, you cut through winter's storm Whispering words of hope. You are the first pop of colour on frozen tundra hills Finally the season begins, but only when you give the call I sense spring in the air Hills are calling me to them I see you cutting through frost An oracle of the season to come I'm glad that you have found this valley To be my escape from the winter that consumes the year Crocus, I'm glad that you're here. You are the first pop of colour on frozen tundra hills Finally the season begins, but only when you give the call Only when you give the call Only when you give the call.

If I wasnʼt me Iʼd be a willow tree Iʼd wave my pretty branches for you Invite you up to nestle at my heart And cool you off with drops of morning dew If I were a flower Iʼd be queen Anneʼs lace Climbing up the mountain side Iʼd offer you the softest place to rest Whenever you might need some time to hide away oh oh oh Letʼs walk barefoot through the grass today Watch for thistles always keep me safe Other roads just arenʼt so nice You are my one of a kind Letʼs you and me take the easy way some time If I were a mushroom growin in the wild Iʼd be the biggest mushroom you ever saw And if you were cold and tired from the day Iʼd be the perfect spot for you to thaw your bones If I were a sunbeam floating on the wind Iʼd make a beeline straight to where you are Iʼd wrap you up in comfort and in warmth And youʼd never have to fear Iʼd be too far away oh oh oh Letʼs walk barefoot through the grass today Watch for thistles always keep me safe Other roads just arenʼt so nice, You are my one of a kind Letʼs you and me take the easy way some time Letʼs you and me take the easy way this time.

Tree Girl 04:20
When I was a little girl, we took a road trip Down along the coastline I felt sorry for the people trapped by cement And stood in awe of a single redwood tree Rooted down miles below my little feet Trunk as big as thirteen of little me Grandpa built a treehouse, and I would sing, "I love the city, but God's voice I hear in leaves." I drove out to the country to see loved ones Autumn, and the air was crisp Poplar trees, golden leaves falling sweetly down I reached my hand up to grab one Rooted down, the opposite of me Branches reaching up to the sky, just to breathe Sunlight kisses on my cheek and I'm complete I love the city, but God's voice I hear in leaves One day I will live among the trees My soul will make leaves grow, such beauty.

July 03:43
Golden fields sing their sweet lullabies Hushing my tired soul to sleep You in my mindʼs eye walk sturdy and sure Searching me out yours to keep Arm in arm and steps matching steps Sun kissing our thirsty skin When allʼs said and done will you still be my friend No matter the mess that weʼre in Warm saskatoon air Blows light through my soft uncombed hair Strong arms around me in all that I do July, July how I do love you Row me gently and row me so sweet Take me out of my darkest abyss My own Hosea to have and to hold And to steal me away with a kiss Warm saskatoon air That blows light through my soft uncombed hair Strong arms around me in all that I do July, July how I do love you If you ask the question I will answer you We will be made beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful In warm saskatoon air That blows light through my soft uncombed hair Strong arms around me in all that I do July, July how I do love you

Oh I'll twine with my mingles and waving black hair With the roses so red and the lilies so fair And the myrtles so bright with the emerald dew The pale and the leader and eyes look like blue I will dance I will sing and my laugh shall be gay I will charm every heart in his crown I will sway When I woke from my dreaming my idols were clay All portions of love had all blown away Oh he taught me to love him and promised to love And to cherish me over all others above How my heart is now wondering no misery can tell He's left me no warning no words of farewell Oh he taught me to love him and called me his flower That was blooming to cheer him through life's dreary hour How I long to see him and regret the dark hour He's gone and neglected this pale wildwood flower

I will comfort you if you want me to But I will let you go if you're moving too damn slow Take me out on dates, we stay up way too late Tell me that you love me, but you can't commit, baby Oo, making a fool out of me Oo, works only once, honey The first time around I gave you my heart and you let me down I picked myself back up, you're still staring at the mud There's a place in hell for heartbreakers and ne'er-do-wells You're heading down that road, you have a choice don't you know Oo, making a fool out of me Oo, works only once, honey You're so sweet and kind, I see you try and it makes me smile Tell me I'm not some game, that when you win me you'll love me the same I'm still head over feet, without you I feel incomplete But this girl is wise, so don't think I'll compromise. Oo, making a fool out of me, Oo, making a fool works only once Make up your mind, honey.
