	Story Behind the Song "Earthbound" captures the beauty and loneliness of the small town in upstate New York where Bierhorst grew up. Originally written while she was living far away in California, she locked it away for safekeeping until she had a group of related songs, released in February 2003 as a CD of the same name. Lyrics This sweet town Often mistaken for the moon With names like Beauty To hide the humble truth This sweet town Has a hole a mile wide You can lose your reflection If you're not that strong CHORUS This fading light It's gonna fail us if we let it Slip away forget us These stolen stars They're just like puppets on a string But the sky don't mean a thing When you're tied to the ground When you're earthbound This sweet town Can pick you clean just like a hawk Hovering at twilight Feasting on loose talk This sweet town Where the water tastes like wine It can make you drunk It can surely make you blind CHORUS My sweetheart I found him nestled in the grass With a handful of answers So I never have to ask But each new growth How it roots me to my home It can reach up and strangle me So I never walk alone CHORUS
