Barley Field 05:55
We laid down in the barley field When we were hiding from our mothers I can’t describe how love should feel But i know it smells like barley ripe for harvest So let the barley be harvested around us And like our love let it turn into dust Oh that barley field and us Those Little black bugs fly around And they find shelter in her shining blonde hair I want to scream, I want to shout But i know that no one can know that we’re down here So let the barley be harvested around us And like our love let it turn into dust The barley fields and us Let it turn into dust You can’t leave it swinging in the breeze You’ve got hungry mouths to feed So turn that barley field and us into dust Do you hear the tractor as it comes? Do you see those metal blades? they are a spinnin' You are my love you are my love And every end must have a new beginning They’ll mix the barley with our blood And take us to a place so far away dear You are my love you are my love And all i need to know is that you’ll be near So let the barley be harvested around us And like our love let it be turned into dust That barley fields and us You can’t leave it swinging in the breeze You’ve got hungry mouths to feed So turn that barley field and us into dust

Don’t tell your lawyers that you were with me last night Cos you weren’t with me last night You were in st Geromes arms Don’t tell your lawyers that you were with me last night Cos you weren’t with me last night You were locked in your new lovers arms Well I won’t lie I was in his arms last night Cos he saved my life When you were out there on the road Don’t tell your lawyers that you were with me last night Cos you weren’t with me last night You were In St Geromes Arms St Gerome walked me home when I fell off my bicycle He never asked me for anything Certainly not to lie to the law! Don’t tell your lawyers that you were with me last night Cos you weren’t with me last night You were in St Gerome’s arms

This Garden of Eden I would stand up and leave it To be with the one that I love This heaven on earth Is just a pile of dirt Without the one that I love ju76ty Well you’ve found a place that is wild and evil And I’ve found a place that is peaceful and calm But this heaven on earth Is just a pile of dirt Without the one that I love I’ve found a place i can call my own And you’ve found a place that is way too far gone But this heaven on earth Is just a pile of dirt Without the one that I love All my friends are here around me I have built a home for myself But oh how this home gets mighty lonely I think I’d rather be burning at the gates of hell This heaven on earth Is just a pile of dirt Without the one that I love This Garden of Eden I’d stand up and leave it To be with the one that I love Oh lord strike me down, I don’t belong here anyhow Without the one Without the only one Without the one that i love

Have you heard the news? Jenny Lee wants to marry me Under the boughs of the cherry blossom tree And although it does break my heart I cannot accept her love I promised my heart to a girl eight ago In a town on the other side of the world She’s livin’ there now with a guy from Wichita And here it’s me with Jenny Lee Have you heard the news? Jeremy wants to marry me Under the boughs of his favourite maple tree And although I once loved you I plan to say I do He built us a big old house in Wichita Big enough for a family Enclosed is my new address If you still wanna write to me Have you heard the news? Have you heard the news? Yes i heard the news Yes i heard the news! Well what did you do? What could i do? I thought about me and you But you do know, we’re through? Yeah, well what could i do? When i heard the news I heard the news

This cold mountain Is freezin me to death This cold mountain Is freezin me to death These old valleys Hold the secret of my birth This cold mountain Freezin me to death Well the night never sleeps when you’re tired Well the night came slippin in twilight Well the night came to loosen its fire This here night will never gonna let you let you out alive This nights night will never let you out alive This cold mountain Is freezin me to death This familiar feeling Has found me Frozen in my bed This cold mountain Has the mercy The mercy of a lonesome snake And it squeezes so tight Oh for heavens sake Well the night is here So you might as well sleep while you can! THIS IS NOT THE END This cold mountain Is freezin me to death

Well the earth has opened up and it has swallowed me I think it’s drinking time Well carve me up and serve me to my enemies I think it’s drinking time IT MUST BE DRINKING TIME Now I am gonna sit right here Michael said he’d buy us all a round of beer I am gonna sit right here and Michael, you’re gonna listen I lost the kindest heart to bless the southern hemisphere I think its drinkin time I could search this earth and still not find her anywhere I think its drinking time It must be drinking time Michael says well don’t be so mad Girls will come and girls will go and that’s a fact Michael’s seen it all before Well almost all... I don’t drink to forget Because the taste of wine Reminds me of you The earth has opened up and it has swallowed me I think it’s drinkin time Carve me up and serve me to my enemies I think it’s drinking time It must be drinking time One last thing before i go Michael needs a ride out to ivanhoe And theres one thing i know I’m way too drunk to take him So if someone was to be so kind They’d be taking a big weight off my mind I need to know he’ll be alright And he won’t be stuck in this hole forever I lost the kindest heart to bless the southern hemisphere I think its drinkin time I could search this earth and still not find him anywhere I think it’s drinking time The earth has opened up and it has swallowed me I think its drinking time Well carve me up and serve me to my enemies I think its drinking time I think it’s drinking time

Cats are fighting on your roof Your radio sings the blues Yes you’re staying in tonight Yes its clear that you don’t mind That the sun will rise Before you close your eyes And sleep will never come Sleep will never come How easy it is, for some to say You should sleep your nights away And live your life in the light of day Not hide your pretty face away Where your curtains are drawn Where your lights are all on Where sleep will never come Sleep will never come No need to try Why don’t you just enjoy the night Sleep will never come

about

Sombre and sweet tunes emanating from the influence of filmic soundscapes and folk story telling. Herein lies a short history of longing and elation, created for the sunrise in the depths of winter.

Wolf Von Trapp is the sometimes musical alter ego of Glen Walton, a theatre maker and tinkerer by trade who has spent the last 8 years galavanting around the world with the Junkyard Theatre group the Suitcase Royale.

From hours and hours of candle burning comes GENTLY GENTLY an 8 track EP from my bedroom to yours!
