lyrics

Lilith

her lilies grow tall and slender, at the stall of the flower seller
in the spring sun we tremble, red roses that I bring her
on a bank of wild clover, by a brook babbling over
that runs on to the river, where the reeds buckle and silver
take me there

and Columbine and Harlequin were lovers for lilac and wild honey suckle for every love there's a flower the woodbine and forget-me-never
knights are bold to dream on her to wear her coloured ribbons
and heaven can only deliver, the promise of summer in winter
take me there

you took your passing pleasure, on the high seas of adventure
in Arabic gold and cinnabar, and the places of buried treasure
to turn and run with the weather, the tokens of romance forever
and safe from the storm in the harbour to the arms of my flower seller
take me there

Julian Whitfield: double bass, Bruce Allen: drums, Bernard Eveleigh: Spanish guitar/ vocals. ... more
