THIS IS A CALLING
WE LEFT THE LAW AND MISFORTUNE BEHIND
AND WE WERE LONG GONE BEFORE THEY PUT IT RIGHT
AND WE WERE ALWAYS WHAT YOU COULD CALL CLOSE
AND NOW I HANG ON TO YOU LIKE FLESH ON A BONE
AND YOU ARE MORE THAN WELCOME AROUND HERE
I’VE WATCHED THE BACK DOOR FOR MORE THAN THREE YEARS
WITH A RIFLE AND A SUITCASE OF BOOKS
YOU NEVER WILL BUT YOU SHOULD KNOW THAT YOU COULD
WHEN EVERY CLUMSY AND UNWELCOME KNOCK
WELL THAT’S ME FUMBLING AT THE LOCK
I HAVE A DREAM OF THE NIGHT THAT WE MET
WHEN I WAS SO SICK BUT YOU LET ME IN YET
YOU PULLED ME IN YES AND NOW
THIS IS A CALLING A CALL TO YOUR ARMS
THEY FILL UP TANKERS WITH BUCKETS OF MEN
SET EM LOOSE ON THE BLUE OCEAN
AND NONE OF EM KNOW THE SHAPE OF THE PLAN
THE METHOD IN THE MADNESS THE LIES OF THE LAND
THEY GOT ENOUGH DIRT TO COVER THEIR TRACKS
BUT TOO MUCH TO EVER GO BACK
THIS IS THE SALE OF THE CENTURY
THE WORST DEAL THAT WE’LL EVER NEED
IT’S ROTTEN BUT WE SETTLE FOR IT STILL
THIS IS A CALLING A CALL TO YOUR ARMS
HOW BAD DO THINGS HAVE TO GET
FOR A MAN TO CHANGE WHAT HE IS
I’M ON THE SQUARE AND THE MARKET IS GONE
WE MADE A GHOST TOWN PALE AND WAN
AND SOME NIGHTS WHEN IT’S ESPECIALLY BLACK
I IMAGINE THAT I COULD WRITE YOU RIGHT BACK
IF I WERE A POET OF PRAYER OR OF SONG
THAT YOU WOULD LISTEN HEAR IT AND SING ALONG
THIS IS A CALLING A CALL TO YOUR ARMS

The Great Park Germany
Stephen Burch. Problem folk, songs with words.
"Ein Singer-Songwriter ist immer auch Poet. Und Burch ist ein ganz besonderer." (Süddeutsche Zeitung)
The Great Park recommends:
Te he amado en un hotel en la calle del Divino Pastor - EP
by Fee Reega
Brilliant albums by the wonderful Fee Reega.
go to album
This epic Woodland Recordings compilation features myself and 49 other artists - over three hours of music, most of it exclusive to this collection. Crazy.
go to album
One of the most experimental and chaotically brilliant pieces of noise by seven good friends of mine.

For She Who Hangs The Moon
