about

Searching for Lambs is an old English song. A love song told only from the perspective of the person who has fallen in love with the young maiden. We never get to hear her voice or know how the story ends. It’s usually played in a minor key, but we wanted to leave it in the realm of a foggy morning vision so we play it in mixolydian which makes it less emotionally clear I think.

lyrics

As I went walking one May morning,
One May morning betime,
I met a maiden, from home had strayed,
Just as the sun did shine.

"What makes you rise so soon, my dear,
Your journey to pursue?
Your pretty little feet they tread so sweet,
Strike off the morning dew."

"I'm going to feed my father's flock,
His young and tender lambs,
That over hill and over dale
Lie waiting for their dams."

"O stay, o stay, you handsome maid,
And rest a moment here.
For there is none but you alone
That I do love so dear."

"How gloriously the sun does shine,
How pleasant is the air.
I'd rather rest on true love's breast
Than any other where."

"For I am thine and thou art mine,
No man shall uncomfort thee.
We'll join our hands in wedded bands
And married we will be."
