Description It isn't easy adding backing vocal tracks using Windows Movie Maker, but this is my first attempt. I'm interested to know what people think.
THE WHITE FLOWER OF THE BRAMBLE
(Words and Music by Giles Watson)
She?s the white flower of the bramble,
Dew-covered in the morn:
All others merely dusty leaves,
Tangled stems and thorns.
She?s the sweet flower of the raspberry;
I kiss her mouth more red.
Her taste is still upon my lips;
All bitterness has fled.
She?s a healing balm, a soothing herb,
Restoring sense and sight;
My pulse, my secret and my breath,
Respiring pure delight.
She?s the scented flower of apple;
Her perfume lingers still;
She?s a sunny day in winter
That chases off the chill.
She?s the white flower of the bramble;
The crown of stem and root;
And I shall love her all the more
When flower turns to fruit.
