about

Inspired by my dear friend Jaro who had a transformative experience euthenising young deer that had been hit by a car.

lyrics

Screech of steel on skin and bone, shaken
Curse of breath and a body thrown
Dented and dumped in a ditch to die, wasted
One more trip with a toll so high

To check the vital signs,
To try and save a life so frail so innocent
What a hinderance!
To face the bloody truth,
Now that's a mighty coup because this

This fragile skin, we live in
This fragile skin, has grown too thick

Red slick stains on the clay and stone, fading
Quick fire breath and an earthly groan
A case to ponder or a cause to hide
'cause this young buck's just the tip of the ice

A hand of human kind, upon the trembling hide
So torn so conflicted is this pained witness
To end the ailing life, or let the night decide so hard 'cause

This fragile skin, we live in
This fragile skin, has grown too thick

He wipes his salty eyes,
Weeping as he slides the blad from ear to throat
What a way to go
A euthenised demise,
A sign of all the times inside this

This fragile skin, we live in
This fragile skin, has grown too thick

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
