about

This "cover" was commissioned by Tim Lowth as us doing a version of his original instrumental piece. John got to work on it and expanded it into a song of truly epic proportions, including writing all the lyrics and adding the material for the middle section and introduction.

While officially a cover song, we think of this as a new original track co-written with Tim. We are really proud of it and we hope that you are too.

lyrics

All work and no play can leave you blind
Time for a rest in the shade
Time to make time to be revived

These hay bales will look great once they’re done
But in the heat of midday
Linger a while and be reminded

Sweet breath of Zephyr’s song
Sweet breath of Zephyr’s song to the sun
When worries all pile on
Make sure that you hold on
Springtime will come

Where ancient history’s written in the walls
Get so excited by life
Brought here by all that came before us

Sweet breath of Zephyr’s song
Sweet breath of Zephyr’s song to the sun
When hopes and plans go wrong
Make sure that you hold on
Summer will come

Time to make time to be delighted
Linger a while and be inspired
Space to make space so you remember
Pause to refresh when minds are tired
Checking to check that hearts are open
Grace to give grace when this world’s sore
Take stock to restock on compassion
Love choosing love if you’re unsure

Ancient history’s written in the walls
We weather storms in this life
Forgetting all that came before us
Oh oh

Sweet breath of Zephyr’s song
Draw breath and sing along to the One
When troubles all pile on
Remember to hold on
Springtime will come
Springtime will come
