about

Released for Lammas Festival 2020

lyrics

Come under the arching trees
And on the warm grass stretch at ease
Where we can taste the salt sea-breeze
And see the ships go by.

When the wind so strong and free
blows o'er my face fresh from the sea,
I forgetting all my care
here beneath these arching trees,
Where we taste the salt sea-breeze
And watch the ships go by.

And they say all things must die,
We are nothing, you and I
And that all things are but dreams,
Life is nothing, only seems
And yet this is real to me:
So good it is to lie at ease
Under shade of arching trees
Where we taste the salt sea-breeze
And let the ships drift by.
