All Around the Garden (Ribac​/​Blake​/​Newell)

from INTO THE GREEN (MUSEA​/​GAZUL 2017) by François Ribac and Eva Schwabe

lyrics

Sound the Flute!
Now it’s mute.
Birds delight
Day and Night
Nightingale
In the dale,
Lark in Sky
Merrily,
To welcome in the Year.
Little Boy, full of joy,
Little Girl, sweet and small,
Cock does crow,
So do you;
Oh merry voice,
Oh infant noise,
To welcome in the year.
When the voices of children are
Heard on the green
And laughing is heard
On the hill,
My heart is at rest
Within my breast
And every thing is still.
And all around the garden
The seasons come and go
As ghosts of other summers
Drift by to say hello, hello.
But only in the garden
With no two days the same
The band plays on forever
In chords which have no name,
Scores no one has ever seen
Their ancient farandoles in green

But all around the garden
With summer come and gone
In wisps of misty mornings
The music lingers on
And all around the garden
The seasons come and go
Leaves fall on the floor
Drift by to say hello, hello.

All around the garden
The seasons come and go
Leaves fall on the floor
Drift by to say hello, hello.
Seasons come and go
Leaves fall on the floor
Drift by to say hello

And spring will be the acrobat
To somersault the hedge
And summer be the love you stole
And which you could not keep
All around the garden
The seasons come and go.
Autumn be a drunkard
With his cider on the ledge
Winter the anaesthetist
Will put them all to sleep,
All to sleep.
Each rock and each hill,
Mountain and rill,
Mountain, hill and go.
All to sleep.
