  • The wind whistled you in behind the springtime
    Float, Old Note, new among my mind
    You hold the note, the note just moves the movement
    Let go of the note and so, move everything

    I can't come to quantify the feeling
    I was walkin' home half in the dreamin'
    The things that I was thinking I was singin'
    The wind whistled you in behind the springin'

    A star ran the rings around the star before me
    And spun and swooped and sank n' rocked beneath me
    And mirrored what I've carried since I met me
    And shot me back into the ground below me

    And there I met another note long buried
    And sat upon it's shoulders, was a memory
    A home but see, above me's gone so noisy
    I almost think I do not recognize me

    Feathered friend, dig up and resurrect me
    I long to live among the song of birdies
    A lawless league of lonesome, lonesome beauty
    Skies and skies and skies above duty

    The wind whistled you in behind the springtime
    Float, Old Note, new among my mind
    You hold the note, the note just moves the movement
    Let go of the note and so, move everything

    I can't come to quantify the feeling
    I was walkin' home half in the dreamin'
    The things that I was thinking I was singin'
    The wind whistled you in behind the springin'

    It, the song is over
    Th-th-the song is over
    The song is over and she's sad, that's why she's lying down

    Oh, is she sad because the song is over?

    Yes

    Well, maybe, why don't you find a new song to sing? Then it doesn't have to be over
    You have other songs that are part of you

    Um, but peoples say no other songs

    What peoples, love?

    Um, the spirits

    Sing, sing or sing or sing or come around
    Sing or sing, now come my way
    Where is your legs? Writer/s: Colm Padraig Macconiomaire, Lisa Catherine O'neill
