Texan Caroline Herring writes songs with sentiments and images of an earlier time. They recreate a simpler, yet harder life. In "Wise Woman" you can feel and understand the modest, straight-forward love grown out of the rigors of day-to-day life. We found this one on Caroline's Twilight (Blue Corn #0101; available from P.O. Box 572550, Houston, TX 77057, Ph: 713-706-3095; Web:
).

CHORUS:
I went up to the mountain
And I came back a wise woman
Went to the river
Came back wiser still
Only to see
You're as dear to me as the air
I breathe
Won't you meet me at that
...
