Today’s #MusicMonday is #52 – which means I’ve been doing this thing for a whole year! Thank you for sticking with me and my music choices, and special thanks to Drew from The Tattooed Book Geek for conceiving the idea and the lovely Claire from A Knight’s Reads for all the inspiration and support along the way. The Spotify playlist is here and it has been updated every week if you want to look back at some of my earlier choices.

This week has been a quiet week, and nothing obvious has presented itself for #MusicMonday so I’m just going to go with a song that I enjoyed in my teen years – because we’ve not been in the 90s for a few weeks!

Sixpence None The Richer: Kiss Me

Kiss me, out of the bearded barley
Nightly, beside the green, green grass
Swing, swing, swing the spinning step
You’ll wear those shoes and I will wear that dress

Oh, kiss me, beneath the milky twilight
Lead me out on the moonlit floor
Lift your open hand
Strike up the band and make the fireflies dance
Silver moon’s sparkling
So kiss me

Kiss me, down by the broken tree house
Swing me, upon its hanging tire
Bring, bring, bring your flowered hat
We’ll take the trail marked on your father’s map

Oh, kiss me, beneath the milky twilight
Lead me out on the moonlit floor
Lift your open hand
Strike up the band and make the fireflies dance
Silver moon’s sparkling
So kiss me

Kiss me, beneath the milky twilight
Lead me out on the moonlit floor
Lift your open hand
Strike up the band and make the fireflies dance
Silver moon’s sparkling
So kiss me

So kiss me
So kiss me
So kiss me

Songwriters: Matthew Preston Slocum
