Fay Victor Ensemble The Sign at the Door lyrics

The warm sky down here
Valley air
Keeps me comfy on this day
German Day seeing all the art around me burgeoning modern
Clean lines and barely rounded corners

I knew here when horses drew folks
and small thoughts dominated huge hosts.
Stories made us fear the unknown.
The witch and the warlock deep in the forest.
Cauldron waiting to fire.
“come and get me, come and get me”
That treacherous human other, fear lay out that way
“come and get me, come and get me”
Not here with us. Not here in us. We weren't the cause.
I changed all that. I changed all that.

Aesthetics no longer hindered any idea.
Why is form so important here and ignored there
Who decided these things anyway
I wanna know, I leave the valley

I walk up the hill
Cold windy lonely gripped fur coat
I can't bear it


I find myself tripping over branches
and leaves flung out across the sky
Bending over to keep my eyes safe, distant.
No spectacle to see through.
Deceit layered on windswept earth,
meeting the next corner I turn
Aesthetics no longer hindered any idea
Brutal air is all that's wanted here.

The sign at the door conjures brittle spirit,
Old and dry.
bleak like a desert
destined to do evil things.
Then write about them.
Ad nauseum
Ad infinitum
How now can we new say
Save me”

I walked through the town square
Enjoyed the warm sky down here
