Demo of a song from Ysanne's upcoming new album, Coldwater, due out November 5, 2012. Recorded in a chicken coop. Yes. They're chickens.
lyrics
The Orchard
Prune the plum
Cut the deadwood
Green my thumb
Tend and make good
Plough my sorrows deep
Thorns of roses sweet
Chocolate soil
Humming bird
Sun-kissed toil
Nothing heard
Silence as I weep
Moisten roses sweet....
Espalier my soul
This solitude of old
I'll pioneer this land
Haul rock, and
Roll this orchard
Pinching rose hips
Sow your seeds
Planting tulips
Know your needs....
Space for inner peace
Wider skies release (Why disguise release?)
Bees and birds
Nature gated
Truth was slurred
Love was hated.....
Suicide cerise
Crucified beliefs
Dirt of cloying sand
Haul rock, and
Roll my orchard
Suicide cerise
Crucified beliefs
Dirt of cloying sand
Haul rock, and
Roll my orchard
Haul rock, and
Roll this orchard
Alternative ending:
I am a wild wood flower
I am the Sun and Moon
I am the Air so pure
I am the Water too
I love Sky above
Cos he loves me too
I love stars above
Cos they love me too
