CS 31.10.06
Here it is. The first of 12 songs. Inspired by various strange autumnal events. Accidents, decisions, lost keepsakes found and safely returned. On the other side of the planet summer is arriving. Here however my fingers and toes are getting colder. Scroll down for lyrics.
This first Calendar Song was recorded into GarageBand and is a very simple loop against the vocal. Don’t forget to click on the subscribe link, I’ll be sending out emails periodically with news. Comments, questions: post them all in the comments section. I’ll be updating soon with ‘November’. Till then, lots of love from Calendar Girl.
Reins on my back, bit in my teeth
We wear it all like a garland.
You lost your charge, I washed it clean
We say it all in the end.
Put your neck to the punishment
Reel around the corners of it
Stranded on an island every long afternoon.
I feel reason underneath me
I’m stepping on the reason road
A tree that fell with nothing at the root.
Reach for the words, dry off your eye
Wore it all along like a moonstone.
Sew up the cut, sigh like a tree
We say it all in the end.
Put down each anniversary
Reel around the corners of it
Very few new places to surrender to.
I feel reason underneath me
I’m stepping on the reason road
A tree that fell with nothing at the root.
You light a fire, jump over it
My ship of dreams on the water-line.
Warm up the room, stone in a ring
We say it all
We say it all
We say it all in the end.
