lyrics

Along the flooded
Broken mansions
I did all my best to see
Her laugh in playful passion
Where once gorgeous
Phantoms glide
Among the long
Soothing shadows
She gave all her
Best in time
And wearing oils
Of hypnotic sweetness
She kissed me
With the moist part of her mouth
As lightning played on the water
Laughing she muttered a soft “damn”
Once upon a time on the Rapenburg
I’d trade all the best in life
To hold her close in a distant season
Caught beneath a Vermeer sky

I have to restrain myself from being too effusive about 'Anyway, Still'. This is truly unique music of beautiful, beguiling power which resonates long after each listen. A true gift. I'll be eagerly awaiting all subsequent releases. Thank you Exit North. musicconnection
