Your Love Be Mine

about

Your Love be Mine by Marc Block.

Another Faerie-auction song, for Octopus. He didn’t give me a brief, just asked me to write him a song, and I took inspiration from watching him doing naked Yoga in the field at Paddington Farm. The song became something of an invocation, and an homage, with Octopus cast as a Faerie archetype.

lyrics

Close your eyes
Slowly breathe deeply in, hold a moment and release
Slowly breathe deeply in, follow, find yourself at peace
Deep on a hot summer night, deem my love to be yours
I will find you, love, where you live
I will find you, love, where waters run bright
By the sea, deep on a hot summer night
By the sea, deem my love to be yours
Let my love be yours, your love be mine

In a gently swaying golden field you stand
Beside an old oak in full green force
Gazing out to distant mountain lands
Solstice sunrise begins its course

In the early light you reach to greet the sun
Boundlessly sky-clad and lithe
Every fibre of your being firing as one
Finding light, vital, young and alive

Your roots are spreading deep and wide
Holding you earthfast and strong
Into air you’re extending high
Eastward breezing, free, where you belong

In the fire-dance of sunrise you revel
Burning away shame and sorrow
Rejoicing in renewal and revival
Bathing where bright waters flow

Now circled with your love-tribe in the green
In every breath receiving calm
Leaving you lean, sharp and keen
Sighing away the shadows of harm

You inspire and surrender in equal measure
Sharing preparing your rare brew
Caressing, celebrating pleasure
Nourishing the company around you
