Binoculars 01:26
Binoculars Look at me up in the sky Not sitting on a telephone wire How’d I get to be so high Winds will take me higher Binoculars watch me go Binoculars (blow winds blow) Binoculars Watch me fly Binoculars Just wave goodbye Streak across the shiny night All things are forgiven Moon is glowing cold and bright Some things are still hidden Binoculars watch me go Binoculars (blow winds blow) Binoculars Watch me fly Binoculars Just wave goodbye Give my winter love a kiss I will not forget her But summer is the one I miss I guess I love her better Binoculars watch me go Binoculars (blow winds blow) Binoculars Watch me fly Binoculars Just wave goodbye

The Zebras 03:59
The Zebras Words and Music by Carrie Ferguson It has rained for days The valley is covered with long shallow lakes The highway glitters with overjoyed rivers And the sun laughs down You and I sit up on the mountain Squinting our eyes at the water below We thought we knew every inch of this valley But now we’re not certain what it is that we know It has rained for days All the shapes that we treasured have melted away Fields and fences and baseball games All awash in the flood A great herd of zebras leaps off of the mountain Flying wingless, galloping through sky It doesn’t surprise us, we are jealous as always They make it look easy as they fall by If we can lose it all tomorrow, tomorrow Why not love today? If we can lose it all tomorrow, tomorrow Why not give it all away It has rained for days All that precious water was too much to save We will have to wait The sun has returned but she promises nothing Up on the mountain we’re watching the zebras Splash through the water in the valley below You want to swim with them and I am willing When nothing’s familiar to let it all go If we can lose it all tomorrow, tomorrow Why not love today? If we can lose it all tomorrow, tomorrow Why not give it all away

about

This record is a work in progress, an ever expanding collection of strange and rusty, rinky-dinky ramshackle, home-recorded little tunes.

about

Carrie Ferguson Northampton, Massachusetts

Carrie grew up playing an enormous upright, chocolate-brown piano. It had a darkly booming, slightly furry quality to it, like the weather in her hometown of Arcata on the North Coast of California. Ferguson credits its sonorous voice, combined with the perpetual fog and clamminess as instilling in her the baseline aesthetic of melancholic optimism that permeates her words and music today. ... more
