1. Here I Am
(Emmylou Harris)
I am standing by the river
I will be standing here forever
Tho you're on the other side
My face you still can see
Why won't you look at me
Here I am
I am searching thru the canyon
it is your name that I am calling
Tho you're so far away
I know you hear my plea
Why won't you answer me
Here I am
I am in the blood of your heart
The breath of your lung
Why do you run for cover
You are from the dirt of the earth
And the kiss of my mouth
I have always been your lover
Here I am
I am the promise never broken
And my arms are ever open
In this harbor calm and still
I will wait until
Until you come to me
Here I am

2. I Will Dream
(Emmylou Harris & Kate McGarrigle & Anna McGarrigle)
In my imagination
You are my dear companion
And I'm the one you cling to
And your voice still calls my name
Before your heart began to wander
And mine was torn asunder
Before the fairer and the younger
Before the cryin' game
All those girls with their long dark tresses
Waltzing out in their Sunday dresses
All their sweet soft warm caresses
Cannot hold you like I do
And though you say you do not love me
And your dreams are never of me
I will dream my dream of you
In my dreams you are the swallow
Coming back to Capistrano
And I'm the sound of the bells you follow
But in this world dreams don't come true
Still when you're lost out in the desert
When your fire's a dying ember
The last light you remember
Will be the light I shed for you
Mine is no ordinary star love
I see exactly where you are love
And no one else could shine that far love
To bring you safely through
And though you say you do not want me
And made no promises to haunt me
I will dream my dream of you
The sorrows flow down like a fountain
Over the miles beyond our countin'
More than the flowers of the mountain
Or the raindrops in the sea
But if Heaven's just a dreaming
Surely my love will be redeeming
And you will dream your dream of me

3. Little Bird
(Emmylou Harris & Kate McGarrigle & Anna McGarrigle)
If I had a bird a little bird
I would teach that bird to sing your name
Prettiest song that you have ever heard
And your indifferent heart I will claim
So be off my little bird
Fly away, fly away
And when my love you see
Only then my little bird
Cry away, cry away and bring that heart to me
If I had a moon in the sky
I would light the world and pull the tide
And when the moon is full like my heart
It will surely pull you to my side
But in the darkest night I pine away
Pine away until your face I see
So throw your light my lovely moon
Shine away, shine away and pull his heart to me
If I had a wagon made of gold
Pretty painted horses numbered four
With a silver harness I would hitch them up
And drive that wagon to your door
And if my hand you choose to hold
Ride away, ride away with the pretty horses four
But darlin' if you heart's still cold
Hide away, hide away I'll trouble you no more
Trouble you no more

4. Time in Babylon
(Emmylou Harris & Jill Cunniff)
Five-lane highway danger zone
SUV and a speaker phone
You need that chrome to get you home
Doin' time in Babylon
Cluster mansion on the hill
Another day in Pleasantville
You don't like it take a pill
Doin' time in Babylon
In the land of the proud and free
You can sell your soul and your dignity
For fifteen minutes on TV
Doin' time in Babylon
So suck the fat, cut the bone
Fill it up with silicone
Everybody must get cloned
Doin' time in Babylon
Little Boy Blue come blow your horn
The crows are in the corn
The morning sky is red and falling down
The piper's at the till
He's coming for the kill
Luring all our children underground in Babylon
We came from apple pie and mom
Thru Civil Rights and Ban the Bomb
To Watergate and Vietnam
Hard times in Babylon
Rallied 'round the megaphone
Gave it up, just got stoned
Now it's Prada, Gucci and Ferron
Doin' time in Babylon
Get results, get 'em fast
We're ready if you got the cash
Someone else will be laughin' last
Doin' time in Babylon
So put that conscience on the shelf
Keep the best stuff for yourself
Let the rest fight over what is left
Doin' time in Babylon
Little Boy Blue come blow your horn
The crows are in the corn
The morning sky is red and falling down
Let your song of healing spark
A way out of this dark
Lead us to a higher and a holy ground

5. Can You Hear Me Now
(Emmylou Harris & Malcolm Burn)
O the walls are closin' in
I can feel it in my bones
Like water risin' up to my chin
Another long night to be alone
I could go out on the town
Talk too much and laugh too loud
If I'm already on my way down
I might as well just work the crowd
Can you hear me now
O the stories I could tell
Sometimes I really hit my stride
We make our own Heaven and our own Hell
Tryin' to get across to the other side
But everyday ends up the same
One step up, two steps back
Like some old silent movie frame
Zoom in close, then fade to black
Can you hear me now
How did the load get to be so heavy
I used to wear my trouble like a crown
A bad flood's poundin' on the levee
And I'm gonna need some help
To hold my ground
But I'm sinkin' like a stone
To where in solitude this life I'll spend
In the coldest place I've ever known
I'm here just waitin’ until the end
I send up my S.O.S.
A message in a bottle set out to sea
It just reads "Soul in distress"
But nobody ever got back to me
Can you hear me now

6. Strong Hand (For June)
(Emmylou Harris)
He was a tall man
Raised up from the fields out pickin' cotton
In a hard land
Where the ground was poor and the wood was rotten
But when he saw her
All those bad times were forgotten
And he believed, he believed
She was the strong hand
A good sister and a daughter
Lookin' for one man
To love the way that her mama'd taught her
And when she saw him
She thanked God for what he'd brought her
She believed, she believed
And it's a miracle
How one soul finds another
Just one miracle
Is all it took my brother
For I have seen them
As they walk this world together
And I believe, I believe
It's a sad thing
When one must leave the other
And fly up where the voice rings
Out with all the multitudes that gather
But for a short while
Down here no song ever sounded sweeter
And we believed, we believed
For it's a miracle
How one soul finds another
Just one miracle
Is all it took my brother
And I will see them
Someday they'll walk again together
I believe, I believe
This I believe, I believe

7. Jupiter Rising
(Emmylou Harris & Paul Kennerley)
Why don't you call me
Do you think I won't answer
Jupiter's risin'
And the moon is in cancer
You been down in the hunger baby
I been around there too
Tonight you could be in the arms of
The arms of a woman who loves you
You got your questions
Maybe I got an answer
Or just the hands of a healer
And the feet of a dancer
Yeah it's all in the wrists now baby
And when the aim is true
There'll be no blink of the eyes baby
The eyes of this woman who loves you
Heaven's gettin' nearer
Transmission gettin' clearer
Now my love
Stars are fallin' over the ocean
Come on and show a little emotion now
My love
Why don't you call me
You know I'm gonna answer
Temperatures risin'
And the moon is in cancer
There's a road you can ride now baby
Out to that wild and blue
It runs right thru the heart of
The heart of this woman who loves you
Jupiter risin'

8. O Evangeline
(Emmylou Harris)
O Evangeline you been gone so long
And for a time it seemed
Every road you took turned wrong
But a second chance would come
With each new bridge you burned
I know you squandered some
But then from some you learned
And the point of rescue well
You passed that long ago
O but to hear you tell it was
Just another part of the show
O Evangeline your faith shone blind and true
We raise our glass and sing
Of you Evangeline
O Evangeline you with no kith or kin
The nights so hard and mean
You shed them like a skin
For you were always strong
When the bad slid down to worse
You still had that song
It was your blessing and your curse
But in your tongue
There is no word for home
There'll be no one
To roll away the stone
O Evangeline you have been a prisoner here
Bread and roses we shall bring
To you Evangeline
O Evangeline what are you fighting for
You stayed out in that ring
When nobody's even keepin' score
But round by round you earned
Your stumble into grace
Still with every turn the world
Becomes a sadder place
It swallows up the ones
You have loved the most
So you sleep with none
You wake with ghosts
O Evangeline
You have salted with your tears
Every lonely mile you've seen
Thru the years Evangeline
It's a fatal shore
You now wash upon
So weary of the war
And no longer young
O Evangeline your voice
Risin' sweet and clear
We close our eyes and dream
Of you Evangeline

10. Lost Unto This World
(Emmylou Harris & Daniel Lanois)
I was once some mother's darlin'
Some daddy's little girl
More precious than the ruby
More cherished than the pearl
My heart was full of mercy
And my forehead full of curl
Now I am nothing and am lost unto this world
I am lost unto this world...
They herded me like cattle
Cut me down like corn
Took me from my babies
Before they could be born
You can blame it on the famine
You can blame it on the war
You can blame it on the devil
It don't matter anymore
I am lost unto this world...
I was tortured in the desert
I was raped out on the plain
I was murdered by the high way
And my cries went up in vain
My blood is on the mountain
My blood is on the sand
My blood runs in the river
That now washes thru their hands
I am lost unto this world...
Can I get no witness this unholy tale to tell
Was God the only one there watching
And weeping as I fell
O you among the living
Will you remember me at all
Will you write my name out
With a single finger scrawl
Across a broken window
In some long forgotten wall
That goes stretching out forever
Where the tears of heaven fall
I am lost unto this world...

11. Cup of Kindness
(Emmylou Harris)
You gave yourself up to the mystery
And sailed the oceans looking for
The secret of the key
To unlock a truth that you may never find
For it was in a cup of kindness all the time
You fee! the thirst
But none can make you drink
The answer's waiting for you here but
It's not what you think
It won't steal your soul or leave you blind
It was just a cup of kindness all the time
And when Mother Mary finally comes to call
She could pass right thru your heart
And leave no trace at all
While you were reaching for
The sacred and divine
She was standing right beside you
All the time
And the emptiness
You can't seem to fill
Beauty fades and pleasures cannot
Take away the chill
And the glamour lures you down into a lie
O but the cup of kindness
Never will run dry
You hear the vandals
Howlin' down your walls
And arm yourself against the ones
Who want to see you fall
Till some Holy Grail reveals
The grand design
Well it was in a cup of kindness
All the time

To all the musicians, singers, and technical folks on this album, I give my deepest thanks. Making a record is like sailing a boat and it takes many hands to keep it afloat. I couldn't have reached shore without their hard work and enthusiasm.
Malcolm and I invited Daniel Lanois to come to Nashville for a few days and put his unmistakable stamp on some of these tracks. It was a joy and an inspiration for me to see these two long time friends and collaborators hunkered down over a hot console again. I know Malcolm joins me in thanking Dan for the generosity of his time and remarkable talent, and his tireless energy in pursuit of musical innovation and excellence on "Jupiter Rising," "Can You Hear Me Now," and especially for bringing "Lost Unto This World" into the world.
Thanks to David Bither, Bob Hurwitz, and everyone at my wonderful label, Nonesuch, and my manager Ken Levitan for putting us together. Thanks also to the folks at Almo Irving; to Lisa Cain for introducing me to the joys of Los Incas, which inspired "Little Bird"; to Linda Ronstadt and Jane Siberry for the lovely notes and good conversation.
Songwriting does not come easily to me, and to those who joined me in the cage, I thank you: Jill Cunniff, who takes me places I could never go on my own; Kate and Anna McGarrigle, who have been an inspiration for almost thirty (!) years; and Paul Kennerley, who has always believed in, and continues to encourage, my efforts.
Many thanks also to dear Buddy and Julie Miller for always being there, especially to Julie for bearing witness to "Here I Am."
And to Malcolm Burn, our captain throughout it all, who clapped, whistled, sang, stomped, all the while pulling the songs out of me, thank you for keeping your hands firmly on the wheel.
The ship has landed.
Love,
Emmy
I simply have to say that working with Emmylou has been the high point thus far of my career. I have never worked with someone so talented, yet so open-minded, still with their instincts and enthusiasm so intact. And it has been a joy to see her grow as a writer into this album. This has been a true labour of love and I have poured all my heart and soul into it. She deserves it!!
Love,
Malcolm Burn
