Caroline Shaw & Attacca Quartet - And So (Official Video)
Caroline Shaw & Attacca Quartet perform Shaw’s ’And So,’ from the album ’Evergreen,’ out now on Nonesuch:
AND SO
would a song by another name
sound as sweet and true
would all the reds be just the same
or violets as blue
if you were gone would words still flow
and would they rhyme with you
if you were gone would i still know
how to love and how to grow
and how the vowel threads through.
and so they say the saying goes
a rose is a rose is a rose is a rose is a rose is a rose is a tired rhyme
but in the verse there’s always time.
would scansion cease to mark the beats
if i went away
would a syllable interrupt the feet
of tetrametric iambs
when i am gone
listen
and i will sing a tune of love and life and of the ocean’s prose and the poetry of a
red,
red,
rose,
that’s newly sprung in june.
and so you say the saying goes
a rose is a rose is a rose is a rose
is a rose
is a rose
is how I’m
keeping track of time.
when a’ the seas rise high, my dear
and the rocks melt with the sun
will the memory of us
still rhyme with anyone
will we still tune our violins
will we still sing of roses
will we exist at all, my love,
or will we fade to stanzas of
the dust that i suppose is
all we were and all we’ll be.
and so the saying “so it goes”
depends a lot on if a rose is a rose is a rose is rose is a rose
is a rose is a rose is a thing sublime
and so we stay, on borrowed time.
