I literally recorded this on my iPhone with the lyrics on the computer on my lap, while I played on the couch. So, well, my apologies for quality.
plays with Calluna vulgaris, or common Heather.
lyrics.
- Calluna (Heather)
I wish
to lay down in
your arms again now
Heather
your soft and tender
hips to hold my head
off the ground
Heather
your grey hairs look
as pretty as a rose
I dress you up with bouquets
and you pose
Heather
The years have made you
shimmer more than gold
Heather,
I don’t have much to give you
this working class existence
and a double bed to sleep in
with my arms around your hips and
the sound of autumn rains upon the roof
Heather,
the winters have been
cold without you
there
it’s not too late
to start again
vulgaire
to sweep your whole life clean
of all the roots, regrets and sorrows,
the tears you had to borrow,
just listen to your heart
and come to me
I wish
to lay down in
your arms again now
Heather
come back under
the blanket please now
Heather,
Heather.
Wow! This is beautiful. It reminds me of Leonard Cohen. Well done!! I want to hear this with a full string arrangement. It’s a very very very good song. I’m super impressed.
Thank you! It's funny you mention strings, the instrument I'm playing it on is a guitar with four strings tuned like a cello - adGC from high to low.
