Package is a full-color, 4-panel wallet containing a vinyl look/feel CD and a 12-page booklet with full lyrics and artwork.
Songwriter's note to the hard-core audiophiles (truth in advertising): This is a high-quality CD-R, burned from a digital master in a professional manufacturing facility. It is NOT a replicated disk. I had to choose between replication and the vinyl look/feel I wanted for the CD. For me, the visual aesthetic was more important, given that most people are streaming these days anyway. The audio quality of the CD-R is the same as a pressed disk.

It would feel so good to fly...
I stand on the ledge looking over the edge
At the rocks and the waves below
That would destroy my body but liberate my soul
The baby in my arms sleeps quietly, breathes peacefully
The baby in my arms, she could fly with me
She would never have to know.
I could set her free...
No more twisted world, no more twisted desires
No more servitude, no more hypocrites and liars
Well there's got to be something better, beyond this great big sky
And we can get there if I'm brave, and if I take this leap and fly
If I fly, if I fly
And the baby in my arms, sleeps quietly, breathes peacefully
The baby in my arms, she could fly with me
She would never have to know.
'Cause it would feel so good to fly
I stand on the ledge, toes over the edge
Yeah it would feel so good to fly
I stand on the ledge, toes over the edge
And then I look back to say goodbye
I hear the panicked voices, reconsider my choices
'Cause the baby in my arms sleeps quietly, breathes peacefully
The baby in my arms, maybe she could have a better life than mine...
So I step off the ledge, away from the edge
And June takes my baby from my arms
And now my arms are spread like wings
The wind on my face swirls and sings
The rocks and the waves below
Are beckoning and I'm ready to go
Ready to go
'Cause it would feel so good to fly
I stand on the ledge, toes over the edge [x 3]
The air is sky, the sky is blue
I'm over the edge and now I know it's true
It feels so good to fly
It feels so good to fly
It feels so good, it feels so good, it feels so good to fly

Karen Jonas' first album is a great collection of songs that tell intriguing stories. I can say I knew her back when; she played at a songwriter showcase I used to run and I got hooked on her voice. Haze & Dacey
