and also the trees – jacob fleet lyrics
my name is jacob fleet.
i feel the solid world
revolve beneath my feet.
i stride over plains,
through the copse
and through the glade…
i pace through the day.
and a voice tells me
‘never stop, never stay,
don’t let your shadow fade’
i scale the steeple streets,
all empty but for song
wood-smoke and sabbathe meat.
i pace down the lanes
if i stop my shadow fades…
i walk and i pray.
and the wind tells me
‘oh come back home again’
and the hedges began to hum
‘never stop, never stay,
don’t let your shadow fade.’
my name is jacob fleet
i walk the golden mist
of alabaster street
my scant figure strays
through the lost
withe lilac lanes
where heavens angels prey…
but i will not stop or stay,
i rage into the day.
and the wind tells me
‘oh come back home again’
and the hedges began to hum
‘never stop, never stay,
don’t let your shadow fade.’
i saw a girl standing by a pail,
i heard the tell-tale wind
in the windmill sail
