Текст песни Seven Notes (Adieu My Love) - Nancy Kerr

The need to sing of wandering
Adieu my love, adieu my home
Has beat its wings upon my strings
Adieu my love, adieu my home
Like seeds of red by cuckoos flung
Adieu my love, adieu my home
Like beads of blood upon the tongue
Adieu my love, adieu my home
Just seven notes in every sound
Adieu my love, adieu my home
Could scarce express one scrap of ground
Adieu my love, adieu my home
This gaze of lust, that frown of grace
Adieu my love, adieu my home
This singing space my ribs surround
Adieu my love, adieu my home
Adieu my love, adieu my home
Adieu my love, adieu my home

The south and north of our desire
Adieu my love, adieu my home
As back and forth to Africa
Adieu my love, adieu my home
On crooked wings with summer's stealth
Adieu my love, adieu my home
The cuckoo sings of commonwealth
Adieu my love, adieu my home
Put seven notes in every breast
Adieu my love, adieu my home
In which a soul's seduction rests
Adieu my love, adieu my home
Let palettes mix in gaudy bliss
Adieu my love, adieu my home
This nuptial kiss of east and west
In you my love, in you my home
Adieu my love, adieu my home
Adieu my love, adieu my home
Adieu my love, adieu my home
Adieu my love, adieu my home
