Oh sacred patience with my soul abide
There's a rainbow above me that the storm clouds hide
And kind words will never die
Cuz the magic in kindness springs from the love, love, love
Little acts of kindness and little words of love
Make our earthly home heaven above
And there is no sorrow heaven cannot heal
Abide within, no cross, no crown
Running from mercy, hidden and coy
Swimming upstream down oceans of joy
Die in the arms of a natural life
Waking our happiness drowning in light
Waking our happiness drowning in light
Little acts of kindness, little words of love
Make our earthly home like heaven above
And there is no sorrow heaven cannot heal
Abide within, no cross, no crown
This thing was not born with wings
Slow to stop our ways sing (chorus)
You, you wake up!, come on boy, come on little boy
Don't you stop her, don't you stop her
There's that door
I've got that door
I know where that door is
Just follow me and you wake up
Come on with me
Tomorrow
There's a rainbow above me that the storm clouds hide
And kind words will never die
Cuz the magic in kindness springs from the love, love, love
Little acts of kindness and little words of love
Make our earthly home heaven above
And there is no sorrow heaven cannot heal
Abide within, no cross, no crown
Running from mercy, hidden and coy
Swimming upstream down oceans of joy
Die in the arms of a natural life
Waking our happiness drowning in light
Waking our happiness drowning in light
Little acts of kindness, little words of love
Make our earthly home like heaven above
And there is no sorrow heaven cannot heal
Abide within, no cross, no crown
This thing was not born with wings
Slow to stop our ways sing (chorus)
You, you wake up!, come on boy, come on little boy
Don't you stop her, don't you stop her
There's that door
I've got that door
I know where that door is
Just follow me and you wake up
Come on with me
Tomorrow

I've always had a big crush on Rickie Lee
I find his to be the best work she has ever done. Very soulful. Thank you Rickie
The only concert I ever walked out of in my life! She disappointed in so many ways
I had the amazing privilege of seeing her 2-rows back in a small venue several years ago here in Michigan, She was simply exquisite. What an amazing songwriter, musician, and performer. < sigh! > ![not worthy](https://img.radioparadise.com/emoji/icon_notworthy.gif)

Dear Dwayslett, Lyrics don’t have to make sense—they paint a picture, sometimes like Jackson Pollock. And other times it is simply the beauty of the human voice…

Never cared for her...
She's coming to Hardly Strictly Bluegrass in SF this weekend. I will be very sorry to miss this year and her!
Still the same solid 10 because ...

Still so awesome after all these years
Just had to change my rating from 9 to 10.
I know, that's slightly over the top, 9.3 would be appropriate. But since that's not an available option (yet) and I cannot understand the average rating of 6.8, a solid 10 will do for now.

7 months ago, I commented "Strangely Compelling". I stand by that. But, now that I know it's Leo Kottke from the forward announcement (thank you), no wonder I love the instrumental background. Rickie might not be everyone's cup of tea, but she's mine.

This album came out during a very troubled time in my life and it was one of those things I could play at night, sitting by myself, and it brought me a lot of peace - especially this song. Even though it should remind me of troubled times, it always brings me back to center. Thanks, RLJ, and for the kind words you wrote about Walter Becker when he passed.

She sounds horribly drunk.
7 bumped to 8. Saw RLJ last summer in an intimate little theatre on the north shore of Massachusetts.Always loved this album, but she also is such a quirky performer live. Loved it!

Anyone with music in the root of their soul will find themselves taken up and travelling with this artist....the rest of you may just fancy yourselves "experts"

Why would anyone sing a duet with Leo Kottke? I mean, the man just cannot carry a tune. ![{#Ask} {#Ask}](https://img.radioparadise.com/emoji/icon_ask.gif)

Is she singing actual words, or just jamming random vowels and consonants together?
Maybe RLJ is an acquired taste. Maybe she's too much work for a casual listener. I've never followed her work in any sort of compulsory way but find it takes time to find my way in to her work. For me hearing this track just now for the first time is like running into an old friend who happens to have time for coffee. Nice to catch up with you again Rikki.

One of my all-time favorite albums. Stayed in my car's tape deck for ages.

love this whole album
this song speaks to our blindness
Oh sacred place that sets my soul alive
There's a rainbow above me that the storm clouds hide
And kind works will never die
Cuz the magic in kindness springs from the love, love, love
Little acts of kindness and little words of love
Make our earthly home heaven above
And there is no sorrow heaven cannot heal
A fire within, no cross, no crown
Running from mercy, hidden and coy
Swimming upstream down oceans of joy
Die in the arms of a natural life
Waking our happiness drowning in light

Really LOVE the cover artwork. It's GENIUS. Song is good too. Always respect Rickie!

I've never forgiven herself for "Chuck E's in love" which is an auto-mute these days. There's something about her voice which really grates.

jagdriver basically says the same thing about if the voice is grating, it doesn't matter how good the lyrics are (he cited Jackson Browne in particular.) I understand this, but I think I'm more able to listen in "stereo" - the lyrics as one perspective, the vocals as the other. When one or the other isn't good for me, I can usually adjust my balance control and focus on the perspective that works for me. Maybe I won't have total enjoyment, but I'll have enough to appreciate the song. And then there are songs where everything blends into a very tasty casserole.![{#Bounce} {#Bounce}](https://img.radioparadise.com/emoji/icon_bounce.gif)

Rickie Lee has been around a long time and she hasn't lost so much as a half-step. WAY TO GO, MS. JONES!

Loves me some Tom Waits. Love love loves me some Leonard Cohen. Lerve the Be Good Tanyas. Ricky Lee Jones, not so much.
I'm not sure you can generalize about peoples' tastes based on whether they like RLJ.
Where do I donate to the fund to have her adenoids removed?
Pretty tune but now I know where the Be Good Tanyas learned to sing.
Very close to a nine for me. Great music!
Personally I love Rickys' voice.
Love the cover art also.
Sweet! Caught this for the first time on the CBC last weekend

OK, queridos amigos, Ricky Lee has been singing this way for more than 30 years, so time to GET OVER IT.
On another point: I highly suspect the evil twin of this song is Lyle Lovett's 'I Love Everybody'.
Traffic from Paradise is doin' alright! ...

That's Kottke singing in the background on the last chorus, too. Did he contribute any guitar to it? Didn't seem so, though I didn't think to listen until after I heard his voice (and it was too late).
Good catch! I knew I heard someone I knew, but I thought of Bruce Cockburn and wanted to see if anyone else heard it. Leo - that's the ticket!

Samiyam
I'm with you, Samiyam in Silly Con Vly! I recently bought her Anthology disc set and it was great to listen to the entire set. She's a timeless singer, songwriter, and a great guitarist. I think the funnest thing about RLJ is that she is so many different genres her music cannot be pigeon-holed. Just my 2 cents...
