about

A song inspired by the M R James ghost story The Ash Tree.
“"Thou shalt seek me in the morning and I shall not be..."

lyrics

A man could lose his breath in here,
Suffer untimely death in here!
No man could stand being thus deprived
Of the bright air of morning that giveth us life!

What man would plant an ash tree there?
Makes dusk of light, makes loam of air.
Bereft of all rest, I watch, wide-awake,
As through the body of Woman, a Hare taketh shape.

My eyes have seen this sight, my eyes have seen this sight, my eyes!
But I would that they did not, would that they did not,
O if sleep would only come!

No man could bear fair woman's gaze.
The babbling crowd, her eyes ablaze
Then her eyes meet mine, ice chills my blood.
Soon the earth will know nothing of where she once stood.

"There'll be visitors soon at the hall.”

"Bewitching and otherworldly... Morrison's voice is eerily confiding, strangely present, insistent even at its quietest" Folk Radio UK.

Believing in the beauty of sad songs, weaving folk, soul and beat sounds of the '60s into a tapestry of the human heart. Homespun sounds that reside in a nostalgic universe.
