FreshWater.mp3 - Scott Bishop
I sort of fancied this as Bob Pollard meets the Byrds, but probably just because the line "I drank it all before I cracked the bell" sounds like a Bob Pollard kinda thing to sing.
FreshWater.mp3 - Scott Bishop
Fresh water for the tea, my love
Fresh fire for the bed, I just wanna hold you
It's a need I have tonight
I never tell you, but I have it most nights
Bring it from the spring, my love
There's no water in the well
I drank it all before I cracked the bell
Fresh water for the bath, my love
Bless the tap and give us this hour of purity
There are no sins to cleanse
And the lens I look at life through has turned cloudy
The flat erasures of empty days
Interrupt the spell
That says the tapestry is not unweaving
And when all the doors are closed
And all the locks are bolted
I know there are some rooms that are worth leaving
And if the pipes should freeze
We'll huddle in the cold or just lay dreaming
For fresh water for the tea, my love
And the warmth we share, wholly real, not seeming
Possibly the best track I've heard of yours. FINALLY going in my direction! ;)
