about
Booked studio time to record something else with a pal of mine, but things changed the morning of the session. Recorded at Blessed Hope Church in Lincoln Park, here's a love song for Valentine's Day that I had written on ukulele for my muse last year. It references and quotes a good bit of the beautiful poem A Red, Red Rose by Robert Burns.
lyrics
Richer than the gold in the hive of a honeybee
Brighter than the entire candy bar galaxy
Deeper and fresher than Nessie's sea
Is a passion and love that abundantly grows
And only we know
The sweetness of a red, red rose in its fullest bloom
Could never, never come close to the sweetness of life with you
"Til a' the seas gang dry, my dear, and the rocks melt wi' the sun"
I'll be your bonnie lass, "while the sands o' life shall run"
I'll be your poet, if you'll be my muse
I'll paint you pictures in metrical hues
In a lullaby each night to coax your dreams
And each morning to pull you to the golden beams of the sun
"While the sands o' life shall run"
Together, we'll create a whole world as our masterpiece
And one day, when you're gone, the earth will sing it to me
"And fare thee weel, my only luve, and fare thee weel awhile
And I will come again, my luve, though it were ten thousand mile"
"Til a' the seas gang dry, my dear, and the rocks melt wi' the sun"
I'll be your bonnie lass, "while the sands o' life shall run"
I'll be your poet, if you'll be my muse
I'll paint your pictures in metrical hues
In a lullaby each night to coax your dreams
And each morning to pull you to the golden beams of the sun
"While the sands o' life shall run"
