about

Inspired by Some Luck, by Jane Smiley.

lyrics

Father sows the corn
We need the snow to fall
The father gives us grace
This is our father’s place
The old ways are fine
Slowly we’ll glide
Our world carries on
In this place we call home
Growing, always
Sowing, sometimes
Knowing, what will be perhaps
Learning, from the
Ones we love, sometimes
Praying to, one above.
The family grows
The movies will show
How to dream, how to dare
How to love and to be fair
Learn your lessons as you go
Your next year could be bad
52 bushels an acre
Is the best we’ve ever had
Growing, always
Sowing, sometimes
Knowing, what will be perhaps
Learning, from the
Ones we love, sometimes
Praying to, one above.
Extending, for the
Corn is in, we are
Rotating, we are
Rotating
Our mother bears a child
She’ll be with them for a while
They can’t always stay
Release their arms and fly away

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.
