Graham Kendrick - Thorns in the Straw (Acoustic Trio Sessions) video free download

Christmas story song Thorns in the Straw performed by Graham Kendrick, Mark Prentice (Double Bass) and Terl Bryant (Percussion).

Written for the Christmas album Rumours of Angels in 1994, Thorns in the Straw takes the viewpoint of Mary, the mother of Jesus. The song imagines Mary glimpsing the bitter-sweet story of her newborn son as she finds a thorn in the manger straw that cradles her baby's head.

'And did she see there

In the straw by his head a thorn

And did she smell myrrh

In the air on that starry night'
