'Mulberry Mine' is the song that I wrote as an ode to trees. You can find it on iTunes here.

 

It is part of the latest album of the Belgian duo Billy & Bloomfish (Pascale Michiels and Kathleen Vandenhoudt) who set my lyrics to music.

 

These are the full lyrics:

 

 

Mulberry Mine

 

 

 

There is an open invitation

 

Along a path I walk alone

 

With a little imagination

 

I have learned to call it home

 

 

 

At first I just saw vegetation

 

Trunks all crooked and arms spread so wide

 

Dating back many generations

 

Living pillars, day and night

 

 

 

Then one morning I heard your whisper

 

It was as if you called my name

 

There was no way I could resist you

 

And I sensed you felt the same

 

 

 

Mulberry mine, oh mulberry mine  

 

You’ve been there so long, I sing you this song

 

Mulberry mine, oh mulberry mine,

 

So strong and sweet, let’s just intertwine 

 

 

 

You show me not one face but many

 

I judge not, you tell me aloud

 

You carry a host of antennae

 

And feel what it’s all about

 

 

 

You smile, you cry, you blossom and fade

 

You cast your spell and I explore

 

The myriad riddles you’ve displayed

 

I’ll be back for even more

 

 

 

When I‘d run, you stay in one spot

 

When I don’t know, you say it’s fine

 

When my mind stops you bring a new thought

 

You are my haven and shrine
