. 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 .
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. Lauren
