lyrics

Plucked a feather from my back
And started writing
And the shapes I scrawl
They always draw out you
This life is just a controlled falling
Out of skin and into blue

We get older
And our ever inward turning shoulders
Hold our heads and hearts a little harder
We get older
And grow afraid of reaching out
For losing form

So I made plans to turn up uninvited
The bard of all things unrequited
With a cup of tea and daffodils
To see if you're still young enough
To do something foolish

Pointed my toes and started walking
And the lines I trace they all lead back to you

We get colder
Distanced from the blood and string that holds us
We get colder
And grow afraid of reaching out
For losing warmth

So I made plans to turn up uninvited
The bard of all things unrequited
With a cup of tea and daffodils
To see if you're still young enough
To do something foolish

Lifted my head and started singing
Trying to fill the echoed spaces left by you
Sounding out like a bell
I hope this finds you and finds you well

We get older
And our ever inward turning shoulders
Hold our heads and hearts a little harder
We get colder
And grow afraid

So I made plans to turn up uninvited
The bard of all things unrequited
With a cup of tea and daffodils
To see if you're still young enough
To do something foolish
Foolish with me
Wont you be foolish
Foolish with me

about

Jacob de Berker UK

Itchy footed, heart-on-sleeve troubadour originally from the south west of england and now back in the west country after 6 years of living in Amsterdam. My songs are as honest as I can make them and couple my love of lyrics with guitar and banjo

Here's some lovely words about the EP:
