It's Silly To Sing Your Name 04:30
lyrics
buy track
A bottomless rain comes up and Fakes to wash away our pasts But if we'd truly be honest we're just about to get wet A terrible stiffness in my spine And my muscles refrain from my mind An electrical current flashes through my nerves unkind And will our songs be told When both our souls are sold And our time did unfold When our bodies are grey and old And all our children sing these ancient tales Now kick me to wake me Then trick me and say I'm free Whatever I know, I know it to be vanity It's silly to sing your name I guess they are all the same I just stand in your door and sing to you day by day And will our songs be told When both our souls are sold And our time did unfold When our bodies are grey and old And all our children sing these ancient tales I'm the happiest boy alive I'll happily grow old and then die Let me follow you softly through the uprising light

Forgot To Get You Off My Mind 03:02
lyrics

I went down along The a-yawning riverside Pulled my face into it but forgot to get you off my mind So I tried to fish To abide the time But I only fell asleep to wake up still feeling as tired And the river's still a-yawning And the fishes still won't bite And the morning is a-dawning And your keeping on my mind Now my face is sore And my hands are dry I woke up alone but forgot to get you off my mind There are shimmering rays Drifting on the rivers tide I only hear it crackling but cannot open my eyes And my body is still drowning And the rivers tide is high And the rays imply a morning And your keeping on my mind But the river's still a-yawning And the fishes still won't bite And the morning is a-dawning And your keeping on my mind

Baby I Am Blue (For You) 02:50
lyrics
buy track
I found some brand new love the other evening I found it to be brutal and obscure I found it to be comforting and soothing Oh baby I am blue Oh I am blue for you You're lovelier than what a human being In its lonesome life ever accrues How can I dare to stop and see you leaving Oh baby I am blue Oh I am blue for you How could I even understand the reasons Is any of these sentiments a truth I guess there must be something about the season Oh baby I am blue Oh I am blue for you

Oh Lords 03:02
lyrics
buy track
I live day by day in two dozen opposing hours Oh i long to feel my body embraced by a gentle warmth Oh Lord let my crippled creeks Pour down into the stream Oh Lord let my crippling dreams 'Come humble merciful and lean Lover I pluck wild flowers for you in my days height Oh I wander deep into the meadow to keep me bright Oh lord let my meadowlarks Sing in a roaring choir Oh lord let my songs be sung From dusk till the dawn is ripe Lord and I will sing to you with all of my hearts divide Oh and will you pasture me on a meadow so green and wild Oh Lord let my separate paths Conflate and intertwine Oh Lord let the roads ahead Be rocky and joyous and mine

Tumbling Head 03:50
lyrics
buy track
I could meet you In the remains of fall And I could take you And you would take your toll Then I would wake you If anyone would wake at all And I would make you my love And that is all And in the nighttime We leave the windows and the doors so wide And I pick up my shoes and you pick up your shoes And up and off and on we ride Then we fade into the darkness Heading for the southern side And then this song is sung As it is sung tonight And we would creep Like and through the meadows fog Like love is cheap Yes and love is all but lost And the valley's deep And the hilltops they stand so tall Oh it's my hand, my heart and my skin And that is all Oh you're back in my sweet little hummingbird Your so humble and dreamy, graceful and full of words And jealously weeping, heartily waiting to be freed I recall the game and ain't it the same apart from me?

Nothing New 02:51
lyrics
buy track
Oh the bluebirds they're up in the mountains They all flew away from the heat And even in the heights of the pinnacles They're flying free Oh the fish they are deep in the ocean The water runs straight through their gills Babe that's not the way that we're breathing But they're breathing for you and me Babe I know you're feeling lonely But see I am alone here with you If the sun's beating down And the rain's coming up that ain't new See yesterday there was a fever Today all the beasts are getting wet Then again I guess it's good to see weather As hard as it gets Babe I know you feeling lonely But see I am alone here with you If the sun's beating down And the rain's coming up that ain't new Now after the rains are all over The result it is sticky and close I barely can breathe with this headache But what else would I choose Babe I know you feeling lonely But see I am alone here with you If the sun's beating down And the rain's coming up that ain't new

about

A small collection of songs for two people to sing as a duett written and recorded in the summer of 2015 in Jena, Germany.

Tumbling Trees is one of Eric Kroeber's former projects together with singer and viola player Mathilda Sobczak.

Since we're still very happy with the music, we offer the music via the Lightcap Bandcamp page.
