Tim Tyler: Strings in the apple and air

Voice: Tim Tyler Tune: Ivan Pawle Music: Robin Williamson, Janet Williamson Lyrics: James Joyce Strings in the earth and the air Make music sweet Strings by the river Where the willows meet There's music along the river For love wanders there Pale leaves on his mantle Dark flowers on his hair All softly straying With head to the music bent And fingers playing Upon an instrument. Twilight turns from amethyst To deep and deeper blue Lamps light with a pale green glow The trees of the avenue The old piano plays an air Sedate and slow and gay She bends upon the yellow keys Her head inclines this way Shy thoughts and grave wide eyes And hands that wander as they list Twilight turns a darker blue With lights of amethyst.
