Winter Light (You Wanted Love)

from Legerdemain by Esgazette

/

lyrics

You wanted love but it don’t come free,
I’ve never seen it grow on trees.
You've got to catch it before it’s ripe and all the wasps and fruit flies bite.
Apples, damsons raining down, rolling onto the grassy ground.

You wanted love but it don’t come free.
Not even a guarantee.
There's no guarantee, there's no guarantee.
I've never seen it grown on trees.

You press a button the action stops.
It starts in capitals, ends in dots.
All the sentences you had lost, pouring from your mouth like a fountain spout.

There's no guarantee, there's no guarantee.

Rain and drizzle and water drops,
Roll down your nose into your socks.

You wanted love but it don’t come free,
I’ve never seen it grown on trees.
You wanted love but it don't come free,
Not even a guarantee.
You wanted love but it don’t come free,
I’ve never seen it grown on trees.

You press a button and the action stops. It starts in capitals, ends in dots. All the sentences you had lost pouring from your mouth like a fountain spout.

There's no guarantee, there's no guarantee.

Rain and drizzle and water drops roll down your nose into your socks.

You wanted love but it don’t come free,
I’ve never seen it grow on trees.
You wanted love but it don’t come free.
You wanted love but it don’t come free.
I’ve never seen it grow on trees.
Not even a guarantee. There's no guarantee...

Esgazette UK

Esgazette is an independent recording project that has been active since the 1980s. It began in London and is now based in Scotland. At the same time both a band with songs and an extensive catalogue of instrumentals. While broadly described as alternative electronic, there is no musical plan for Esgazette. So you may find a pop song next to a piece of musique concrète. Good luck. ... more
