The Rushes

from The Snow Ballad by Ali George

/

lyrics

The small ways of the rushes are quiet.
I stepped over the fence tonight.
The church bells of Leigh are not ringing,
But the birds of the brook are singing.

All my rushes die while I am away.
Oh, my angel, why don’t we come to stay
For a while.

The small ways of the rushes are wild.
I slipped through golden trees tonight.
I miss quiet evenings like this
(Soft as my sweet lover’s kiss).

All my rushes die while I am away.
Oh, my angel, why don’t we come to stay
For a while.

The small ways of the rushes are quiet.
I stepped over the fence tonight.
The sunset is an hour away,
So, I’ll wait out what’s left of the day.

All my rushes die while I am away.
Oh, my angel, why don’t we come to stay
For a while.
