Who wears a dark hood in Parades and crowds I see Outlines of their eyes Who wears a dark hood in Parades and crowds I see Effigies and icons For a fee Who sinks me in Into the haze that crawls Looking back down I see I'm Almost Almost there, dearest I'm black and blue I'm howling at the moon Soon my Rhayader Shall paint the scene of the flood Will I be here to speak Will I be breathless? Constellations unknown Forbidden astrologies I know time crafts your warmth Carved out the silver that You dusted over my life Wine-stained lips and a smoke I'm much too frail Who drags me in As the hired gun calls Look me up and down You'll see I'm Almost Almost there, dearest I'm black and blue I'm howling at the moon Soon my Rhayader Shall paint the scene of the flood Will I be here to speak Will I be breathless? In the morning I watched you get up Pour your coffee into my tiny heart I'm the daybird That sings and tells And I won't be back soon, I won't So look me up and down You'll see I'm Almost Almost there, dearest I'm black and blue I'm howling at the moon Soon my Rhayader Shall paint the scene of the flood Will I be here to speak Will I be breathless? Almost Almost there, dearest Will I be here to speak Will I be breathless?

There will be a moment in my garden I will kneel to tend with care There will be a moment where I will know One from the other And I will tread the ground thinking Maybe this time, maybe this time I belong above Girl of 18 48 You will own your body again You weren't born bearing no curse Keep on singing, singing that desire To sit and weep for the last time Yield to the winds of deserts chimes This is the moment where I do know The name of home, undefined For now I think maybe this time Maybe this time I shall hear the doves Girl of 18 48 You will own your body again You weren't born bearing no curse Keep on singing, singing that desire Daydreams in white lilac Throne of lavender Barreling forward Days in slow motion Girl of 18 48 You will own your body again You weren't born bearing no curse Keep on singing, singing that desire

I haven't seen you around lately I forget until I feel your presence Lurking, haunting, what's in a stream All the visions I feel in my skin I'm here and I'm there again I'm home for sure nowhere Wear that same old calico And dance in the sweetest afterglow Walk out his cage on my tiptoes Where did the lovers unloved go I'm playing lunar jaywalking Daydreaming of flowers up there I know this will be my undoing Hail the Aries moon in me I walked willingly to the church of the doe-eyed I saw oblivion baptized in chemical I will wear the same old calico And dance in the sweetest afterglow Walk out his cage on my tiptoes Where did the lovers unloved go I could pick you out of a crowd With my eyes closed I would know when I saw enough With my eyes closed I am free and I am insane I am manic and I'm profane I'm here again (with my eyes closed) Walking through walls I'm here (with my eyes closed) Again I will wear the same old calico And dance in the sweetest afterglow

I've been chasing moonlight Most of my days Wear but a jacket Of shearling braids But the night is young And the moon is old She watches me With a gaze so cold Now I know what I've done And I did it for love Yeah I did it for love Drive down the canyon Bury me at sea Hold down the brake, please Hold it down for me Cause the night is young And the moon is old She watches me Trying hard to be bold And she knows what I've done But I did it for love Dispatch from the bluejays Each night is the first They call at my window Each day a new birth But the night is yours No, it never was mine I know what I've done And I did it for love Yeah I did it for love

Quiet tornado Quiet tornado I'm inside you I'm dancing with seagulls Giving them names just like I used to do Here's Matilda, sweet Matilda She's nice to me, Matilda Oh quiet tornado I'm inside you Let's dance together But not too fast Let's love together But not too hard In my hands for now I will hold The seafoam touch of winters past Oh quiet tornado Don't move too fast I beg you I beg you, I beg you I beg you And if the clouds never disappear It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter And if the rain forever falls It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter Oh quiet tornado Let's keep it slow Quiet tornado, let's keep it slow Quiet tornado, let's keep it slow Quiet tornado, quiet tornado Let's keep it slow

about

Gabi's Cali Co. Caen, France

Gabi’s Cali Co is a modern iteration of a 1970’s singer-songwriter of caustic, dreamlike imagery dabbling in off-center explorations of indie folk-rock, firmly anchored in her French roots with unmistakeably southern Californian accents.
