Name That Song!

Okay, I have a task of sorting tons of music from old work CDs to put onto the store iPod since we no longer have a CD player. Pretty much none of these songs have titles and while I know/can find most of them there are a few I'm having no such luck with.

The one I've been searching for most recently is a slower, soft song with a female vocalist. It's fairly quiet, a bit folksy, I guess, and mellow. I understand the lyrics but searching is giving me zero results with different phrases. Maybe someone happens to know it?


Sitting under dragon wings
And waiting for that little thing you tell me
Well you seem so calm
Is that what you've become
Yeah, you seem so calm
Is that what you've become?

Was there something I could say
to make you sway or even stay
Did I do something to make you change
The way you think about me?

Golden smoke is in your eyes
(something something something)
Won't you let me through
Did she say something to make you change
The way you feel about me?


....

I could add more but that's the first half of the song right there. It's mostly a guitar (I assume) and some light percussion.

    Probably a long shot since googling lyrics doesn't find it, but if you upload it to YouTube I'd be happy to run shazam on it to see if it identifies it.

    Have you tried Shazam'ing the song? That's really strange that a lyric search in Google doesn't bring it up.

    It's not strange that Google wouldn't find it even with all the lyrics if the artist never really went anywhere and only produced a song or two. One of my favorite songs right now you still can't really find with a lyrics search, although in that case I suspect it will change eventually.

    And it seems like all is dying, and would leave the world to mourn

    True, could be a local musician or something.

    Can you just make up a placeholder name for it if you can't find the real thing?

    Shazam leaves me fruitless as well. It keeps saying there's no match.

    I have a placeholder on the name but this particular one has been driving me nuts for almost 3 years and I had almost forgotten about it until I started compiling everything for my shop here. No one I worked with at my first store in California seems to know it either. It was probably put on by someone before I worked there.

    I kind of like this song and I was hoping if I could get a name I could find more by the artist.

    I'll still get it onto Youtube at some point 'cause it never hurts to have more info when trying to name something.

    What are these CDs from? Random mix CDs made by the people you work with?

    Pretty much. Basically the shops used to have CD players but we just got remodeled in my store and everything is digital so I'm trying to convert everything over to load onto the store's iPod.
