about

I wrote this song to accompany a festival set of the same title I put together in 2012. When I perform this song I usually clog but thought that here, the piece sounded better bare - ghostly.

lyrics

“Don't judge books by their covers”. My mother used to say:
“All isn't what it seems to be it just appears that way.
Look through the mask, under the glass and open every door.
If you don't find the answers there girl, roll the dice some more”.

For life is like a magic show.
A mystery, the more you see the less you seem to know.
Things vanish, people reappear - who's fake and what is true?
Come inside to enjoy the ride...the magic lies in you.

“Play every hand like it's your last, beware the Jack o' Hearts...
Conjure small feathers endlessly, be colourful, and smart.
Don't let them put you in a box and saw you down the middle,
Stay whole my love and remember there's wisdom in the riddle”.
