about

Written with twenty-something Laura Mayo on my back deck overlooking Cornelia Fort Airpark, the destination Patsy Cline's plane was headed when it went down. Laura sings jazz and backup by trade, but we have common bonds, all of us, that can make us blue and lonesome. Featuring Iowa treasure Dave Moore on harmonica.

lyrics

Slow Blue Fly
©Julie Christensen and Laura Mayo


Slow blue fly in the living room hummin’

Sky so quiet like a dark storm comin’

Out the window's a world unknown

All's I know is the curtain's torn

Send me down a stronger dream

(Cause) The ones I got___ are losin steam___

Broken sign by the Trinity Southern

Never been changed by the drunken breth’ren

I sure hope that message lasts

Says "Every Saint Has A Worried Past."

It's half a mile out of my way

But I drive by there every day


A woman came by work today

Asked if I knew how to pray____

She had something in her eyes

Something I don't recognize
(solo over verse)

Slow blue fly in the living room hummin

Sky so quiet like a dark storm comin

Out the window's a world unknown

All's I know is the curtain's torn
__________
Send me down a stronger dream______
||:
(Cause) The ones I got___ are losin’ steam___
:|| ___________.
