Lyrics
Pipkin by Pamela Wyn Shannon
Pipkin, Pipkin, from a seedpod bouquet
Fell from a seed head, and Pipkin flew away
With his velvety coat and his silvery plume, He takes flight
The winds set him sailing in the Autumn
He's a beautiful kite, he's a beautiful kite
Pipkin, Pipkin swept up by winds that soar
Blustery winds, blustery winds
Guides you to my door
Seedkin with whiskers, take off your velvety coat
All the leaves have fallen, dearest Pipkin
There's nowhere left to go, nowhere left to go
And soon comes the snow
Pipkin, Pipkin, from a seedpod bouquet
Fell from a seed head and Pipkin flew away
With his velvety coat and his silvery plume
He takes flight
The winds set him sailing in the Autumn
He's a beautiful kite, he's a beautiful kite...

Pamela Wyn Shannon's inventive and intricate guitar work has been described as "a tiny chamber orchestra working in unison at the end of her hands," and her vocal style has a delicate lilting sensitivity. Her unique compositions have an elliptical quality which creates its own time-frame, rules, and kingdoms, and are reminiscent of the magic found in UK '60s artefacts.
