Lyrics
the sound of singing from the heavens
mix with lighter shades of blue.
while the hay dries in the sunlight
voices tell a joke or two.
the garden shed that smelt of diesel
stood beside the apple tree,
and mushrooms grew along the river
which flowed out to the open sea

when we were young and we were old
the life and times cannot be sold
memories of Kumi road.
the naked flames that warm the bones
gently dance like butterflies
leather seats besides the window
cool you down and tranquilize.
cries of birth are met with flowers
mormans preach the laws of man,
quarry stones and fallen fence posts
are the fault of no-mans-land
