Music Journal, Entry No. 3 - "House and Garden" | Sarah Joy

Notes:
This song is dedicated to my granddad, Thomas Hohstadt.

Lyrics:
I had always admired how the floorboards shone
But that day, there were leaves by the door
I couldn't bring home
I couldn't bring home
The owner of the house and garden
And I was alone
I was alone
All alone in house and garden
So I swept until they were clean
The meanness of mortality
Tossed outside
I sighed in relief, but too soon
The meanness of mortality
In a single leaf
Had evaded my eye
I couldn't bring home
I couldn't bring home
The owner of the house and garden
And I was alone
I was alone
All alone in house and garden
So I swept until they were clean
I swept so I wouldn't scream
I wept 'til I couldn't breathe
Then I went outside
I'm not alone
I'm not alone
Not alone in house and garden
For the birds were eager to sing
The trees were moving with me
And I, I couldn't breathe
A single leaf
Had evaded my eye

Just imagine, being the kid whose mother sings to them with this heavenly voice. 🌹

Pretty song. Very moving. I do understand why fall seems the end of things, but it is also a time of rest and change, and beauty.

[@sarahjoyrecordings]

Thank you! And yes, that’s really what the song is about - loss but also the beauty that can be found in a time of transition.
