I'm Bob Boyle and this concert is part of our Tiny Desk Home Concert series.

You can watch Ony DeFranco perform these songs on npr.org or the NPR Music YouTube

channel.

Enjoy!

From the depth of the Pacific to the height of Everest, still the world is smoother

than shiny ball bearing, so I take a few steps back and put on a wider land and it

shakes your skin, your sex and what you're wearing, your distance shows your silhouette

to be.

All I like mine, like sphere, is a sphere and all of us here, I've been here all the

time.

Yeah, we've been here all the time.

You brought me to church, send the blocks, fluorescent light, yeah you brought me to church

at seven o'clock on Sunday night and the band was rocking and the floors were scrubbed

clean.

Everybody had a tambourine.

So I took a deep breath and became the white girl with the hair and you sat right beside

me.

Everybody stayed, and through the open window, I think they sang it when outside, I fluttered

up to tell all those stars not to hide, because by the time church left, the sky was much

clear and the moon was so beautiful, the ocean held up a mirror and as we walked home

we spoke slowly, yes we spoke slowly, like it was taking more time than usual to choose

us.
