Birch Book Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Please, won't you ask of me
Ask me to sing for you my new song
Please, won't you ask me to stay
Ask me to play for you my new song

It was just the other day
While sitting with my morning tea
Looking through the windows early haze

A lone melody
Came flitting floating down on me
I caught it like a leaf in autumn's breeze

Please, won't you ask of me
Ask me to sing for you my new song
Please, won't you ask me to stay
Ask me to play for you my new song

The other evening
While ambling down the street
Something came on to my empty mind
The words they did appear

Upon my notebook written clear
Fitting so, the melody and rhyme

Kindly urge me to continue being present

It was just the other day
Recently, on another day

While sitting with my morning tea
When I was relaxing with a cup of tea

Looking through the windows early haze
Observing the foggy gloom outside through a window

A lone melody
A solitary tune

Came flitting floating down on me
Drifted through the atmosphere, brushing against me

I caught it like a leaf in autumn's breeze
I gathered it up as though it was a falling autumn leaf

The other evening
On a different evening
