lyrics
Chorus:
What’s the life of a man any more than a leaf?
A man has his seasons so why should we grieve?
Although in this world we appear fine and gay,
Like the leaves we must wither and soon fade away
As I was a-walking one morning at ease
A-viewing the leaves as they hung from the trees
They were all in full motion appearing to be
And those that were withered, they fell from the trees.
Well, if you’d have seen those trees just a few days ago
They were all in full motion and appearing to grow.
When a frost came upon them and withered them all,
And the rains came upon them and down they do fall.
Go down to yonder churchyard, many names there you’ll see
All fallen from the world like the leaves from the tree.
When age and affliction upon us do call,
Like the leaves we must wither and down we must fall

This album is stunning!! I love the vocals - Daoirí Farrell has such a fantastic voice. The bouzouki and touches of flute are so excellent. A really really fantastic Irish album! lynnaround
From Cork, Ireland, Lewis Barfoot writes mystic, majestic songs derived from regional folk, with an ambient music aura. Bandcamp New & Notable Dec 11, 2023
The latest LP from Brigid Mae Power is gorgeous and ghostly, setting Power’s voice against soft brushes of guitar, piano, & shuffling drums. Bandcamp New & Notable Feb 17, 2018
