My dear friend Susan inspired the song "She's Her Own Mistress"! Scroll down to next page to see song lyrics.

In Susan's words, here is what she thinks about being the subject of my song. 

 

"What Luck! 

To live this life I live

And oh, to be a muse

To my friend

That's you...

A song bird"

       

“SHE'S HER OWN MISTRESS”  

LYRICS BY BETH REID BAUMAN

 

Verse 1: 

Dances among the flowers in her garden.

And mows her lawn in the nude.

Sparkling bright like the stars are winking down at the moon.

 

Chorus:

She’s her own mistress. 

She is pixie dust.

Wrapping her arms around and hugging all of us.

 

Verse 2:

Slayed those dragons at dawn that kept getting in her hair.

Chased them away off of the farm like they were never there.

 

Chorus: 

She’s her own mistress.

She is pixie dust.

Wrapping her arms around and hugging all of us.

 

Instrumental:  

 

Verse 3: 

Looking at the clouds as she floats down the creek on her back.

Thinking about the good times that outweigh the bad.

 

Chorus: 

She’s her own mistress. 

She is pixie dust.

Wrapping her arms around & holding all of us.

 

Verse 4: 

He swears that she is Mother Nature sprung fresh from the ground.

She is the lunar gypsy swirling all around.

 

Chorus: 

She’s her own mistress. 

She is pixie dust.

Wrapping her arms around & loving all of us.

 

Chorus:

She’s her own mistress.

She is pixie dust.

Spreading her own magic over all of us.  

Spreading her own magic, holding all of us.
