Handfasting

about

This song was originally recorded on my Sex & Wildflowers album.

lyrics

Handfasting
Man is no inverted tree
his roots not in heaven bedded,
charlock firmly to the soil,
bindweed nion to rock and field.
Not to rail against the sky
spread our leaves to catch the light.

Once woad in bluebell wood
the world was home, the larch was hewn.
Once woad in bluebell will
the world was home, the eyebright sown.

Wood will! Wood will!

Man is no germless seed
ripped from a rib indebted,
sharp as shepherd’s needle need
hitched us to the fields we wedded.
Not to rail against the night
our woodruff chant our wood will ply.

Once woad in bluebell wood
the world was home, the larch was hewn.
Once woad in bluebell will
the world was home, the eyebright sown.
