| This song is about the Trail of Tears. I wrote it imagining that I was a woman walking this terrible journey westward not so many years ago at the orders of Andrew Jackson, and I was remembering when the land was truly free, and so was I. This spent two weeks at #1 on the Native American charts in February 2003. Click the song title of any of these songs to read the lyrics and song stories. |

| "In her Backstreet Café she shares a dream or two and finds a way to breathe simple words like "pretty" and "crazy" with such intensity that a 5 minute cup of coffee quickly becomes an hours stay just to hear what she says next." --Chapman James, Besonic.com

for the selfish sun
while I'm here all alone

| (November 2002) VERY Slow. This is the fairy tale where the girl wants to be rescued so badly that she'll settle for a cheap dimestore cowboy instead of waiting for that handsome charming prince to come and take her to happily-ever-after land. |
