Heather Miller Live at KOOP album art featuring black block letters with pink and red woodblock prints of poppies

The door is a dance
between the kitchen and the car
take me to Texas
take me to breakfast
take me to towns I’ve not seen

I wake in a world
between fear and forgiveness
Sometimes there’s crying
sometimes there’s lying
sometimes there’s burgundy, sometimes there’s green

The ember of empathy is burning
somewhere in the pit of my chest
I think it’s a sign that I’m gonna be fine
despite all the days of unrest
There’s a window of wildness and willing
where whatever I want seems to fly
I think it might mean that it’s time to come clean
about what I actually desire

The coin is a key
between wanting and having
I keep coming close
I keep losing rope
I keep finding faith in the strength of my feet

I step on a stage
between sinking and swimming
praying for grace
praying for space
praying to be heard, to be seen

The ember of empathy is burning
somewhere in the pit of my chest
I think it’s a sign that I’m gonna be fine
despite all the days of unrest
There’s a window of wildness and willing
where whatever I want seems to fly
I think it might mean that it’s time to come clean
about what I actually desire

Cuz the door is a dance
and I wake in a world
where the coin is a key
so I step on a stage
and it’s time to come clean

Heather Miller - FD151DA5-8534-4EF9-8E13-F5F6AB7CFDAC

I am a singer-songwriter. I wrote my first song in 2001. In the time since then, music has gifted me over and over, pushing me forward, bringing me to new cities, stages, festivals, classes, and corners of the internet. Music has introduced me to new friends, forced me to be brave, and created all sorts of connections. 

You can be part of that now…
