Song Information:

This is just a preview of a song I'm working on with Lisa Purdy---I just couldn't wait! There are verses, but Lisa hasn't sung them yet. She has another version of this song but wanted to revisit the music, and I came up with soemthing totally different and sang the chorus (which uses her original melody). I'll revise this posting with Lisa's vocal when she has a chance to get to it, but I sort of like this as it is. I thought it would be interesting to have a look at what's in the works, since I haven't posted anything in a while!

Song Lyrics:

Sowing and growing,
hemmed in by roses and lilies,
Sarah cleared the land in high school,
barbed wire, cedar rails and knotweed.

I'll check for footprints.
Is there anyone missing?
Under the layers of topsoil,
pretty red roses with crabapple heads.

Out in the greenhouse,
a willing gardener finds her.
Sarah takes down seeds and trowels,
birdseed, raspberries, poisoned weeds.

I'll check for footprints.
Is there anyone missing?
Under the layers of topsoil,
pretty red roses with crabapple heads.

End of the season,
the leaves are taking a dive.
Someone's shoes found in the ground,
heaps of bug shells, shards of egg,
cover the wasted beds.

I'll check for footprints.
Is there anyone missing?
Under the layers of topsoil,
pretty red roses with crabapple heads.

Chorus repeats
