about

Following an attraction to the drama and depth of fairytale, ‘Seven Years Below the Flowers’ tells the story of the spellbound musician, drawn to the underworld by the promises and allure of the menacing and beautiful Fairy Queen.

lyrics

Sitting aimlessly, I saw a lady green
and lilac as the heather
She said, “I am the queen of the underneath,
I have no place in heaven

But I’ve come to visit to look for you
if you follow me, you’ll see what I can do
I’m awfully busy, I must go soon
But if you allow me, I’ll take you too

Step up start the to and froing
Take my hand we’ll get going
The wind will take us where it’s blowing
Come on let’s sway
For seven years below the flowers
I will teach you all my powers
Years will pass as if they’re hours
Let’s get away

When you return from me
they’ll say that you have been
dreaming this ordeal
They’ll call it make believe
cos they don’t see
a dream made all that’s real

They know so surely
what’s real and not
I know when we’re dancing
all the world’s made up
Is our time finite
or infinite?
I know when we’re dancing
time is definite

Get up start the to and froing
Find that step that gets you going
The wind will take us where it’s blowing
Come on let’s sway
For seven years below the flowers
I will teach you all my powers
Years will pass as if they’re hours
Let’s get away
