The Indigo Girls are an American folk rock music duo consisting of Amy Ray and Emily Saliers. They met in elementary school and began performing together as high school students in Decatur, Georgia, part of the Atlanta metropolitan area. They started performing with the name Indigo Girls as students at Emory University, performing weekly at The Dugout, a bar in the Emory Village.
They released a self-produced, full-length record album in 1987 and contracted with a major record company in 1988. After releasing nine albums with major record labels from 1988 through 2007, they have now resumed self-producing albums with their own IG Recordings company.
Outside of working on Indigo Girls-related projects, Ray has released solo albums and founded a non profit organization that promotes independent musicians, while Saliers is an entrepreneur in the restaurant industry as well as a professional author; she also collaborates with her father, Dr. Don Saliers, in performing for special groups/causes. Both Saliers and Ray self-identify as lesbian and are active in political and environmental causes.
Well I guess that I was lonely
That’s why I called you on the phone
Cause in a moment of forgiveness
I didn’t want to be alone
And I guess that I was willing
More than I ever was before
Cause in a moment of forgiveness
I come knocking at your door
Baby I woke up crying last night
Just to realize that you were gone
Has it been two long years without you
Tell me now when are you gonna come home
I guess now I’m hoping
Oh that you finally understand
And in a moment of forgiveness
You reach out and take my hand
Baby I woke up crying last night
Just to realize that you were gone
Has it been two long years without you
Tell me now when are you gonna come home
And I guess that now I’m hoping
Oh that you finally understand
And in a moment of forgiveness
You reach out and take my hand
