lyrics

Verse
Old grey May casts a shadow
And her old grey hands pull a thousand hearts apart
She was a butcher from the start

Her dark grey clouds block the sunlight
And her old hooked nose can smell tenderness from miles
She was a wiper of smiles

Chorus
Down down down with May and onto June
Take that crown from May and her loyals too

Verse
And May in these lands is the ice queen
With her eyes so cold she can freeze young lovers heart
She was ruthless from the start

Now she'll go back to her palace
With her cold black eyes she will monitor the land
Where her love levy stands

Chorus
Down down down with May and onto June
Take the head from May and her loyals too

Scottish folk centred around fiddle and piano. The album begins with Dawn Chorus, which slowly awakens to the rising sun. There are reflective compositions throughout, while Almost Home and Ascending lift the mood back up. I think Megan Henderson and Lauren MacColl should do a gig together. Master of Alchemy
