about

Recorded on 04/08/18 in my living room; with the voice of my daughter singing and my husband in the background.

lyrics

Lyrics:

Oh that lily of the valley had a secret thorn
She’d jab it in my side and leave me to cry
But she smelled so sweet, I’d forget every time

Apple blossoms in the yard
Rotten apple in his heart
I tried to be a friend from the start

Eight long years in the trenches
Bittersweet vines
Overtaking memories of our lives
All I ever wanted
To look you in the eye
You have a lot of nerve now
You’re still in my mind

Can he hear me singing now
The winter’s past and the doves have come out
I’ve got my wings, I’m flying now

Turning in your shadow
Looming large and loud
Shine dulled by your scowl
Your hand over my mouth
Listen to my words now
The rain’s over and gone
I’m climbing over mountains
While you’re still playing god
