Amame 03:45
En mis suenos En mis momentos encantados Veo tus ojos luminosos Amame como yo te amo Besame como yo te beso

Getting darker, harder to feel the light shine It's getting darker, soon it will be night time Birds nesting down, the last call of the flicker While its stripes and chevrons and polka dots fade into nothing And I don't know if I'll see you in the morning 'Cause maybe that sun won't rise again And I'll be heading off in search of, in search of that prodigal light
3.
At the Ballintubber Abbey I stood before a grave ‘Twas a man who died at 50 years young And the music his soul did save His name was Mick Cuffe, adored by friends ‘Twas writ upon the stone May you rest in peace; we love you dear – There are so many songs to sing CHORUS And all the bells did ring With the beauty you did bring May you rest in peace, we love you dear There are so many songs to sing I can see you now with friends all round And you’re singing that lovely song ‘Tis the music that illuminates the soul When the body’s long gone Now that you are gone, we’ll raise a toast To the friendship that you rang Fare thee well, your voice has touched us dear With the many songs you sang CHORUS

Yeah this life is just a little bit of exposure to the infinite (Nancy Denio)

Pass Offer 03:00
Gall stones fall down from a life of ire Reform the lyre on the funeral pyre Gall stones tablets of seethed moments writ in stone Minerals of anger, etched and sketched and honed
6.
Beirut 04:05
Beirut's under seige again and I'm lost in the Target with a sale on Aisle 4 I'll pick up some more of those things that I need I'm doing my deed But some day I'll get breakfast in bed Some day I'll stop counting the dead And then I'll lie back down Baghdad's under seige again and I'm lost in the target But I'm on my way home they just don't know all the things that I've seen of death and its glow
7.
Come to us now in this dark hour when the candles have burned and all answers have dissolved touch us with your song When the candles have burned and all answers have dissolved touch us with your song Touch our hearts that we may feel the way Light our souls that we may burn brightly Tear us not one from another Mark us with your song

about

Prodigal Light contains 15 gorgeous songs regarding love, the gloaming, visions in an Irish graveyard, commentary on the infinite by her mother, parallel universes, the apocalypse, piano tuning, an imagined nightmare for Dubya, an Italian partisan song, the Cafe Racer murders, and life in a nursing home.

Denio presents her fine multi-instrumental talents, playing 12-string and electric guitars, bass, alto saxophone, clarinet, wooden flute, accordion, piano, a variety of percussion instruments, and a jar of her mother's gallstones. Her voice soars with unearthly harmonies, her lyrics are serious, playful and thought-provoking, and the songs are unforgettable.
