. where is your sweetness / where is your tenderness / where is all that’s robbed from me / as you soar to another space past the stars and the sea / as you leave for another world / will you love wait for me / all is sorrow / all is broken / all is taken from me / ash to dust over journeys far / to a place I can’t see / as you sail over waters blue / is our love still with you / where is sweetness / where is tenderness /where is the life that’s gone from me / which other world is now your home / now you’re no more with me / ash to dust over journeys end / will your love be with me .

. blow wind, blow high, as all the pain goes by / bring rain, rain down to the ground / shine sun, shine sun to feed a single flower / but all I see for now is cloud/fall snow, fall snow deep as any mountainside / come rain, come down to ground / come night, come day, to feed a single soul / but all I see for now is cloud / days filled with black and white making you steer / going against the light, for fear / heart full of hopefulness / sometimes its clear all’s not against the light, I hear /blow wind, blow high, as all the pain goes by / come rain, rain down to the ground / sun shine, sun shine to feed a single flower/ all I see for now is cloud .

The Long Farewell

|
|||
|
. show me more of what you need / show me who you are / all around you lies the past, a past that now is far / memory may tell / memory may lie / you walk alone with what is left / no comfort left to buy / ask no one for help or hearth, ask no family / hearth and help are purchased now by all in company / everyone who shares this curse will take you to the ground / the fearful smile on familiar lips stays with me like her sound / ask no one for help or hearth/ask no family/ no comfort, and no staff .

. come my love & we shall wander, all of life to see & know / all the seasons lost with trembling / all things come, and all things go / we’ll climb up the snowy mountains / sail across the rolling sea / we shall live for one another, I for you & you for me / we’ll go down the green grass meadows / where the cold winds never blow / if we taste the wine of loving/only you and I shall know / come my love & we shall wander / just to see what we will find / if we only find each other, still the journey’s worth the time / come my love .

It's hard to imagine a more magical collaboration than the dreamlike, ominous fantasy instrumentation of Alan Trench and the silken, sweetly agonizing vocals of Martyn Bates. The most beautiful, gently haunting moods are to be found throughout this album.
