    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

These Northern Skies
Here among the thistle and Queen Anne’s Lace / Here among the sun setting through the apple tree / You are pine boughs and cotton and iron / You are an oil wick burning steadily / I came here for a change / Hoping these northern skies would align for me / I’m waiting for a change / Until these northern skies align // Here among the lupine and chicory / Here among the sugar maples starting to turn / You asked me how long I intended to stay / There is so much yet that I need to learn / I came here for a change / Hoping these northern skies would align for me / I’m waiting for a change / Until these northern skies align // I ask myself is it enough to feel the warmth of the sun on my skin / After all my best laid plans, I just want to learn to breathe out and breathe in // Here among the spruce trees pointing into the sky / Here among the Milky Way spread across the night / I’m driving down the gravel till I am out of sight / To the darkest field where the constellations shine clear and bright // I came here for a change / Hoping these northern skies would align for me / I’m waiting for a change / Until these northern skies align
