선곡 하던중 이 곡을 듣다 보니  정말 "Oldies But Goodies" 곡이라는 생각이 든다.

 

The Garden of Jane Delawney (1970)

 

             - Trees -

The poet's voice lingers on
His words hang in the air
The ground you walk upon
Might as well not be there
Might as well not be there

I'll take you through my dreams
Out into the darkest morning
Past the blood filled streams
Into the garden of Jane Delawney
Into the garden now

Though the rose is fair
Don't pluck it as you pass
For a fire will consume your hair
And your eyes will turn to glass
Your eyes will turn to glass

In the willow's shade
Don't lie to hear it weep
For its tears of gold and jade
Will drown you as you sleep
Will drown you now

Jane Delawney had her dreams
That she never did discover
For the flow that feeds the stream
Is the life blood of her lover
Is the life blood of her lover
And the purifying beam
Of the sun will shine here never
While the spirit of her dream
In the garden lives forever
Lives forever now

Trees는 69년에 결성되어70년 데뷔앨범『The Garden Of Jane Delawney』와

같은해에 나온『On the Shore』단 두장의 앨범만을 남기고 사라진 포크락 밴드다.

이 앨범에서 가장 아름다운곡 셀프 타이틀곡「Garden Of  Jane Delawney」
건들면 부서질것 같은 여린 어쿠스틱 기타와 잔잔하게 깔리는 하프시코드에 맞춰 노래하는
셀리아 험프리스의 "티끌하나없이" 깨끗한 목소리는 매력적인 포크음악의 진수를 들려준다!
