I put away the knife, the chisel, and the saw
I've locked away my life behind this old, oak door
To make a simple spoon, a token of my love
In hope that maybe soon, it's me you're thinking of
So take my spoon, Blodwyn
Make it soon, Blodwyn
The valley knows the way I feel today
So take my spoon, Blodwyn
Make it soon, Blodwyn
Before some other spoon takes you away
My life may not be long, was working down below
For so much can go wrong, but what else do I know?
So take these precious years and make them precious too
And say you'll take from me what I will give to you
So take my spoon, Blodwyn
Make it soon, Blodwyn
The valley knows the way I feel today
So take my spoon, Blodwyn
Make it soon, Blodwyn
Before some other spoon takes you away
So take my spoon, Blodwyn
Make it soon, Blodwyn
The valley knows the way I feel today
So take my spoon, Blodwyn
Make it soon, Blodwyn
Before some other spoon takes you away
I've locked away my life behind this old, oak door
To make a simple spoon, a token of my love
In hope that maybe soon, it's me you're thinking of
Make it soon, Blodwyn
The valley knows the way I feel today
So take my spoon, Blodwyn
Make it soon, Blodwyn
Before some other spoon takes you away
For so much can go wrong, but what else do I know?
So take these precious years and make them precious too
And say you'll take from me what I will give to you
Make it soon, Blodwyn
The valley knows the way I feel today
So take my spoon, Blodwyn
Make it soon, Blodwyn
Before some other spoon takes you away
Make it soon, Blodwyn
The valley knows the way I feel today
So take my spoon, Blodwyn
Make it soon, Blodwyn
Before some other spoon takes you away

I have to admit, I really have no answers to give except that I think that this is a pretty good love song and I’ve never heard of the name Blodwyn before. I”m told that it’s actually a woman’s name and all this time I thought it was a man. The singer could’ve been talking about a male friend, I mean after all who knows but I’ve only recently learned that it’s a woman’s name.
Thing is I thought maybe the song had to do with the “culture” meaning if you were Scottish, you might know what they’re talking about in this song. I’m not sure what “Take your/my spoon” means to say or imply, which is why again I thought maybe it was a cultural thing, that only the Scots, Irish or English may know.
If any of you who come across this do know, then don’t hesitate to share it with me or the rest of us, I’d love to know. Good song from a great band. Albeit a band with a sad and tragic fate but this is from the “No Dice” album which I feel is their best. Every song is a winner on this and this album has the original version of “Without You” on it which was made famous by Harry Nilsson and butchered later on by Mariah Carey. Music is life!
