about

Written about a troubled young lad who I met whilst living at Landmatters community in Devon.

lyrics

(Verse 1)
Mummy's pride and joy
Makes a strange funny noise
With a wail he can hail
His avian companions
He's clever with his hands
Has a way with with trees and plants
He's away all the day
In silent communion

(Chorus)
Unruly boy, where's your joy to?
What's put you in this spell?
Can we ignore all those like you?
It's hard to admit, cause we don't know where you fit
Green-eyed Kid

(Verse 2)
Daddy's estranged child
Plays alone in the wild
Eating leaves, saving seeds
Counting mycelium
He'll conjure up some string
Show you birds and how they sing
He's all ears, 'till he hears
A grown-ups opinion

It's very good cd, of course. What set it apart from other folk albums is the the blend of different styles that make it one of a kind. André
