out of doors - will burns & hannah peel lyrics

out of doors

we knew summer as mosquito time
playing itself out in the damp wood
and the madness really
of dawn chorus being taped
and field recordings made
so we might never lose a thing
later emptying his house, i found the tape machine
hit the play b-tton and watched
the acid tape spooled through the rollers
the ribbon tore against the tape heads
the capstands still running
still keeping perfect time

it’s a weekly hour i spend now
noting the changing greens
of his nursing home garden
he cannot grasp what it is i played him
had a report of bird song
swells into the sp-ce left between us
sitting here in this, his last enlightened room

- will burns hannah peel lyrics
