about

Home recording of a recent composition, utilizing aspects of spoken word, Celtic folk and Americana.

lyrics

I was picking persimmons the color of fire
and I watched the skin burst from the touch of the sunrise.
but the birch trees don't speak to me no more,
but the birch trees don't speak to me no more,
for I am West wind teased, I am westward ever bound
for I am west Wind teased, I am westward ever bound,

I won't die not today not today not today
but I walk through fire anyways, any ways, an yways
&if they catch me singin' oh oh, if they catch me wingin'
will I finally fall despite it all
&if they catch me dreamin', oh oh, if they catch me screamin'
will I finally learn to take it all,

&the June rose bloomed in the
clenched love affair of warm
air in January
maybe if it kept its damn legs shut
we wouldn't be in this mess
we wouldn't have this early death
& this long life,

and when the see rises one degree
they'll sea they'll sea the reality
sidhe was truth, truth was she
they'll say, as I embark
upon an arc made of seeds
as I embarc upon an ark made
of my own seeds.

I won't die not today, not today, not today
but I walk through hell fire anyways
and if they catch me singin' oh oh oh
if they catch me wingin'
will I finally learn to take a
fall

I was pickin' persimmons
the color of fire
and I watched the skin burst
from the touch
of the sunrise.
