lyrics

The key of life is always a changing, chords re-arranging you for me.
You for me, you have the graces, take me to the places where we can be free.

Your desert song well it belongs to yesterday
Moved on from tyranny as verse.
You had your moment in the sun, now the reckonings begun,
perhaps you'll move on.

Why do you only remember me, in the summertime when days are long
When days are long, you think that you belong, here beside of me, when I've long gone.

Do not cling to those moments caught in photographs.
With dust so thick that is hard to see.
You dressed me up in company but that is not how life should be
Can't claim it for the beauty of the scene.

What an amazing album. Each track is pure gold - mystical auditory alchemy. It is almost impossible to pick a favorite track though the Bedlam Boys interpretation of the 1720 ballad, Mad Maudlin's Search for Her Tom of Bedlam, is utterly spellbinding. Þórbeorht Hláford
