And that is all​.​.​.

about

and a quiet one to finish. Inspired by the hard life of my grand-parents as farmers AND factory workers. this one is so hard for me to sing that we almost never play it live...also because it bums everybody out, of course...))

lyrics

And that is all…


ghosts of kingdom come
rhythm of our days
paradise, like hair – undone
whispered “come what may’s”

may then june then fall
and that is all
and that is all…


couples in the hay
deathbed as routine
children are a gift – a plague
we fear them like machines

may then june then fall
and that is all
and that is all…


Field mice love the sun
Its convalescing gaze
What little we have done – is gone
Like whispers in a daze

may then june then fall
and that is all
and that is all…


weatherbirds of prey
silence during meals
bodies shall decay-and then
mother spring will heal

may then june then fall
then winter -
and that is all…
