Ms. Barbara,

Here it is. It IS a beautiful song...

WEB OF BIRDSONG
(Bob Coltman)

If you will weave me a web of birdsong from the thrush or the linnet,
Then you shall have my own true heart and all the love that's in it,
If you will weave me a scallop shell as purple as violets in may,
I'll belong to you and only you--and never go away.

If you will buy me a green grass basket to carry our hearts love in,
Then you shall have my heart and hand to lock with a silver pin,
If you will buy me a cloak of kisses for cover on a rainy day,
I'll belong to you and only you and never go away.

If you will build me a stout strong boat to sail on the water so wide,
Then I shall sail the seas of love and you shall ride beside,
If you will bear us a cobweb child that lives into the day,
I'll belong to you and only you and never go away.

If you will love me more than fully and longer than forever,
Then you and I shall together be--a knot that none can sever,
If you will love me in the night and love me in the day,
I'll belong to you and only you and never go away.

Barbara---I know this song isn't very PC, but I'd like to think this song depicts reality and not the fantastic vision many would say it does. I, for one, believe this song.

By the way, I was wrong in my previous answer! This song wasn't on the OUT WEST LP. I think it was on Janet Smith's solo LP done a long while after the first album.

Well, whatever...now you've got Bob Coltman's song.

Enjoy!
