Emmylou Harris - Boulder to Birmingham (Lyrics) [HD]

Emmylou Harris sings 'Boulder to Birmingham'. This song was first on her 1975 Reprise album 'Pieces of the Sky', her debut country album. Linda Ronstadt and Fayssoux Starling do backing vocals on the album. The lyrics are in the video and below with notes about the song. The images of Gram Parsons in the video (standing by a car, singing with guitar, sitting in a flowered shirt) appear since the song concerns Emmylou Harris' feelings of grief for him after his early death in 1973. [CD/Lyrics/16-Images/WAV] Boulder to Birmingham (Singer: Emmylou Harris) I don't wanna hear a love song I got on this airplane just to fly And I know there's life below me But all that you can show me is a prairie and the sky And I don't wanna hear a sad story Full of heartbreak and desire The last time I felt like this I was in the wilderness and the canyon was on fire And I stood on the mountain In the night and I watched it burn I watched it burn, I watched it burn I would rock my soul in the bosom of Abraham I would hold my life in his saving grace I would walk all the way from Boulder to Birmingham If I thought I could see, I could see your face Well, you really got me this time And the hardest part is knowing I'll survive I've come to listen for the sound Of the trucks as they move down out on ninety-five And pretend that it's the ocean Coming down to wash me clean, to wash me clean Baby, do you know what I mean I would rock my soul in the bosom of Abraham I would hold my life in his saving grace I would walk all the way from Boulder to Birmingham If I thought I could see, I could see your face If I thought I could see, I could see your face Songwriters: Bill Danoff, Emmylou Harris © BMG Rights Management, Reservoir Media Management Inc. [Lyrics from LyricFind] Wikipedia states: "Boulder to Birmingham" is a song written by Emmylou Harris and Bill Danoff which first appeared on Harris's 1975 album Pieces of the Sky. It has served as something of a signature tune for the artist and recounts her feelings of grief in the years following the death of country rock star and mentor Gram Parsons. Early in her career, Harris toured with Gram Parsons and sang on his 1973 album GP. The song is known for its chorus "I would rock my soul in the bosom of Abraham/I would hold my life in his saving grace/I would walk all the way from Boulder to Birmingham/If I thought I could see, I could see your face." Harris did not write again about Parsons' death in such a directly way until "The Road", a track from her 2011 album Hard Bargain. Bill Danoff recorded the song with his group, the Starland Vocal Band, on their self-titled debut album. A version of the song was a hit in New Zealand for The Hollies, reaching number ten there, and later appeared on their album A Crazy Steal. A version was recorded in 1975 by Scott Walker and The Walker Brothers on their No Regrets album. In 2012, American alternative rock band, The Fray, released a cover of the song featuring Harris as a bonus track on their record, Scars & Stories. Dolly Parton included a cover on the song on her 1976 All I Can Do album. Joan Baez cut a live version of the song and it originally appeared on her 1976 live album From Every Stage; the track later appeared in the compilation Joan Baez: The Complete A&M Recordings (released September 23, 2003).
