The night is young
Young is the night
The dream is over
Long live the dream
In the street
We hear mandolins
The winding violins
And our hearts
They are much stronger
They had been broken
But now they will mend
Can you hear
The beating of wings
The beating of angels’ wings
They will follow
They will follow
Us home
I kiss you once
I kiss you twice
On a tenement stairwell
The night is young
Young is the night The dream is over
Long live the dream

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
