the far meadow - the seamless shirt lyrics

Loading...

are you going to scarborough fair?
parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
remember me to one who lives there
she was once a true love of mine

tell her to make me a cambric shirt
parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
without a seam or needlework
she shall be a true love of mine

now she’s put away her needle
she’s wrapped up all her thread
her eyes once full of p-ssion
overwhelmed with hopeless dread
at first she thought she’d failed you
i suppose you feel it too
’cause you asked for the impossible
such an easy thing to do

the shirt that she had crafted you
was the finest ever seen
it was delicate and subtle
yet as strong as gaberdine
her hands of gentle honesty
caressed each pleat and fold
an envelope of tenderness
to keep you from the cold
to keep you from the cold

picket out st-tches with your ludicrous demands
stripped away dignity with preposterous commands
then one day she put away that shirt
you didn’t think that through

colllar unfastened forms a noose around your neck
b-ttons you tore aside roll away across the deck
you may think that she had failed you and you’ve
reason to hurt
you’ve found your seamless shirt

are you going to scarborough fair?
parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
remeber me to one who lives there
she was once a true love of mine

are you going to scarborough fair?
parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
remeber me to one who lives there
she was once a true love of
she was once a true love of
she was once a true love of…

that’s why we’re all defined by what we do
each pregnant deed achieved by humankind
it drives us all to change the way things are
before we run out of time
