Topic: Old Blue Songs.
I began writing this song some months ago, I tried putting it to music and failed, so I found it under a stack of papers on my desk today, just words, so I put some music to it and added a few extra lines and here we are. Because it mentions "love" I thought it was about my wife, but after reading it I can see it's about my mother, who loved nature and could name all the birds in the garden! And she gave me my love of music, as she used to sing to me all the time when I was a kid, my brother and sisters don't sing or play any instruments.
As I've said before, I don't know where this stuff comes from, and I don't ask
