Climb the tree
Ring the bell
Hold on for summer the carnival bringer
Plough the field
Dig the well
Hold onto summer the perennial forgiver
Vault the vale
Beat the drum
Run onto summer the bountiful beginner
You bring the breeze under parasol
To my waking from a fevered brow
And my solar sister I wish you well
May we dance now?
Climb the hill
Drink the view
Hold out for summer a farewell to winter
Feed the fox
Sing the tune
Look out for summer the festival beginner
Tend the flock
Pick the corn
Run onto summer the bountiful bringer
Jump the hedge
Mind the swarm
Longing for summer the perennial forgiver
And when the frozen ground yields up it’s poppy seed
I’ll turn around to see this winter carcass that I leave
Oh, cos I love the these days
A souvenir
Picking all the roses in your garden
Feeling every movement
The heady perfume of your bed
A thorn for your thoughts
And a petal for your actions
Caught by every glance you gave me lips of cherry red.
Climb the tree
Ring the bell
Hold on for summer the carnival beginner
Plough the field
Dig the well
Hold onto summer the perennial forgiver
Vault the vale
Sweep the leaves
Run onto summer the bountiful beginner
Ooh the winter’s over
Look out for summer the perennial forgiver
Hold onto summer the bountiful bringer
Jump the gate
Ring the bell
Longing for summer a farewell to winter

The acoustic version makes each song even more impactful, sometimes more melancholic. I love how the vocal harmonies and the lyrics are emphasized even more. katchuppina

This sounds AMAZING! Exhibit A of how to make a live recording sound like an audiophile delight... Also, great gig (helps that I was there!) James Hendry
