Oh sister 04:59
Oh Sister, oh sister oh sister You don't know what’s... Oh Sister, oh sister oh sister You don't know what’s coming. Your sister's come a long way to find me, Through dust and dirges, climbing trees. You hide in the wilderness to keep yourself safe, From shadows and gallows that will seal your fate. You hide in the wilderness, fetch me water. You climb down trees and fetch me water. You hide in the wilderness till it rains for drowning children fill the heart with pain singing… Oh Sister, oh sister, oh sister You don't know what’s coming. You hide in the wilderness to keep yourself warm, A cold breeze is coming won’t you be for warned These woods are dangerous caused many to drown His all mighty hands going to smite you down you You hide in the wilderness and Fetch me water. You climb down trees and fetch me water. You hide in the wilderness till it rains for drowning children fill the heart with pain you’re singing… Oh Sister, oh sister, oh sister You don't know what’s coming. The birds and the people are swimming through trees, While a voice in the air says get down on your knees. A storms a brewing I can feel the rain, When people forget how to express their pain, You hide in the wilderness and fetch me water. You climb down trees and fetch me water. You hide in the wilderness till it rains For drowning children fill the heart with pain You’re singing… Oh Sister, oh sister, oh sister You don't know what’s... Oh Sister, oh sister, oh sister You don't know what’s... Oh Sister, oh sister, oh sister You don't know what’s coming.

Battleships 03:32
See enemy signs Along the cold way home With my eyes Your mind will define your time But if you choose to remain Then I will stay the same Remain the same.

She waits 04:34
She waits for the sea That took her man away To bring him back Smelling a bit like fish but she doesn't mind He takes her out on a paint-flaked rowboat And goes out til the end But it always comes back to the shore And goes out again. He tells her stories About how the mist and the sea Are like lovers at dawn And how he's not surprised They thought the world was flat Cos out in the ocean That's all you can see So why not Fall over the edge Of the sea That took her man away Once more. Doing circles in the water And all they can see Are their breaths Floating around And the sure sign of land When they get there He'll be back before long And she doesn't mind. Cos the tide is like boats It always comes back.

Orchards Toronto, Ontario

Orchards is a Toronto-based folk band delivering a modern twist to old folk sounds. They are a trio with no center but three equal parts, with theatrical antics to boot. With strings, horn, guitar, banjo, and vocals with epic melodies, they are reminiscent of Odetta and The Carter Family. ... more
