Listen to the new album Eye To The Ear here:
https://found.ee/eyetotheear
This is a song about daydreaming that emerged after a spring day sitting outdoors under a tree. It features recordings of a humpback whale on the bass, a long horn sculpin, a bucktoothed parrot fish, an oyster toad fish, and Raven recorded by Bernie Krause in Algonquin national park among many other things.
Lyrics:
I’m in the garden
Half past three
Underneath the plum tree
Waiting for a daydream
I’m in the garden
Half past three
Working on my fourth tea
Wondering where should I be
If only I could shut the world out ’till tomorrow
Then maybe I can find a little peace of mind
If only I could watch the breeze blow all my sorrow
And listen as the wind begins to waft my worries away
I’m in the garden
Half past four
Underneath the Hawthorn
Watching as the ants crawl on
I’m in the garden
Half past four
Listening to leaves fall
Thinking should I sleep once more
If only I could shut the world out ’till tomorrow
Then maybe I can find a little peace of mind
If only I could watch the breeze blow all my sorrow
And listen as the wind begins to waft my worries away
Lying backwards as the world spins round me
Feel dizzy when I think too hard
The weight of empty space surrounds me
The smallest sound and I’ll get caught off guard
If only I could shut the world out ’till tomorrow
Then maybe I can find a little peace of mind
If only I could watch the breeze blow all my sorrow
And listen as the wind begins to waft my worries away
