    Heather printed these covers herself on a foot-powered 1901 Pearl letterpress in Maine. With an antique engraving image of an armillary sphere printed in silver ink, overlaid with hand-set type in black ink on kraft paperboard, each of these CDs is a unique work of art. The 12-page lyrics booklet is printed on cream uncoated paper and opens from inside like a book. And each CD was printed and assembled and shipped by Heather.

    This comes direct from the artist, packed lovingly with a friendly note and, if desired, the CD can be signed custom to you. Makes a nifty and impressive gift!

lyrics

Careful With My Heart
I'm a brave aviator in the stories that I write / A fearless lion tamer, daring it all every night / And there's nothing I won't tell, when I'm behind my guitar / But when I'm standing beside you I am careful with my heart // I have driven through the storm with my hands firm on the wheel / I’ve not been too proud to knock on doors or beg for a meal / I’m a whole hearted chance taker, not afraid to fall apart / But when I'm standing beside you I am careful with my heart // You can call me brave with the risks I take / You can me honest with the music I make / You can call me a fool, but there's one way I am smart / When I'm standing beside you, I am careful with my heart // I have slain dragons, but none wearing your clothes / With all your good intentions, all your disarming prose / So I grasp these chords like a talisman to protect me from love's start / When I'm standing beside you I am careful with my heart // You can call me a fool, but there's one way I am smart / When I'm standing beside you, I am careful with my heart
