Love
When you find love
Then you begin
To live again
There’s a cry of incantation
Almost drowned
By traffic glissandos and screams
We hear a cry of invitation
Sounds like the prelude to a dream
Why should we still believe in...
Love
In love
Do you know the way?
You should know the way...
Tonight
We felt a sense of expectation
You wear your style
With simple grace
I heard you pray
That there’s still time
Why should we still believe in love?
Are you crazy, love?
Love
When you find love
Then you begin
To live again
Tonight
We have nothing left to prove
Tonight
Somehow
I felt just too hazy
We can’t remember
Just how
Young love felt
Even though we’re tired
We can’t surrender
But feel inspired
To feel the fever
To feel love
To feel alive
In all its faded splendour
In all its raging glory
And know that once again
We will surrender
To love

Never heard of the Anchoress before hearing a gig at the Union Chapel on the day this launched. I bought the tickets entirely on a whim, thinking it might be a nice birthday present for my sister at one of our favourite venues. We both loved the gig - a discovery for us both and so nice when you discover new music by surprise. The songs played from this album were all beguiling interpretations of classics, which we loved, and the rest of the gig was great too. CAD has two new fans. bmhj
