about

Tom Doncourt loved planting poppies and flowering apple trees in his garden. His brick house was covered in English ivy. This song is a metaphor for his lifetime of twists

lyrics

A Vine

Thorns against the iron rail
Shadows twisting for
A silver sliver of pale sun

A Vine can grow
However slow
Through the cracks in stone
To Tangled Gardens where
Strange flowers grow

Twist like a Vine
Twist all your life

Under the metal grate
Broken bottles and discard
Growing out of sight
Struggling for that single ray of light

Strange Flowers Grow
Strange Flowers Grow

Torn leaves litter
Untended spaces
Mosaics of fractured plans
Rusted cans on
Vague memories side streets
The tangled gardens where
Strange Flowers grow

Twist like a Vine
Twist all your life
