In the Seam Between

[Lyrics: Beth Malcolm]

Born of the cusp of a new century 

My childhood was split in two 

I grew up in the seam between the old world and the new 

My teenagedom merged with a new era of quickening 

Where the rate of change transported me from Red fields 

To the dazzling bright lights of screens 

Folkmosis is my story of a lost bairn 

And her journey back to the carrying stream 

But first to the rejection years 

Where I’d rather have stuck a fork in my eye 

Than to sing of the land 

And the times gone by
