about

There are many songs about seasons and this is one, written partly in homage to the great Jackson C Frank (and especially his influential song 'Milk and Honey')

lyrics

Still here

She stands there in her summer clothes, a lightening breeze which ripples through her hair
Curlew on the wing
And all around the melodies that nature plays, the scent of jasmine
Help the sweet earth sing
The drying grasses swaying tall a hint of what’s to come
Then clouds come from nowhere
To hide the sun

Autumn mists grow drear and cold
And the year once fresh grows tired and old
All nature hangs its head and sleeps
As all around their winter vigil keep
For a future that’s so clear and bright
It’s the hope that gets us through the long cold night
That gets us through the night.

But spring will come again, the green fuse through the eager earth,
Berries on the vine,
The rushing water in the brook, the sunlight on the singing stones
A world that seems full of time
So we will go across the meadow dreaming of a better air to breathe
And hold on to the hope that we will never have to leave

Hold on to that hope
Just like our fathers’ prayers
Keep the living good
As our mothers once did there
All can be different it doesn’t have to be the same
Will it be the same?

Summer clothes
Autumn mists
Winter cold
Singing stones
But we’re still here
We’re still here
