lyrics

This is the loneliest town
Something green you might’ve seen
A long long time ago

This is the snowiest town
You’d catch the sight of something white
A long long time ago
Gray the moment it touches the snow

oooh

There’s an island in the river
There’s an island made of sand
You could swim in the waters a long long time ago
A long long time ago

This is the loneliest town
Something green you might’ve seen
A long long time ago

There’s an island in the river
There’s an island made of sand
You could swim in the waters a long long time ago

Ooh

There’s money in the waters
Cherries, diamonds and hearts
You could spin them round and round honey

A long long lonely time
money in the waters

about

Louise Kelly Downers Grove, Illinois

Timeless. Soulful. Emotional. Colorful. Mother Nature infuses the music of Louise Kelly with the songs of birds and prairie breezes. Rooted and rising in Illinois, watered by the sounds from a cloud of Stevie Wonder, Emily King, James Blake, Chopin, Lake Street Dive, Led Zeppelin. Not hiding it under a bushel (no!) Music is light. Listen for the sunshine. And shine on, you crazy diamond. ... more
