CHERYL WHEELER- SO FAR TO FALL

I buy CDs when I go to *concerts of musicians that aren't the names known by the masses. They sing at smaller venues. Then I don't listen to the CDs. That happened with a CD Different Stripe by Cheryl Wheeler. Then eventually, I listen. Well, there is always one (or more) song at least that I end up playing repeatedly. And it happened to this song, So Far Too Fall. Cheryl wrote the song.

*Cheryl Wheeler is returning to Common Fence Music May 7, 2011

I barely can see the typing on the page where I type posts while working on my Toshiba laptop computer, the letters are so minute I need a magnifying glass. (My MAC has been in the shop for two weeks and they never call me to let me know what is going on.). So posting blog posts is a strain on my eyes to see what I am typing. Bear with me with the typos.

Here is a live version at the Iron Horse (in my opinion, it is better on the CD).

Lyrics

• So Far To Fall
• Words And Music By
• Cheryl Wheeler
• 
  
• I guess I can't stop you
• No, I guess you'll just leave
• Its like I woke and found
• You walking on sacred ground
• Bringing a great dread down on me
• 
  
• And I know we've had hard times
• But I thought we'd still try
• Didn't we both intend
• To see this through thick and thin
• It wasn't just sink or swim this time
• 
  
• Well this ain't the love you swore to me
• And this ain't the life it's supposed to be
• And I don't know just how to hold on now
• And it's so far to fall
• From the warm light in your eyes
• To nothin' at all
• 
  
• Guess I'll drop by and see my old friends
• Maybe go off on my own
• You speak from a heart so cold
• To tell me your love's grown old
• And just not enough to hold you down
• 
  
• Oh this ain't the love you swore to me
• And this ain't the life it's supposed to be
• And I don't know just how to hold on now
• And it's so far to fall
• From the warm light in your eyes
• To nothin at all

NIGHT OUT IN PORTSMOUTH RHODE ISLAND TO HEAR CHERYL WHEELER

I just came home from a concert held in my town, Portsmouth, Rhode Island in a very modest hall, where we can bring picnic baskets. People bring table cloths and set up on long tables their food and wine. The performers were Bertrand Lawrence, followed by Cheryl Wheeler.

Cheryl is a song writer, singer, guitarist and comedienne. Many of the songs were the same ones I heard last year along with the same stories. But the laughs were "this year". After checking out Cheryl Wheeler at You Tube, I found some songs to include here that I heard tonight. The stories are even the same as what I heard tonight, although she did much better with her "Your God" and "Ghandhi Buddha" stories tonight.

Cheryl lives in nearby Swansea, Massachusetts and married her partner, Kathleen, 3 years ago when Massachusetts legalized gay marriage. She tells the story about how surprised she was at the reactions of everyone when they went for their marriage license, required blood tests and to Fall River, Massachusetts for their ceremony. Although she was expecting it ~ not one person gave them a bad reaction. Each person was happy for them. Cheryl also explains that she never worked for the legalization of gay marriage and never really was bothered that they couldn't get married ~ but when it became legal she and her partner immediately made plans. And she said it was interesting how it did make a positive difference in her relationship.
