The West Was Burning歌曲歌词：
作曲 : Scanlan
Was the year the west was burning,
Iwas on a mountain sleeping
Iwoke up a-dreamingabout you
I was walking down a road of dust and bones and ash and following a burning set of tracks that led to you
I still see the fire in your stare
I still think
I coulda burned up there
Out the window there are fields of wheat in
Kansas thatroll out forever under ever underneath the sunif
I could lie there for a moment
Icould feel your arms around me
Icould feel the spinning round the spinningsun
Roll on through the wheat and roll on by
Touch of green against a deep
September turquoise sky(you and I)
When all the glory you could somehow shove insidea bottle doesn’t seem to fill the empty cup insideyour soul and all the winding roads you used tofollow never seem to get you halfway where youwant to think you need to go
Times of trouble, times of grace and ease
Mama always said there’d be days like these
And if wishin’ was a-walkinand a-thinkinwas a-talkin
I’d be walkin’, and a-talkin’back to you
And if I could be a river winding down a mountain
Iwould twist and curl and turn and tumbledown toyou
Tell you stories told by mountains and tall trees
Tell you maybe this is one of these
Was the year the west was burning,
Iwas on a mountain sleeping
Iwoke up a-dreamingabout you

Martha Scanlan简介：
The haunting quality of Martha Scanlan’s voice, unique perspective and poetic imagery of her songs helped to gain national acclaim for the innovative old-time stringband, Reeltime Travelers. In their six years of touring they played some of America’s most prestigious venues and festivals from the Grand Old Opry to the Telluride Bluegrass Festival. .. .. After catching the attention of Grammy-winning producers T-Bone Burnett and Bob Neuwirth, the group recorded a cut for the soundrack to Cold Mountain and were featured on the Great High Mountain Tour along with Alison Krauss, Ralph Stanley, and other artists from the Oh Brother Where Art Thou and Cold Mountain soundtracks. .. .. Martha’s songwriting frst gained national attention in 2003 at the prestigious Merlefest Chris Austin Songwriting Contest where a panel of judges including Gillian Welch and Jim Lauderdale awarded her first and second place in the bluegrass and country music categories for “Little Bird of Heaven” and “Hallelujah”. .. .. She is currently on tour with brothers Travis and Trevor Stuart, who are widely considered among the best of Western North Carolina’s new generation of Appalachian musicians. Their deep roots in tradition and remarkable ability to lend that depth to new sounds creates an extraordinary sense of timelessness; a perfect compliment to songs rooted in tradition but reflective of an ever-changing cultural landscape. .. .. Martha’s debut solo project is produced by and features Dirk Powell along with Levon Helm, Riley Baugus, and Amy Helm and Glenn Patscha from the band Ollabelle. It is due out February 13, 2007 on Sugar Hill Records. When not on the road she divides her time between the mountains of East Tennessee and those of Western Montana.
