lyrics

Boughs bend
seabirds call
dry leaves shake like dancers
Ask not why they fall
You would not like the answer

I will leap
And I will crawl
Among the unarmed chancers
I will not ask you
For whom those bells toll
They toll because they can, sir

Nothing in this world will keep you satisfied for long
Nothing in this world is truly stable
But hidden in the wailing there are voices raised in song
As long as they are able

They found you there
Brittle and bored
But glad to be remembered
Between the stone walls of your fort
Among the fading embers

A line of beads to mark the place your shoulders used to be
A hip that never fully did recover
The world could never hold you but left your children free
To wander through the clover

The world could never hold you in the same skin very long
Every home you built was soon ploughed under
But hidden in the rubble is the echo of a song
And dreams of easy wonders

about

Moongazing Hare Copenhagen, Denmark

I try to keep myself warm, calm, loved and out of harm's way. The music is desperately home made and mostly well-intentioned.

Wonderful, antipodean weirdness. Soul-searching, honest and out of this world. Moongazing Hare
