A song celebrating the earthly seasons, punctuated by harmonica played on a Hohner 364 diatonic in Low C, converted to country tuning.

lyrics

As the apple scented days
slowly fade into the dusk,
you can hear the nightbirds start to serenade the stars.
In the blazing summer night,
the stillness brings
the sweetness of the grass through open windows.

Chorus: Earthy, Earthly

Now the summer blazes cool,
and the crisp air stirs the blood,
while the tables groan with deepening hues of orange, red, and green,
and you feel the days grow short,
as the amber haze of autumn settles in.

Chorus; Earthly, give thanks for earthly.

Now the dirty sun glows weak
as its scuds along the south,
with the bonfires shivering deep into the night,
and the crunching underfoot shatters lacy panes of ice,
and your breath leaves white clouds hanging in mid-air.

Chorus: Earthy, Earthly

When the gentle mist of green
starts to wash across the branches
and the rivers start to rage down from the mountains
and the cold still echoes sharp,
while the cherry blossoms blush
and promise warm days ahead.

Chorus; Earthly, life springs up earthly.
