When they cast you
to the wind and the sparkling sea,
a seal in the distance calling out to thee
And you’re home already
And they sang songs for you
Invoked a god for you
called on all that you
had loved or left or longed for
And we told our tales of you
Took the best of you
Made a new life for you
That oh I wish were true
And wherever you are now, I know they’ll love you
And wherever you are now, I hope you’re free
And wherever you are now, I hope they’ve got good whisky
And wherever you are now, I hope you rest in peace
And I hold you still
and will until
The seas
are rung out
and hung out
to dry

Three of the most talented folk/roots/acoustic artists currently at the very top of their game. Spoiler alert; is Spanish Lady actually about Catherine of Aragon or have I been reading too much Hilary Mantel? ***** bass_campdelta
