"Song Garden" is a euphonic collection of music which includes eight original songs and an a-cappella version of Paul Simon's "Bookends." This is truly an acoustic solo CD, featuring Marion on lead vocals and acoustic guitar, with no supporting musicians or harmony vocals. The tracks were first given life on an eight-track machine in the music room of her home in Watertown, Massachusetts. They were then professionally recorded at Kissy Pig Studios in Allston, MA.



Today I Am

Today I am
Today I am
Today I am
Today

Today I am an ocean
And you drown
Today I am an ocean
And you drown
You come up for air
And I knock you down

Today I am a river
My current takes you
Today I am a river
My current takes you
The water is cool
But the rocks they break you

Today I am the sun
An d you are naked
Today I am the sun
And you are naked
Crawling for shade,
But you never make it

Today I am a mountain,
Strong
Today I am a mountain
Strong
But a mountain
Cannot bring a friend along

Today I am the desert
Empty
Today I am a desert
Empty
And you, the swaying tree,
You offer me plenty

Today I am September, turning
Today I am September, turning
The leaves grow old
And the sky is churning

Today I am
Today I am
Today I am
Today



On My Lips

I don't want to find someone else to kiss
Kissing you is to have god on my lips

I don't want to find someone else to kiss
Kissing you is to feel love on my lips

Lips my on god like is you kissing kiss
Lips on my god like is

Lips on my god like is you kissing kiss
Lips on my god like is you



Look What You've Done

Your straight lines and your
Crooked life and your
Closed eyes and your
Sad wife and you're
So sure you own this place, but them
Sad lines on your face

Oh look what you've done, nobody won
Oh look what you've done, nobody won

You fall up and you
Climb in, and you
Welcome the
Silence, but the
Screams in your head, they keep
Showing up instead

Oh look what you've done, nobody won
Oh look what you've done, nobody won

All your sorries,
They're no good, cuz
She thought
you would
smooth out, move home but she
Wakes up alone

Oh look what you've done, nobody won
Oh look what you've done, nobody won



Over

I've been looking for
The way to the answers
Been waiting for answers
To fall from the sky
Been looking so long
I've forgot all the questions
Been running so long,
Can't remember why

So I'll dream it all again
I'll say it all again
I'll do it all again
But I will not pretend
That it ain't over
Cuz you know it's over
And the sun is coming up
And this bird is gonna fly

The baby will cry
The mother will comfort
The sinner confesses
And the preacher will pray
Some things they will break
And sometimes we fix them
Some things they will break
And they're broken to stay

So I'll dream it all again
I'll say it all again
I'll do it all again
But I will not pretend
That it ain't over
Cuz you know it's over
And the sun is coming up
And this bird is gonna fly

Before you believe
I never did love you
Before you believe
That there's rocks in my heart
Remember that life
is really for learning
Remember an end
Is also a start

So I'll dream it all again
I'll say it all again
I'll do it all again
But I will not pretend
That it ain't over
Cuz you know it's over
And the sun is coming up
And this bird is gonna fly



God's Hands

Got a life I don't understand
So I got me an alternate plan
Oh I'm gonna leave it in god's hands

This thing they call love, this thing they call pain
No one ever told me they were one in the same
Oh I'm gonna leave it in god's hands

His hands they is steady, his hands they is free
If I really want them, his hands is for me
Oh, talking about god's hands

First you make love, then you make due
Then you wonder what is wrong with you
Yep, that's how it goes

Well it looks like you love me, but it feels like you don't
I want to leave you but I know I won't
Oh, I'm gonna leave it in god's hands

Because his hands they is steady, his hands they is free
If I really want them, his hands can be for me
Oh, talking about god's hands

Talking about god's hands
Talking about god's hands
