She gave me a kiss
She gave me the sweetest kiss
In the village of Weem
She moved through the brightest dream
And somehow life means nothing to me
It’s as though I don’t exist
Like I’m lost in the Scottish mountains
Alone in the Scottish mist
I followed my star
I followed my brightest star
Yes I followed my star
I followed my guiding star
She was my muse
She was my Weem Rock muse
Yes she was my muse
She was my Weem Rock muse
And somehow life means nothing to me
It’s as though I don’t exist
I’m lost in the Scottish mountains
Alone in the Scottish mist
She was my love
She was my only love
When she was my muse
She was my Weem Rock muse

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
