Late one night
Cupid revealed
I was gone for you
I was under his wheels
No porch lights
Though I watched from the shore
I couldn’t take too much
Not too much anymore
There’s a girl somewhere
Up in northern Spain
She fell in love with me
In my pursuit of fame
Wished me luck
As my dreams fell away
She won’t miss me too much
Not too much anyway
Send me your halo
Send me your precious grain
On the street of the willows
We’ll remember your name
Remember your smile
Remember your style
Remember your touch
To lose everything would be too much
Those were such good times...
There was a girl somewhere
Up in northern France
She fell in love with you
In the pursuit of romance
All summer long
She danced 8 reels
She waits down for you
In the Elysian Fields
Send me your halo
Send me your precious grain
In the street of the willows
We’ll remember your name
Remember your smile
Remember your style
To lose everything would be too much

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
