By Robin O’Brien, though the first line is from a song my mom wrote, that I barely remember from childhood; words adapted from “Song of Solomon”

lyrics

For lo, it is the springtime of the year. Winter rains are over and gone.
The time of singing birds is here. Arise my darling; my beautiful one.
I am dark and lovely as the blossoming vine. The open lily’s fragrance is my breath
My sweet love is headier than wine. River waters wash my verdant bed
And he comes bounding o’er the hills,
and here he stands at my wall, calling like the dove.
Refresh me with apples, dear, for I am faint, I am faint with love,
I am faint with love.
He is rooted deeply as the cedar tree. Silken curls as black as raven wings
His skin; a scent of wood, and smooth, as alabaster.
His words are kisses, and his kisses sing

about

Robin O'Brien Santa Rosa, California

Eclectic mix of recordings; mostly lo-fi. I've been a closet home-taper, recording my music since before multitrack was available to us common folk at home. It's my joy.
George Reisch re-imagined some of these tunes, and you can find them at Luxotone.com
recordings by Jean Farmer and I are at notan.org ... more
