L U N A T A L K with Eva Moon

Sibling Revelry

My dad sent me a DVD he had transferred from a pile of old home movies. I’ve been playing the Lone Arranger of clips (as a friends puts it). Here’s a walk through time, 1956 to 1963. The little girls are me, later my sister Donna and near the end, the baby, Pam. The song is Fly Away from my first CD, Something’s Brewing

Fly Away
© 2003 Lyrics: Eva Moon, music trad.

I remember leaving home
I heard tomorrow calling me
Poised for flight, I couldn’t see
My mother’s eyes watching me

Now my children look ahead
On the edge, they won’t stay
And they don’t look back at me
I wish them well and turn away

Seasons change and years go by
Children grow and summers die
Winter holds the seeds of spring
And the night surrenders to sunrise

I’ve left my former self behind
Her time is past, I won’t delay
And I won’t look back at her
I wish her well and turn away

Now I’m free to spread my wings
I hear tomorrow calling me
On the edge and poised for flight
I wish you well and fly away
