lyrics
On the other side of these bright mornings
Is a light that shines on Martha’s Awnings
Reflects across the sound to Buzzards Bay
The seagulls loot the ferry boats
A humpback sings its ancient notes
Echoes down the coastal waterway
Chorus:
The fishermen pull-up anchor as the day goes by
While the sunset on Menemsha paints the sky
The morning paper hits the lawn and
An old man sits under Martha’s Awnings
As the island faithful scatter through the town
The captain’s quarters in Edgartown,
The gingerbread houses dance all around
Glowing like a sunlit wedding gown
And if I could just be with you for one more day
But the mainland and its matters won’t let me stay
The sailboats and the seafood shack
Come next year, they will all be back
As September slowly draws her awnings down
On the other side of these bright mornings
is a light that shines on Martha’s Awnings
Is a light that shines on Martha’s Awnings
Reflects across the sound to Buzzards Bay
The seagulls loot the ferry boats
A humpback sings its ancient notes
Echoes down the coastal waterway
Chorus:
The fishermen pull-up anchor as the day goes by
While the sunset on Menemsha paints the sky
The morning paper hits the lawn and
An old man sits under Martha’s Awnings
As the island faithful scatter through the town
The captain’s quarters in Edgartown,
The gingerbread houses dance all around
Glowing like a sunlit wedding gown
And if I could just be with you for one more day
But the mainland and its matters won’t let me stay
The sailboats and the seafood shack
Come next year, they will all be back
As September slowly draws her awnings down
On the other side of these bright mornings
is a light that shines on Martha’s Awnings

about
Ric Allendorf Middleborough, Massachusetts
As a native New Englander, Ric has spent nearly half his life as an acoustic musician, illustrator, art educator, and
breadsmith.
Music is his tool of navigation, discovery, and anchoring. His guitar is always nearby pulling deeper into the unfamiliar with the steadiness of a mast. Ric gravitates toward unique voicings, percussive frailing, and meticulous fingerpicking patterns.
