about

Half about love, half about doubt. Aidan drew form and lyric inspiration for this one from various Scots and Appalachian ballads.

lyrics

The sun has fickle mind, a more fickle mind than me
Maybe someday I’ll head away ‘till the sand parts from the sea.
Dreaming of my true love, should I find the time.
Oh the sun has a fickle mind, a fickle mind.

If I had a guitar string I’d play it endlessly
Singing of my baby, lips of sweet cherry.
Sing in the Summer, Winter into Spring.
Oh if I had a guitar string, a guitar string.

If I had a golden thread I’d sew my love to me.
Soon I’d miss the distance we used to hold between.
Drift asleep beside her, wishing on an empty bed.
Oh If I had a golden thread, a golden thread.

Make me a boat of elm and I’ll row myself to sea.
Soon I’d miss the anchor that never let me leave
Thinking on my darling, lonesome at the helm.
Oh make me a boat of elm, a boat of elm.

Fly me to a foreign land for the two of us to meet.
Sun that hugs the ocean, bright as silken sheets.
In time I’ll pine for winter, snowflakes on my palm.
Fly me to a foreign land, a foreign land.

When I’m done with wandering, whenever that may be
Could I look behind me to see you didn’t leave?
Will the breeze dance through me, cold across my skin?
When I’m done with wandering.
