about

My earliest bit of recording for the album! I put this together in a flat in Elephant and Castle at the age of about 23. The sound is very rough, but weirdly effective (to my ears). I hope you enjoy it.

lyrics

The garden was numb,
The birds were all dumb,
The spider's web holds only petals:
An orbit of silk,
Metal from milk,
As the old year slows.
It's been a long time-
Maybe it shows-
Since I've been to the place
Where love grows.

I shook out the shed,
The flowers in bed-
My work is cut out for me!
Tools full of rust;
Ignore me you must
If I should strike a sad pose:
It's been a long time-
Maybe it shows-
Since I've been to the place
Where love grows.

M8: So far
From the joke
Of stone water
Have I grown afraid
Of the spring
That you bring
With your laughter?
'Cold hands burn worst
By the fire',
That was my law.
How long would you wait
For me to thaw?

The sun paints the grass,
The frost fades to glass,
All his ice sculptures are aching!
Snowdrops that hide
Are breaking his pride
With their soft and subtle
Repose;
It's been a long time-
Maybe it shows-
Since I've been to the place
Where love grows.
