about

Lifelines is the first single taken from Sweet Gum Tree's forthcoming new LP Silvatica.

lyrics

We’d set our minds
To Greenwich Mean Time
Honeymooning pilgrims
Secretly wed, lovers on the run
With our minds full of hopes
And a bun in the oven
Counting all our blessings
And it felt like wonderland
When we walked hand in hand
To Violet Hill Gardens
There we sat in the sun
Blissfully beaming
At the peak of our heyday
Such a defining moment
To remember our love by

With our clandestine passenger
Before the third-type encounter

Mostly fulfilled, wonderfully pregnant
Absolutely thrilled, shamelessly expectant
You appeared to me like the Virgin Mary
With your heart full of grace
And your peaceful stare
Radiating over London with natural care
And we got to meet
The kindest human beings
All’s good in St John’s Wood
Flowing in an effortless way
And no evil spoiled our day
I still hold on to that feeling
Like a lifeline

Such a sense of wholeness, lover
How could we ever get higher

Let’s set our minds
To Greenwich Mean Time
Be honeymooning pilgrims
Again and again
