No damsels or dragons.....

Ok ok, I know.... I'm very behind in keeping you updated!

So, very briefly:
the last few gigs have all been excellent...
there's been a holiday in Falmouth, taking in the International Shanty Festival ('5 Men Not Called Matt' asked me up to sing with them)....
my Australian daughter came home to find work (but the best offer is back in Australia)....
there's a new song beginning to bubble up (Will You Still Dance With Me When I Grow Old?)...
today I saw no damsels or dragons, again, but plenty of bees....
and....the new album is selling well.

Here are more lyrics:
Above The Flood

 Above the flood
The dove she finds safe land at last
Her bonds of tender gossamer
Allow her to be cast
And when her wings begin to fail
She finds her home, and takes her rest
        She does come home …the call and pull…
 She does come home …the pulse and draw…
        She does come home, she does come home again
       

Below the tide
Inviolate the rock holds fast
And by the earth is anchored deep
Secure against the blast
She sets her flight by steering true
To all kept safe within her breast
She does come home…the call and pull…
She does come home…the pulse and draw… 
She does come home, she does come home again


Inside the nest
The song that wakes all that has passed
The only key to memory
Her colours at the mast
She savours love drawn from the heart
Where home is here, and all is blessed
She does come home…the call and pull…
    She does come home…the pulse and draw…
She does come home, she does come home again
She does come home, she does come home again  

Thank you for stopping by :)
