About the trees, the sun, simple living.
Actually two songs, one by Ingeborg and one by me, merged into one.
Which version do you want to hear?
Simple Living / What do the Trees say
(Ingeborg/Nico 2009)
Em C G D (2x)
Refrein:
See…
Hear…
Feel…
And smell…
See the light of the stars
Hear the sea in the shell
Feel the warmth of the sand
Smell the coming rain in the blowing wind
See the green of the leaves
Hear the song of the larks
Feel the cold in the well
Smell the coming fruit in the blooming trees
I feel the power of the Ash that links the earth with heaven.
The Elder shows me how a sacrifice can set me free.
The Yew will show me death, but also a new life
With the strength of the Oak that stands guard over me
refrein + solo + ritmeverandering + 2x loopje
See the shapes in the clouds
Hear the humming of the bees
Feel the sun on your arms
Smell the coming spring in the warm brown earth
See the hope in the light
Hear the promise in the wind
Feel the moon in your soul
Smell the coming day in the dew of dawn
Em C G D (2x)
I feel the whiteness of the Birch when she shows me how to start a new
I see the bright light of the broom as she teaches me to smile
I smell the honey in the Heather as the bees fly back and forth
I smell the scent of the horn when her blossoms hail beltane
