about

Inspired by A Tale For The Time Being, by Ruth Ozeki.

lyrics

Down is up and up is down
Tell me are you going round
Down is up and up is down
Tell me are you going round
Is this your first time or is this your last
Can you see the moments as they pass
For the time being I will stay
For the time being I will stay here
For a time, for your time
Can you see, how the trees...
Growing up and growing down
Tell me are we going round?
Into the ground
Into the sky
Into the sea
Inside me
All in time
For the time being
For the time...
For the time being I will stay
For the time being I will stay here
For the time being I will stay
For the time being I will stay

The Bookshop Band write songs inspired by books and play them in bookshops. They started as a collaboration between a group of musicians in Bath and their local independent bookshop, Mr B's Emporium. Now they are about to go on tour, sponsored by Vintage Books and Independent Booksellers Week, around other bookshops and lit fests. Catch them if you can.
