about

(Contined from A Slip and a Slide)

True to form, I sat on the idea for months afterwards. No creative ideas about the poor girl from Dublin. Then one day I was listening through some of the many many unfinished recordings on my PC and I came across an instrumental I'd recorded using the Fripp tuning CGDAEG. I started singing 'four little leaves' along with it and that gave me the way into the next song. It's as far as you get from 'I would write country' in Gerry's song, but it's what I could do at the time. I wanted to describe someone at rock bottom, who finds a four leaf clover and gets the courage to go on. It's about a frozen moment in her life. We still don't know exactly who or where.

lyrics

Four little leaves
Here in my hand
I got lucky
Right here where I stand
Four little leaves
Four little leaves

Me I have nothing
Came from nowhere
I don't have dreams
I wouldn't dare

Now I have something
This blessing I've found
Only because my eyes were cast down
Only because I was on the ground

Four little leaves
Four little leaves
