PIPE AND TABOR
Words and music by Sarah McQuaid & Zoë Pollock
Recorded on Mama: Crow Coyote Buffalo (2009)
In the half-light
Of the evening
I saw him at my window
In his watching
You were calling
And I wanted to follow
You are love and love is you
You are love and love is you
In the darkness
He was gleaming
And I shrank from his smile
He was shimmering
He was laughing
And he mocked my denial
You are love and love is you
You are love and love is you
The smile of the falling rain
The smile of the falling rain
When I looked back
He was not there
But his smile stayed to taunt me
Pipe and tabor
Played a sweet song
That forever will haunt me
You are love and love is you
You are love and love is you
