lyrics

Thomas Hardy Evening

It was a warm and drowsy Thomas Hardy evening
Out a-walking on a whim
For to shake the dust from the rags of a working day
That clutters my mind and holds me sway

On and on in the glow of the westering sun
Catching nature moments as they fly
While evening’s bouquet leaves me stoned, sweetly blown away
With a deep and easy feeling inside in a time out of mind

I saw snap shots in sepia, sheaves of corn and reapers
Drowsy dappled horses in glinting medalled harness
The sweeping scything swallow weaving; the seamstress of the sky
And as a yellow moon was rising I rested in the tall grass of the old wayside

I watched a funny furry bumble bee foraging flower to flower
The buzzing of his industry deepening the peaceful stillness of the hour
And all my cares floated away
Like funny furry dandelion seeds over fields of hay

On and on while the woodland rings with evensong
Through the creaking wicket gate into the leafy throng
No need for church or tower beneath that sylvan bower
For earth and roots and greenery speak louder than empty words to me

'twas a warm and drowsy Thomas hardy evening
