Take Up Your Spade Lyrics by Sara Watkins
Sun is up, a new day is before you
Sun is up, wake your sleepy soul
Sun is up, hold on to what is yours
Take up your spade and break ground
Shake off your shoes,
Leave yesterday behind you
Shake off your shoes,
But forget not where youve been
Shake off your shoes,
Forgive and be forgiven
Take up your spade and break ground
Give thanks, for all that youve been given
Give thanks, for who you can become
Give thanks, for each moment and every crumb
Take up your spade and break ground
Break ground, break ground, break ground

i love this song because it reminds me of a MAGICAL night I spent with a very special someone before he left to go cross-country with his trusty dog, Cleo...missing you, Ramblin' Man...love, your Little School Girl

[@Grant_Ferstat]

Beautiful.

[@IsEverythingTerrible]

I agree. The song is beautiful too
:)

[@JourneyAbout]

Glad to see Sara finally getting some solo recognition! Although I miss Nickel Creek tremendously!

[@NightHolocene]

Nightvale, duh!
Such an amazing song, I can't stop listening to it on repeat.

[@Mattwest1985]

She is so beautiful in so many ways. A perfect example of what we need more of in this world!

[@greglangan9792]

Sara has one of the best voices around. Nice to see Jackson Browne in the video. Can't wait to see them both in July.

[@Awakeningspirit20]

I honestly thought this was a worship song when I first heard it. It is for me, I get so emotional listening to it. So beautiful

[@antonyalumkal1526]

We just picked up our daughter from a week of Episcopal church camp. They actually did use this song in the closing worship! It felt perfect.

[@Awakeningspirit20]

@@antonyalumkal1526 that’s beautiful!

[@lemon_macaroon_1777]

Man. This is what I needed today.
It's just so peaceful!

[@PedrotheWombat]

Nice to see Jackson Browne hanging out

[@aspenrayne5951]

Honestly tied for my favourite nightvale weathers. With stupid, and the waltz from sandstorm (both a and b)

[@1amybean]

This song is a gift

[@greatburbo]

Thank you so much for loading this I had never heard of Sarah up until now, I'm going to hunt down her music here in the UK. Such a pure sweet voice. . Reminds me in some ways with the clever harmonies of Kate and Anna McGarrigle beautiful . Thanks again

[@chikkenbonz]

Ahh such a beautiful song. Sara has a very rich and soulful voice. Like it envelopes you in a blanket of warm familiarity. Very unique. The only thing I don't like about the song is it's only 2 minutes and 8 seconds long.... Thank you Sara and band mates!
You guys ever play Cincinnati? I'd love to see you live! ❤

[@cindyinencinitas4082]

I saw Sara do this song live at the Belly Up a couple of days ago and it's so beautiful it made me cry. And I think her parents were sitting near me. Eek.

[@MagicalHATz]

Cindy In Encinitas If had kids and one had the talent to move people to tears with a song they wrote, I would cry in proud happiness.

I would love to see her collaborate on a duet with the folk queen from across the pond, Kate Rusby. THAT would be incredible.

[@alessandromoon4650]

I've first heard this very alluring gem today via WFUV-FM, and was immediately drawn to it. I greatly desire to capture this wonderful song via the MacTubes downloader. Unfortunately, after repeated attempts I have been unsuccessful and keep seeing the following error messages:
MacTubes v3.1.6 / OS Version 10.6.8 (Build 10K549)
Download failed Error - The operation couldn’t be completed.
Can anyone advise me as to what the trouble is. Thanks

[@pietermeulendijks2749]

Who's there ? Jackson on video!!

[@IanCordingley]

Steve Carlsberg disliked this. He has such bad taste in music, that Steve.

[@theempire00]

Fiona Apple ;)

[@Marco_Rosari]
