about

Blue eyed soul (think Van the Man). A metaphysical atmosphere of a beautiful and haunted English garden in the summertime. Warmth of certainty amidst a feeling of uncertainty - nature, transience

lyrics

IN THE COUNTRY NOW

Dust your frills and lace
Blossom brush across your
Blushing face
Your secret party

Jack rabbit run
Beyond the danger ground
To hide beneath
Heavy perfumed gardenias

For the summer sun is
Shining brightly now
And the songbird is as
Happy as a clown
And the winter wind has
Finally gone to town
Ooh you're in the country now

What ghostly presence
Pales the air
There sat by the lake grey lady
Through her veil she softly stare

Way above the bushes
Close by
The owls are out
A spy belies the atmosphere

And yet all around is
Smart and fresh and new
Springing into life
Through morning dew and

Mother's blanket
Cover's it all
Amid the beauty that
Surrounds you here

You see her watching

Tennis balls and cricket bats
White hats in the sun
Strawberry teas and pretty pleases
Happy to belong

For the summer sun is
Shining brightly now

And the songbird is as
Happy as a clown
And the winter wind has
Finally gone to town
Ooh you're in the country now

CHORUS Rept

For the summer sun is
Shining brightly now
And the songbird is as
Happy as a lad
And the winter wind has
Finally gone to town
Ooh you're in the country now

CHORUS Repts

Ooh you’re in the country now
