Fragile Light – Copyright D.Dagenais 2009
Green mittens, black boots
White beard, red suit
These are some of the parts
But not the heart
Short bread and cold milk
Children fed and lights put out
These are some of the scenes
But not what it means
When Mary bore her child she knew where he was going
and when the baby smiled how could she go on knowing
there’s no shelter for a king
his mother’s arms won’t save from anything
fragile light
fragile light
white snow and red sleigh
coloured lights cast a blinding glaze
it’s not surprising when it fades beneath the haze
when Mary bore her boy
she knew about tomorrow
and when the baby laughed
all she felt was sorrow
there’s no shelter for a king
his mother’s arms won’t save from anything
fragile light
fragile light
there’s no shelter for a king
his mother’s arms won’t save from anything
fragile light
fragile light
Introspective, homespun folk tunes from John Donne that feel informed by the sugary bleakness of '80s and '90s indie pop. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 1, 2023
