about

Written several years ago while Rebecca and Jonathan were living in France, this song now seems a bit prophetic. We have a baby, an orchard, and Jonathan wakes up way before Rebecca (it used to be the other way around).

lyrics

He is strong as sunlight.
In our home, he has dappled all our walls
And I sleep as he stirs.

Oh, love! You are sweet as any rain,
I will plant you a garden.
My love, I am young as any dawn.
I will give you a baby.

Come love, let us walk out in the dew.
There is life in the meadow.
The cherry tree where the creek runs in the Spring
Is blooming and white.

Oh love! You are strong as any tree,
I will plant you an orchard.
My love, I am pure as any spring,
I will give you a baby.

Oh child, we were wild when we fell in love!
And though the years have gone by you're still all that I can think of!
