Ashfields and Brine

  • (Archie Fisher)

    Maybe ashfields and brine or gold flowers rare
    Time and sweet colombine will brighten the air
    And all of the sorrows and tears you have known
    Will be cinders and see where a blossom has grown
    Far from ashfields and brine

    Turn to the north wind's cold in your face
    Ask and you'll find a calm peaceful place
    A clear-running stream and a forest of pine
    A morning for dreams and an evening for wine
    Far from ashfields and brine

    Come when the autumn burns through my land
    And let its flame feel warm to your hand
    Stay by my side while the winter comes on
    You may leave in the spring when the memories are gone
    Of the ashfields and brine

    Love all the summer, carefree and warm
    Heed now the calm of the gathering storm
    Barren and bitter my last years will be
    From the smoke of the fire and the spray of the sea
    Leaving ashfields and brine

    Ashfields and brine or gold flowers rare
    Time and sweet colombine will brighten the air
    And all of the sorrows and tears I have known
    Will be cinders and see where a blossom has grown
    Far from ashfields and brine

Susannes Folksong-Notizen

  • [1988:] A new industrial estate now covers the old Inverness landfill on the Moray Firth which because of garden waste used to support a myriad of herbs and flowers despite the barren surroundings of cinders and sea. (Notes Archie Fisher, 'Sunsets I've Galloped Into')
