Hills Snyder, 2014
Recorded live and produced by Joe Reyes, January 2016

lyrics

Happy String

he bowed her earlobe lightly
to see what note might sing
the ribbon from her hair fell free
and crowned his knee a king
the bow untied was now so vain
a heavy useless wing
and the snow outside don’t mean a thing

so the bow upon her earlobe
to see what note might sing
sang a song upon its knee
and her head began to swing
the note fell from her mouth and sang
a horsehair happy string
and the snow outside don’t mean a thing
