lyrics
Funny how you chose the first frost
To freeze the words among us
And draw all the songs from Lily's lungs
With wild whisky tongue and twine
Fear, fight, frown
The table she laid was first to break
The fine varnished oak in splinters
The tree it did fall and needles tore
Her flesh on the boards beneath her
Once were bells and sparkle eyes
Cinnamon fires and sacred nights
Waltz and whirl and starry skies
My advice is hold your Lily tight
So visit your soul and rake your bones
From dirt and dust and din
And build you a heart with all good parts
The bolts and the cogs within
No fear, no fight, no frown
No fear, no fight
Once were bells and sparkle eyes
Cinnamon fires and sacred nights
Waltz and whirl and starry skies
My advice is hold your Lily tight
No fear, no fight, no frown
No fear, no fight, no frown
Funny how you chose the first frost
To freeze the words among us

Really honoured to play piano and accordion for my dear friend Ted Barnes's latest album. Beautiful tunes and songs, with both humour and melancholy. Gill Sandell
A beautiful, haunting ballad, wonderfully done. This is a originally a protest song about the Iraq war by Tom Waits, but here it sounds like a traditional English folk/Irish ballad. Don't miss it, it's a keeper. David Goggin
