in the sunshine, the rain, when the moon takes your breath.
I shall listen to no one, and play as I will
for I play to forget I am on this earth still.<\/span><\/p>\n
for the hand the bow harbors must be kept smooth as wax.
You must not call me lazy, you must not scorn my name
\u2018cause I\u2019d rather go hungry and just live with the shame.<\/p>\n
I will dream \u2019neath the cherry and not worry for food.
When the sky\u2019s red at twilight I shall raise my fiddle high
And play \u2019til you\u2019re all dizzy and not an eye\u2019s dry.<\/p>\n
I shall play all your grief in a tune with no mirth.
And the sorrow of death which has visited you,
Will gush forth like your mourning direct from my bow.<\/p>\n
In the smoke of myriad log fires I shall sing with all my might.
And as the pitch darkness lays its mist o\u2019er the fen
My bass voice will echo through humanity\u2019s den.<\/p>\n
In with a tremor at my dearest friend\u2019s grave.
And until my own death day I will follow you with songs –
Await death and be playing on resurrection day long.<\/p>\n
