lyrics

THE FRUIT ROOM

The jasmine grows in through the walls
Into the fruit room its perfume blows
The lucid sun before the storm
Around the cot where
She listens to the hush of the corn.

The mellow rhyme of slow rain falls
Before the summer storms
Swell round the fruit room
And buckle the pip scattered floor
And the breeze from the west utters.

The jasmine grows
Slowly uncoils into the summer storms
Baskets and blades hang from the walls
Around the fruit room
A shipwreck in an ocean of corn.

The jasmine grows in through the walls
Into the fruit room its perfume blows
The lucid sun before the storm
Around the cot where
She listens to the hush of the corn
And the breeze from the west utters.

Words: S H Jones
