about

Simon Deer sings solemn songs with simple compositions and elusive lyrics. They are somewhat addictive. His songs are rooted ... more and inspired by the revival of American and English folk music 50 years ago, but they are based on his own interpretation of it. The songs og Simon Deer carries an air of melancholy and mysterious aura, but also an encouraging and uplifting bliss that is hard to put down. less

Track Name: Maggie Fargo
the curly hair and her sweet talk sound;
take him home, take him home
mr. Harris and his love bone grows
she'd better not make him grow old

he dug a hole in the cold dead snow
all alone, all alone
he left the bus but an hour before
his hometown of Saint de Mansour

mr. Harris don't follow the snowflakes
you're better off that way
cause all you ever wanted was her grace
and now you're in it

Maggie Fargo and her deep green eyes
she's a sight, she's a sight
the note she drew with a painted shoe
made him blue all the way through

mr. Harris don't follow the snowflakes
you're better off that way
cause all you ever wanted was her grace
and now you're in it
Track Name: Cow
cloudy is the sky
it's not willing to comprimise
the wind's shaking up the dirt
that carefully was put
on the soil

now this can't make me whole again
I take pride in dancing in the wind
and falling from the bow
and talking to a cow
drinking rain

so god knows when the sun will show
better show up before we grow a tow
on a little girl or boy
in the state of Illinois
or just here

now you're just absolutly cool
you're talking like the rain it was a tool
that mends all of my wounds
to sing an honest tune
just for you
Track Name: Snowgirl
I walk downtown to burst some tears
to get a fill and have some wine
to have some wine

the season's cold, my feet they break
the dirt creeps up my bed at night
my bed at night

a snowgirl rings my bell at night
she cuddles me up and cleans my floor
she cleans my floor
Track Name: From The Sidewalk
once again from the sidewalk
the boy in need gets the loud talk
by a man in a dark suit
his glasses fit so cool

he's telling what the boy should do
to buy himself some shinning shoes
to gather all of what he owns
exchange it all for gold

so he talks to mister jones
a hobo mostly all alone
partly blind and diffused
his dog fetch and he's amused

he's telling what the boy should do
to pack his back and quickly move
to gather all of what he owns
and give it to the poor

they're telling what the boy should do
and he doesn't have any clue
and so he takes a taxi home
the taxidriver moans
Track Name: Oh Lord, My Enemies
I took my love to the highest peak
and I settled right down before a tree
then I built a house by the roots so deep
and I fell right down to my knees

all I wish is to see that ocean deep
have some flowers to grow on my porch
then my heart would be so high, so steep
that I would not stamp anymore

oh Lord, but do one thing
for me
hang them up so I can see
my enemies
I glee
by the old oak tree

I could hear the cries in the old cold fog
cause they hurt the ones I loved the most
by the games they play in the old fashioned way
so I pray and walk by the beach

oh Lord, but do one thing
for me
hang them up so I can see
my enemies
I glee
by the old oak tree
Track Name: The Dusk Comes For The Day
all my things would fit this box
and all I want is to fill it up

throw it away by the beach
take me a hike and let it fall
from my hands
when dusk comes for the day

see the kid who climbs the hill
all he feels is good or ill

”remember in time you can forget”
the phobian said with a smile
I bear in mind
the dusk comes for the day

glory to those who can live
without any cracks in their shell
for they should know
the dusk comes for the day
Track Name: Time (An Uneasy Friend)
dreams that I’m having, I’m sure they don’t resemble each other
they’re all different from each other
in this other dream I had, I tend to lose all of my teeth
one after another

when I am looking at the photos I took by the beach
I ask: was I ever by the sea?
and does it mean, I’ve come to be some kind of machine
extremely obscene

time, an uneasy friend
time is over my head
she is calling from far away

I stare at my mirror, I don’t move for the lenght of an age
I feel like a thing in a maze
and for the sake of our case we don’t take our place
in the vastness of space

time, an uneasy friend
time is over our my head
she is calling from far away
Track Name: A Song From The Bridge
God was on my site
he would not compromise
he broke the freight train home
and left me but one road

superstition grows
all I hear is the callin' crows
and the howlin' of a dog
tell me that I'm wrong

Betty set it up for me
she couldn't help but hit me aimlessly
and take away my pride
she wouldn't be my bride
and now she's on His side

on the bridge I stand
all I see is the meadowland
and a mountain burnin' up
I'm sure it will not stop

Betty set it up for me
she couldn't help but hit me aimlessly
and take away my pride
she wouldn't be my bride
and now I'm on His side
