Ned Farr & The Good Red Road

Lyrics

August came
Alive one night
November blew and
Doused that light
For nothing

Twigs and leaves
A bowl of reeds
Empty as the
Winter trees
I fill the nest with longing from my window

We shared a thrill
In one brief spark
Our lives stood still
Had we just marked
The future?
Our future

The moon appeared
And shed its light
Cool and pale
Then out of sight
And darkness filled the morning from our window

Spring arrives
With birds in flight
Pairing off
And searching sights
For nesting

Twigs and leaves
And bowls of reeds
Soon to grow
In Easter trees
She fills their nests with longing from her window
I fill my nest with longing
And let it go
