    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

With the Moon
I saw that you were looking for a little light / So I shone my warmth on you / Oh I tried to be your sunshine / But all along you were in love with the moon // She comes and she goes, when she returns, she’s still cold / But none of that matters to you / Oh I tried to be your sunshine / But all along you were in love with the moon // The anxious sun burns too hot / Tries too hard, moves too fast / My burning heart glows so bright / You can see it shine right through my chest / There’s no mystery shrouding me / Could you love what you see and what you get // Was every laugh and every smile / Misplaced, wasted on you / Cause I tried to be your sunshine / But all along you were in love with the moon / Yes I tried to be your sunshine / But all along you were in love with the moon
