Blue Bells

A song about spring, the reawakening of life.  Warm acoustic melodies blend with organic instrumentation, bird song mixed with peaceful soundscapes

Lyrics:
I've been running through the fields
With the wind wisping the scenery
I guess the blossoms are in bloom
Racing in to springtime
A moment to feel alive
Returning with exploding hues

Days are getting longer
I see the sun
reflecting on
the colours

Bluebells growing
Birdsong soundscaping the sky
In the springtime
In the springtime

Sprouting flowers, daylight hours growing again
Crawling out the cave and see the world come back to life
Our garden paradise

Blue skies come over
In clarity
A path I see
Forward

Bluebells growing
Birdsong soundscaping the sky
In the springtime
In the springtime

Leaves are growing
Flower crowned
And all the bees are buzzing round
All..
The pretty things with wings
Returning

Bluebells growing
Birdsong soundscaping the sky
In the springtime
In the springtime
