The Ivy Measure Swing
Two neighbours raced their ivy to the sky, only to find the best way to grow is to stop pulling and start sharing the tea.

Lyrics
Verse
Orysia grips her silver spoon to check her climbing vine,
She wants to grow the tallest stem along the balcony line.
Mykola brings his own green shoot to challenge every leaf,
They race to reach the courtyard sky and push away the grief.
Chorus
Oh, we swing to the beat of the emerald vine,
I will keep the tallest leaf if you can keep the shine.
With a zing-a-zang melody and ribbons in the light,
We are dancing for the garden in the middle of the night.
Verse
A scarlet ribbon marks the spot where Orysia takes the lead,
Mykola polishes his brass to match her steady speed.
They stay awake until the dawn to watch the stems ascend,
And wait to see which single plant will crown the very end.
Chorus
Oh, we swing to the beat of the emerald vine,
I will keep the tallest leaf if you can keep the shine.
With a zing-a-zang melody and ribbons in the light,
We are dancing for the garden in the middle of the night.
Bridge
The evening wind tangles both green vines into a single knot,
They share a pot of tea and smile over the garden plot.
Chorus
Oh, we swing to the beat of the emerald vine,
I will keep the tallest leaf if you can keep the shine.
With a zing-a-zang melody and ribbons in the light,
We are dancing for the garden in the middle of the night.
