Starlight

It is my honour to share the latest single, Starlight, from the new album Night Sky (March 23 2018). 

The storm has come, and nothing will be as it was, and was, and was. It is time to mourn the losses, to leave this place, and to lead onwards, out, and through.

Oooo

My darling my darling I can’t let you in

Dearly departed are most of my kin

My love and my lover I bid you adieu

Regret only that I can’t travel with you

Ooooo

And what of my mother I haven’t the words

I’ve only this saucer and cup that was hers

My brother my brother who won’t speak my name

The shame that I’ve done to you you’ve done the same

By only the starlight I follow the line

Made by the river and carved out by time

I look to the willow that grows in the sand

Turning with sunlight the air from the land
