From the recording Tahra Time
A song written for a dear friend of ours named Tahra, who is one of those people who shines with a genuine sparkle and love of life. The artwork for this single is an amazing piece by Boise artist, Jodi Miller as a part of the Art as Song, Song as Art program. Jodi was given the song, and created the painting directly from the lyrics, having no actual image of the songs inspiration to refer to. Amazingly, the final piece looks so much like the actual Tahra, that the painting was purchased by Tahra's husband and now hangs on their wall. What a compliment to the song, the artist, and most importantly, the person who inspired it all.
Lyrics
She's a home town girl
With a California twirl
Loving with abandon
Laughing like a child
Flying higher than a kite
She's deeper than the ocean
Set's the world in motion
With a smile
Jewels on her jacket
Flowers on her jeans
Buckles on her boots
Jingling
In a melody sweet to set your feet to
And everywhere that she goes
She's leaving little rainbows
And every ordinary moment takes a shine
In Tahra Time
Nothing's hidden nothing's fake
A kaleidoscope of heartbreak and joy
Ever spinning
Try to write her in a song
Try to paint her in a picture
But how can you capture a moon beam
Repeat Chorus
