Bushes and Briars - Sandy Denny
Bushes and Briars
I can't believe that it's so cold And there ain't been no snow. The sound of music it comes to me From
every place I go. Sunday morning, there's no one in church, But the clergy's chosen man And he is fine I won't worry
about him. Got the book in his hand.
Oh, there's a bitter east wind, and the fields are swaying, The crows are
round their nests. I wonder what he's in there a saying To all those souls at rest. I see the path which lead to
the door, And the clergy's chosen man. Bushes and briars You and I, Where do we stand?
I wonder if he knows
I'm here, Watching the briars grow. And all these people beneath my shoes, I wonder if they know. There was a
time when every last one, Knew a clergy's chosen man. Where are they now? Thistles and thorns, Among the sand.
I
can't believe that it's so cold And there ain't been no snow. The sound of music it comes to me From every place
I go. Sunday morning, there's no one in church, But the clergy's chosen man Bushes and briars, Thistles and thorns Upon
the land.
