Ian Bruce & Victor Besch - The Burnsong Suite

Текст с Bandcamp’а: “BURNSONG SUITE (Ian M. Bruce) DEUCH AND KEN (Written with Carsphairn Primary Kids) I sat by the river and watched it flow free. Just as the day was a-dawning My true love is gone; too far from me. And it’s oh my poor heart is a mourning. Cally has gone; he’s left for the war Just as... Nobody knows what they’re fighting for. He’s gone by land; he’s gone by sea. Just as... Oh Cally, Cally come back to me. And oh... But just like the water, time flows away. I sit here alone day after day. By Deugh or by Ken; by river and burn And wish for the moment my Cally retuns. But something has changed. I’m losing my fear. Soft winds are whispering into my ear. And all of the flowers are smiling at me. Could it be my Cally is free? The flowers were sweet. The wind never lied. Just as... We’re sat by this river side by side. And oh... SEASONS OF THE RIVER CHORUS September brings the autumn. Autumn brings the fall. Fall of leaves and water. Mother Nature’s call. Calling is the time. Time slips through the vine. See the clock of water. Time is yours and mine. Ours for the taking. Hours for to give. Though the bodies die. Still the spirits live. CHORUS Calling is the winter. River at a high. All the hills are covered over White to winter sky. Trees on the horizon. Icicles and snow Footprints in the frost Cold sun sitting low. All the birds are flying Flying to the sun. While snow and ice is melting Spring must surely come. CHORUS All the birds are flying Landing by the burn. To build nests they are trying For food and drink they yearn Calling is the river Watch winter disappear. Spring is diamond sparkling Sparkling for the year. Another year of seasons Flying past so fast. They all have their reasons Enjoy them while they last. ACID RAIN CHORUS Acid rain burns my face. Thought I’d found a happy place Walking home in this nightmare With my clothes burning bare. need some alkaline. I went home - Mum went spare When she saw me standing there Standing there with no clothes on She wondered where my clothes had gone. Please let me explain. CHORUS I was banished to my room To contemplate my certain doom. I can’t take this stuff anymore All this junk I’ve heard before. Aw, get me out of here. CHORUS I’m so fed up being so far down. I feel as if I’m going to drown. They say everything will be OK That everything’s hip hip hip hooray. Life is one sad song. CHORUS Lo and behold to my surprise The sun always seems to rise. From the most unhappy rhymes If you read between the lines. Life is looking up. CHORUS from Above Wild Water, released February 1, 2012 Written by Ian M. Bruce and The Kids of Dumfries & Galloway“
