Harvest

WV2122/2025

Ecoline ink & watercolour van Gogh on Steinbach paper.

 

"Did I see you down

In a young girl's town

With your mother in so much pain?

I was almost there

At the top of the stairs

With her screaming in the rain

 

Did she wake you up to tell you that

It was only a change of plan?

Dream up, dream up

Let me fill your cup

With the promise of a man

 

Did I see you walking with the boys?

Though it was not hand-in-hand

And was some black face in a lonely place

When you could understand?

 

Did she wake you up to tell you that

It was only a change of plan?

Dream up, dream up

Let me fill your cup

With the promise of a man

 

Will I see you give more than I can take?

Will I only harvest some?

As the days fly past

Will we lose our grasp

Or fuse it in the sun?

 

Did she wake you up to tell you that

It was only a change of plan?

Dream up, dream up

Let me fill your cup

With the promise of a man..."
