Could you love me
Love me
Love me
As I love you?
Your namesake brought
Rembrandt to his knees
Likewise love for you with me
Yes now love for you with me
But was it just a dream
Was it really just a dream
French girls will ask you
For your cigarettes
And pleasure and regret
I couldn’t keep you for too long
But I can keep you in a song
Forever young you seem
Forever in a dream
If you see Saskia
Maybe you could ask her
Ask her how she feels
How does she really feel
And I hope she finds love
Finds the perfect 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
