about

From our 4th CD Alabaster, released on the French fairy-world label Prikosnovénie in 2002. I wrote it for my first niece Lucy, when as a toddler she had trouble with her eyes. Can we see the world through eyes of wonder, as with Puck’s enchanted flower-dew?

lyrics

Way over the windtorn wainscotting waterwood
I saw a butterfly on a bicycle -
Way over the windtorn wainscotting waterwood
I heard a dragonfly brush your pie.
 
Who loves a life too much to die?
Who would make enchanted drops for human eyes?
To see the world through magic eyes:
Wind and water and sun and rain and moon alight!
 
Way over the windtorn wainscotting waterwood
I saw a little girl dancing in a tree -
Way over the windtorn wainscotting waterwood
I heard a tambourine in the sea.
