I remembered what my heart was for When I found you standing outside my door I’m not sure you expected me to answer But have you seen the time? There’s a streetlight that keeps me awake While I’m drawing maps of which road to take I don’t think I can understand the answer but Have you seen the time? I can see you talking but I hear no sound My feet forgot that they should find the ground Sure some gravity will catch me soon This might be better if I wasn’t standing on the moon.

Wife of Cain 02:22
We were overtaken by a sleight of hand. Some annotated pictures of the promised land With flashing lights and numbers I don’t understand But it might be. Later we made happiness and slept all day. I don’t remember needing many words to say. But fear of tomorrow seemed to fall away So it might be. No sign of heaven when the lights went out But I’ve made this better day. Hope I can spend some more with you. We were laid together when the lights went out And I made this better day. Life carries on past caring But I’ll end it there with you. Deep in the city there’s a tree of songs The birds all gather to be swept along. A storm of voices growing ever strong. But I’m not afraid. Miles from morning in the twist of night It's hard to remember having felt the light. But you're here beside me so the wrong turns right And I'm not afraid.

about

At the end of March we were let loose in Lancaster Priory with a handheld recorder, practising for our performance there. A real privilege.
