Biography:
American singer-songwriter Dar Williams lives at the intersection of pop and folk. She fuses many genres (blues, rock, jazz), resulting in a rather organic sound. She has been making music for over a decade.
Her studio album My Better Self finds Dar at an unequivocally brazen crossroads. Reflecting on American politics, the disillusionment and apathy of youth, and the female experience, Dar makes no apology for her outspoken beliefs.
Her 2008 album, entitled Promised Land.

C F C Gadd11 (x1)
[Verse 1]
C F C Gadd11
Twenty different dresses across my bed
C F C Gadd11
So many questions inside my head
Am F C Gadd11
A simple dinner that I cooked for hours
Am F Em
He brings a mason jar and a bunch of flowers
Gadd11
The storm is coming
[Chorus]

Over on the mountain is flashing light
C F
I could swear I'm feeling it here tonight

Just a little bit
Am F C F
I know I have been wrong
[Verse 2]
C F C Gadd11
The wind is picking up, but we don't say a thing
C F C Gadd11
What if I'm the only one who feels it happening?
Am F C Gadd11
The leaves are all aflutter on the lilac tree
Am F Em
He's sitting at the table, and he's looking at me
Em
The storm is coming
Am
And my heart says

Girl you gotta know

That it's all coming down, coming down
[Chorus]

Like a window

Over on the mountain is flashing light
