The Muffin Song

from a secret life by Hemlock Smith

/

about

Recorded at the end of the sessions, it proved an important track as it marked the beginning of the recording relationship with guitarist Julien Feltin. It also paved the way for later acoustic tracks. Written for my first child, then new-born.

lyrics

the muffin song


Girl
You ‘re a whirlwind
In my life
Girl
You ‘re a whirlwind
In my life

You blow me apart
But then you glue me back together
You ‘re like the weather
You ‘re changing every day

But the blue sky comes your way
But the blue sky comes your way
But the blue sky comes your way
But the blue sky comes your way

If I leave
The clouds will wear
The shape of my face
And in the trees
The leaves will have
The scent of my embrace

Should I lie still
And silent in a coffin-

(just eat your muffin, cos)

This is not death
I just hold my breath
This is not death
I just hold my breath

To sing a song that ‘s more beautiful than the one before
To sing a song that ‘s more beautiful than the one before
To sing a song that ‘s more beautiful than the one before
To sing a song for you
‘Cause you ‘re beautiful…
