Ecce Quam Bonum (Caitlin's Song) 03:45
lyrics
buy track
Behold how good a thing it is For brethren to dwell in unity. Behold how good a thing it is For brothers to dwell as one. Ecce quam bonum! My friends we're standing at the great divide And you must go out on your own. How strange to think that you were once a child Now setting for forth to forge yourself a home. Know that though we're far apart You're never alone! Caitlin, even when I'm old and grey, I'll picture you standing in the sun, A daffodil worn sweetly in your windy hair, A smile for the afternoon to come- A smile for Springtime ending the Summer begun. Behold how good a thing it is. Behold how beautiful too. Recall the friendship that we all have shared. Recall this melody for you. Ecce quam bonum! Ecce quam bonum! Ecce quam bonum!

Lovers in War (The Cross) 03:47
lyrics
buy track
She: I will wait for you. Like you asked me to, I will wait. Do you, or can you still recall The farewell we shared? It was a glowin' fall. My head hangs low In the harsh fallen snow And you are fighting far, Far away, Far away. He: Darling, I remember when All the earth we cleared Came back green again. That spring came in fresh and new And your skin smelled sweet Like the early dew. My head hangs low In the harsh fallen snow And you are fighting far, Far away, Far away. They: Will you sit and dream Of a cabin by a stream- Of a son who looks like you- Of a world that is born new?

Oh, How Sweet It Will Be! 03:07
lyrics
buy track
When we meet again, we'll fade like moth wings into dust, And when we reach our end, the earth will devour us. I will be a lily fair and the moon will pour from my milk-white hair. You will be a golden tree. The sap will flow sweet from your knobby knees. And oh, how sweet it will be! Meet me in the dusk; we'll waltz atop the moss and rust. Meet me on the hill, where in the wind you'll lose your guilt. And I'll forget your name! I'll love you sweetly all the same. And you'll forget my face, praising some petals in its place. And oh, how sweet it will be! And oh, how sweet it will be!

about

We'll be adding new songs as we record them! These songs were all written while we were at Sewanee or in the year following, so this project feels a long time coming! Thanks for listening!
