about

Tara Reynolds introduced me to electric fence vaulting in rural Vermont. She is the inspiration for this song.

This song draws heavily on 'the folk process'. Which is to say that not all these lines are mine, I have borrowed from a number of previous sources:

"People come into our lives for a reason, a season, or a life time"
shared by my friend Peter Davison

"Beyond the place for right and wrong
There is a field I’ll met you there"
~Rumi

"The parrots of heaven will crack sugar
when we laugh you and I"
~Rumi (of course)

lyrics

Electric Fence


Your love zaps me like an electric fence
I’m jolted nose to toes when I get too close to you
Are we here for a reason, or a sea-son?
Or are we in for life it just makes sense

We walked in the grass you and I
The sun rose with flowers in your hair
Beyond the place for right and wrong
There is a field I’ll met you there

The parrots of heaven will crack sugar
when we laugh you and I
I read you Neruda’s words of love,
you read me, your shopping list,
and walking under moonlight, stunning stars
I recited Rumi in your ear
and you recited Doctor Seuss
That’s how it goes! The Lorax knows!

Your love zaps me like an electric fence
I’m jolted nose to toes when I get too close to you
Are we here for a reason, or a sea-son?
Or are we in for life it just makes sense

We walked in the grass you and I
The sun rose with flowers in your hair
Beyond the place for right and wrong
There is a field I’ll met you there

Your love zaps me like an electric fence...
