about

Dr. Harris, in my college days, used to talk about the idea of sound vibrations living on infinitely, that music never really disappears from the universe. I applied that to someone I sang with in Dubuque this week, Sister Mary Carol Lita. I don't have room for her great stories and wonderful wisdom here, but in keeping with my vow to write the songs right in front of me, here's a song for my new friend. She's winding up her life surrounded by the comfort of a life of melody and words.

lyrics

Number Forty Nine, December 6th, 2012

Carol Lita

Lita
Carol Lita you find
All things come back in time
Hear the night wind
Sing songs to your soul
Sweetest old songs you know

And on Sundays
Just a little girl, you'd be found
High in the orchards over town
Singing
Singing with the church bells below
Singing every song you know

And what becomes of these vibrations
These clear constellations
In a universe that collects every sound
Hanging in the heavens and now they're coming
Back around for

Lita
And all these years can't disguise
How the songs still sing in your sleepy eyes
Hope I go
To these places you know
Sing your songs with the church bells below

So beautiful they ring
So beautiful they shine
So beautiful they hang in the air
Forever they are waiting for you there

For Lita
Carol Lita we find
Love returns in it's time

about

James Hersch Minneapolis, Minnesota

I live on this piece of prairie. I'm passionate and dedicated to writing songs in hopes of singing them for people. I don't think I could continue without both ends of that process. Create then hope. It's here I write songs, and here I wait to sing them for others. ... more
