about

The water mill is a real place where my family live and this is about my conection to them and a snapshot of a Summer day spent there when they were away..

lyrics

The keepers of the stream live here
But no one is at home
How strange to stand here on these decks
At midday on our own
The old mill rides her grassy waves
Becalmed beside the water
Your loving arms ae everywhere
What happened to your daughter?

The sun shines on the roses
The sun shine shines on the river
The sun shines on your vagabond child
Have you anything to give her?

Now Daddy's fields are full of weeds
Dancing green and yellow
And mama's garden's overgrown
Home to the skimming swallow
And Mama's kept those records bright
But nothing lasts forever
Those dreaming faces fading fast
All in the Summer weather

We ate you bread and drank your wine
We tried not to break your dishes
We soaked your walls
With our own songs
And we frightened all the fishes
And we've had days of heaven here
We walked right back to Eden
But we left the garden gate unlocked
That all might be forgiven

The sun shines on your vagabond child
The sun shines on the river
The sunshines on the roses
And the songbird who sang with her
