What a lovely video. Really well designed and adds something to the song unlike so many music videos.

Gathered ‘round the fire Weariness released Fruits of earth for hire Spices from the east Burn the midnight oil Troubles take flight Running up the chimney And off into the night It’s a sacred parlance It’s a tie that binds You fold in your spirit I’ll fold in mine A love on the table A love on the vine Two souls unstable Souls intertwined I guess I know not why it heals us so I guess I know not why I guess I know not what stirs the pain within our souls But this time together keeps me high Each flavor we elect To throw onto the flames They are each of our children They bear each of our names The pan is warming up Simmering the stew It’s one part me To two parts you So cut the capers up Drink the vapors in It’s a freedom to me It’s a purging of sin Share a plate together Then I’ll be at peace Fortune from the heather Spices from the east Whatever you think of me There’s no sweetness in my smile Only a sweetness in my tooth Whatever we’re drinking Should sustain us for a little while I hope it helps us speak our truth Arrived in the Middle Ages Money well spent Accepted his wages Peppercorn rent Depth to the flavor Whatever would work A new route to Asia Colonial perks The world today is different Smaller by the hour Still worth its weight in gold Still sweet and sour I shouldn’t take it for granted But I do every day Still sailing all the way down from bay of Bombay Oh king Charlemagne sowed the finest seeds in the west Filled his garden with sprigs of thyme And the crusaders Returning from their sullen quest Opened the routes to a sweeter wine Well here I stand And I stand at your behest With spices local or Byzantine Oh my maritime Silk Road We are coalesced We are coalesced Whenever we dine We are coalesced whenever we dine A puzzle with searching For every last piece Piecing it together With spices from the east Gather from the soil Live off all she bears Laugh a little quick Before we return there

Hoping that Threadbare & Sweet on You will end up as being singles/videos ;-)
