about

Recorded and mixed by Naevus at Wooden Lung in 2001. Previously issued on the compilation CDr 'Rabbits in Your Stocking'.

lyrics

Your happy fruits bore seeds of sorrow
And planted with regret
An orchard waiting on the morrow
More fruit to beget

A year I spent in tending
That sour little crop
And though my back was bending
It sweetened not a drop

Passing through the avenues
Of the dearly-new deceased
A draught brewed in sickness

I led you thence come springtime
The way was coarse and crooked
The salty fruit you found sublime
And knew your heart be wicked

I see you waiting at the threshold
Your movement is but slight
Making summons with your blindfold
Blot the cry of light

Passing through the avenues
Of the dearly-new deceased
A draught brewed in sickness
