lyrics

It’s a beautiful day just like any other
Standing in the park a girl and her mother
The mother she aches for some salvation
Or even just an honest conversation, she thinks
Who is it said we could have it all
I don’t see how I can have it all at all
I believe that we’ve been sold a lie
I can’t do it all no matter how hard I try
She looks into the other women’s eyes
Searching for a glimmer she can recognise
And as all of the mothers are nobly smiling she wonders
Inside are you crushed do you feel like crying
And as the planes fly overhead she is yearning
And her weary legs are restless to run

She longs to plunge into this life without resistance
To wake up each day and need no more than this existence, she thinks They say that it’s a sacred calling
They say that I am falling
Into a life of willful transgression
Turning into an unnatural woman
But I look to the sky and I dream of the music
Then force myself to pay attention
And I feel so ashamed of the way that I do it
And I wonder what the would say if they knew it

The little girl runs with arms open wide
And a smile as big as her big blue eyes
The mother’s fears for a moment subside
Make way for a heart that surges with pride, she thinks
My last day on earth, I’d spend it with you
A week, a month, a decade or two
But there are some things I want to do
I don’t need it all, just a little will do
And I have a dream that I’ll see the day
I’m on the road when I’m wrinkled and grey
And I’ll look back and be able to say
I’m glad I raised my children that way
And until then I’ll fall in with this path that I walk
Between the lies and the truth, the light and the dark
It’s just another day in the park
It’s just another day in the park
Me and my divided heart

about

suzannah espie Melbourne, Australia

Espie’s sound is an intoxicating mix of country, folk, blues, and soul. A gentle, sweet trill that can
move grown men to tears one moment, or an Aretha-esque hellcat belt that can raise the roof the next; however she
sings it though, it’s still unmistakeably Suzannah Espie

"There aren't too many songwriters able to match meaning with melody as well as Suzannah Espie"
Charles Jenkins
