EVERGREEN (Love Song for the Crone)

EVERGREEN (Love song for the Crone)

On loving a woman before, and after, ‘the change’.
There are love songs for the Maiden, there are love songs for the Mother, but where are the love songs for the Crone? Women past there breeding years are in menopause – not dead.

(Contains one of the longest held end notes in musical history.)

LYRICS

Bring to me love’s late desire
Turn the season, build the pyre
All will be enduring fire
Knowing my flame climbs
Ever higher

Let the leaves curl on the vine
Burn the fields and bend the spine
As the blood soon turns to wine
True colours a deeper hue in time
The blade a finer line…

Evergreen
You are my only one.
All other lovers wrong
Believe…
You are my chosen one.
Forever we belong

Bring to me your faded gold
Crown of silver, linen folds
Twisted hand still warm to hold
Our history speaking to my soul
The only story told…

Evergreen
You are my only one
All other lovers wrong
Believe…
You are my chosen one.
Forever you belong.
With me…

On and on our love will go
Deeper roots will only grow
When summer’s rain
Has turned to snow
Ill never leave you, not alone

I’ll love you; Maiden, Mother, Crone
Your sweet green leaves
Your weathered bones
When all of this
has turned to stone
If I still breathe
Our love goes on…

Evergreen.
You are my only one.
All other lovers wrong
Believe.
You are my chosen one.
Forever we belong.
Believe…
