‘My Orchard Fire’.

Music and Lyrics by Thomas Carter. Copyright Verlaine Records 2009.


We’ll be in the mountains in the afternoon,
Your dress is a cotton one, made in blue,
Under the trees that are carrying fruit,
To the orchard I go carrying you.
(Into the orchard I go carrying you).

Laying in the sun like two ancient spears,
That were carried many miles from here,
Look to the sun through the fingers of your hand,
D’ you see the shadows cast upon my back?
(Do you see the shadows cast upon my back?).

***

D’ you feel the heat of the summer sun?
D’ you feel your eyes meeting with mine like one?
The sound of footsteps in my mind,
As they carry you home,
Carry home my orchard fire,
I hope you’re fine…

***

Walk with me to that well you seek,
And help me carry up the water clean,
And we will drink it from our hands in turn
And then we’ll carry on along that road.

And we’ll be in the mountains soon,
We’ll be climbing, climbing them soon,
Any time soon.

I want the higher altitudes,
That’s where we’re travelling,
Travelling, me and you.

***

Among the streams and the tall Scot’s Pine,
You hear the sound of birdsong on the telegraph line,
We sit up with those birds there all through the night,
And we sing with them in the morning time.

Among streams and the tall Scot’s Pine,
The sound of birdsong, oh my my!
And when you’re sleeping with me side by side,
Then I’m singing with them all the time.

Then I’m singing with them all the time.
