pat orchard - dartmoor stone lyrics
i found my home a long+time searching hard
and dartmoor stone it walls a sunny yard…
(poem)
…the smell of clover and meadow flowers
warmed by the heat of the day
those end of river lazy days
toes in cool moorland water
backs ’sunny side up’ and sizzling
where laughter slips easily into the warm afternoon
like a cool drink on a parched and waiting throat
you know those laid back days
with the feel of miles davis blowing some good, good notes
while you watch the sun dappled leaves and think of nothing at all
nothing seems to matter and you really don’t care
and someone passes you a taste of africa neatly rolled
its memory pungent drifts with the conversation
that hums with the shimmering heat
and a woman’s laughter sprinkles itself delicately
like a wind+chime over the happy gathering
sure you remember those days
full of loving and gentle games
easy on the soul
where the children
nut brown bodied played naked and innocent
splashing cold joy…
i found my home
dartmoor stone
