lyrics

See the generations
see them passing by
a host of memories
bearing dreams for light

One to slay
and one to weep
and one to lose and one to keep

And one to hurt, one to heal
one to give and one to steal
and one to loathe, to loathe

See the generations
see them trudging by
how their tears fall
how their faces shine

I have been them all
I remember well
my birthings and my dyings
the colours of my soul
but now I'm so tired, mother
take me with you when you go

Ah no, my child
go back to sleep
for living is a dream
and you must learn to play your part
and call them by their names
the comrades with whom you fight this life
so many and many a time

See the generations
see them marching by
how they bravely live their lives
how they bravely die

I have been them all
I remember well
my birthings and my dyings
the colours of my soul
but now I'm so tired, mother
take me with you when you go

about

Austro-British singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, artist and yarn-spinner, whose imaginative forays into dark folk tales, humour-laden
