about

"Would you" was my contribution to "Wolfsong's", an album created in 2010 by several musicians releasing their music via Jamendo. It seems it has disappeared from the site. It was our "Thank you" to Barbara Wolfsong, one of Jamendos most active reviewers and artist motivators. She is a fantastic poetress and photographer, too. Her blog, orangeupurple.blogspot.de, is a wonderful place to relax, to think and to find inspiration. I wrote several songs based on poems I found there, like this one.

lyrics

If I could give you the song of the birds as a gift
would you be happy?
would you sing like the sparrow
hidden under the tuft
seeking life with her
diamond sharp eyes?
Would you?

If I could give you rainbows to hold in your hand
would you be happy?
would your smile shine
like the flare of the creek
as it travels
thronged with life
Would you?

If I could give you the cerulean sky to cover your breasts
would you be happy?
will your heart melt at the sight
of the sun
knitting patterns of wing
in the drifting mist
Would you?

If I could give you the lonely star of the north
would you be happy?
would you cry less in the dark of the night
as the silence gathers like feathers
to cover your weary heart
Would you?

Would you be happy?

and I . . . Would I be content?
Would I?
