Listen to the song; #4 on COLLABORATIONS
This is a song by Jon Hayman. We’ve been playing music together off and on since the late 80’s. This was the first song I had ever heard that he had written, so I was really excited to help him get it off the ground. He was collaborating with another friend of his back in Virginia. He came to my studio on Oak Creek Drive in Lakeside along with his son Luke playing standup bass. We fiddled around with it for a while, but Jon was never happy with what came out. I think he wanted it to be a lot faster and to have a lot of fiddle. Unfortunately, we didn’t have access to a fiddle player, so I did the best I could with it and included the results in my COLLABORATIONS collection. Here are the lyrics:
VIRGINIA BLUEBELL
© 2010 Words and music by Hayman, recorded and produced by Reggie Michaud
Blue Virginia bluebells need blue Virginia skies
Not as blue as what I see in my sweet lover’s eyes
I had to come back home to find what I’d been searching for
My sweet Virginia bluebell will bloom for me once more
Thirty years I’ve rambled; no place to call my own
Winter snows are coming on; can’t face this world alone
Steps are taking me back to that old familiar door
And my sweet Virginia bluebell will bloom for me once more
Blue Virginia bluebells need blue Virginia skies
Not as blue as what I see in my sweet lover’s eyes
I had to come back home to find what I’d been searching for
But my sweet Virginia bluebell will bloom for me once more
Well I’ve loved that mountain columbine on the rocky mountain side
California poppies warm those Laurel Canyon nights
Purple passion flowers may line that music city row
But my bluebell in Virginia’s hills will bloom for me once more
Blue Virginia bluebells need blue Virginia skies
Not as blue as what I see in my sweet lover’s eyes
I had to come back home to find what I’d been searching for
My sweet Virginia bluebell will bloom for me once more
Bluebells come out early, the snow’s still on the ground
They bloom then hide their face away till next Spring comes around
Our love once bloomed when we were young then faded with the cold
But love will surely bloom again in the Spring as we grow old
Blue Virginia bluebells need blue Virginia skies
Not as blue as what I see in my sweet lover’s eyes
I had to come back home to find what I’d been searching for
My sweet Virginia bluebell will bloom for me once more
Well my sweet Virginia bluebell will bloom for me once more
