about

Fitch's Glen was a mystical place in northern Indiana near where I lived when I was a kid. Virtually all I remember is the name, but that's enough for a song.

lyrics

Fitch’s Glen (Sam Arthur)

Wake up darlin’, day is breaking; morning waits around the bend
Through the mist and dew go running, through the woods to Fitch’s Glen
Where the rainbow river runs, sparkled by the rising sun
The waking dream has just begun, waiting there in Fitch’s Glen

The singing river was my mother, when I first was born again
There I talked with God my Father, when I knelt in Fitch’s Glen
Cathedral made of trees and sky; hummingbird and dragonfly
Listen to the breezes sigh, content to slip through Fitch’s Glen

Behold all nature gathers ‘round us, sons of God and sons of men
Sing their songs of earth and water, for to lift our souls again
Grass beneath my naked feet, where the bullfrog sings so sweet
You have made my joy complete, together here in Fitch’s Glen

Now the twilight comes a’creeping; diamonds light the eastern sky
Constellations burn above us, as the daylight slowly dies
And we both must go our way, live our lives from day to day
Until the magic works again, in the place called Fitch’s Glen.

They asked Lisa to sing with them because their voices both stunk and hers was very good. The name "The June Bugs" was chosen after an extensive free-association-by-email. ... more
