Midweek Music Lyrics by Suffolk songsters

Embroidery in childhood was a luxury of idleness

A coil of silken thread giving dreams of a silk and satin life

Now my broidery affords the clue whose meaning we avoid!

My hands remembered its old skill

Those stitches tell a curious tale

I remember I was brooding

On the fantasies of children

And dreamt that only by wishing

I could bring some silk into their lives

Now my broidery affords the clue whose meaning we avoid

Benjamin Britten's Embroidery Aria from Peter Grimes
