lyrics
Verse 1
Unbridle your horse let her run free
You’re too young to tarry, let her run let her run
Wild are the grasses, wild is the wind
The wind it brings changes, we’re changing
Verse 2
Untether your boats boys let them sail out to sea
Unmanned and unchartered, sailing free, sailing
Take from us these shackles, burdens and ties
The circling wings of a girl, mark the turn of the tid
Chorus
We’re searching for light, in this long, cold winter
Where have the seasons gone? Bring us the spring.
The leaves turn to gold and then brown, like they always do
But there’s miles and miles of cold winter
Deep in the heart of winter
We fight for the dawn.
Verse 3
Look to the wild lands they call us, return home again, to your sisters now
Erase all the lines, they cast in stone
We’ll gather in the harvest now, with a breath of Spring we’ll sow
Seeds for tomorrow, what will they leave for us tomorrow?
Treasures and blooms will be forgotten, and the wildness in me
Chorus
Verse 4
We’ll sow seeds for tomorrow
Oh we will leave for you tomorrow
Flowers that bloom again tomorrow
Be wild and be free
Chorus

These are very familiar songs. Somehow these arrangements, and their performance, beckon you to hear them as if for the first time. A ‘classic’ version might mean one first heard decades ago. In this case it means one that will surely still be heard decades hence. duncandenis
Sweet harmonies & strummed melodies; the duo delve into decades-old folk, jazz, and country to find a timeless kind of love and connection. Bandcamp New & Notable May 23, 2018
