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. This ‘Outlander’ inspired romantic epic reminds women of a certain age that they are still very much desired. From the album ME DAZA recorded in Ireland.

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
Ill love you; maiden, mother, crone
Your sweet green leaves,
your weathered bones
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.
