The lark in the sky will chatter at the jay
The cat in the hall may wake another day
The cow in the barn can eat her fill of hay
The dog in the yard will frolic if he may
But who’ll banish all my cares away?
The ox at the toll has not a coin to pay
The fish in the sea might gambol in the spray
The sun in the sky lets down a shining ray
The lamb in the field will totter in his play
But who’ll banish all my cares away?
The horse on the road can whicker, snort or neigh
The stone-stubborn donkey bellows out a bray
The peacock may fan his tail in fine array
The rooster is king of all he might survey
But who’ll banish all my cares away?
The cloud up on high shows silver, white or grey
The end of the spring will come in June or May
The wheel of the potter gathers all the clay
The friend takes his leave with little left to say
But who’ll banish all my cares away?
The end of the hem will soon begin to fray
The welcome will fade if I might only stay
The leaves fall to earth and hasten their decay
The death comes to all tomorrow or today
But who’ll banish all my cares away?
I discovered this band mere weeks ago through pure chance; someone recommended Fair in a discussion about wholesome songs. And it was; love at first listen. YouTube recommended me Battle Cries next, so I gave that a listen too, and the the energy and the overlapping lyrics made me fall in love anew.
I bought this album and Ruin less than a day later. Everything TAD have made is true art, different from everything else I've heard. Mayana
