lyrics

As the train rolls out the station, It pulls my love behind
The days were growing older as the nights were growing blind
Maybe all would be forgiven But we never found the time
As the train disappears for the east coast line.

Past the coast, once so grand, what's so hard to understand
As if that's ever gonna change a thing
Take this chain, ride your luck, it’ll never be enough

To keep the tide from surging, keep these feet from stumbling
And stop the walls from crumbling to the sea

Questions to those answers got lost along the way
Tell the same old story of a half life slipped away
If I were the brakesman, I would halt that train
Disappear unnoticed to the east coast haze

Dusty road, ancient light, what the hells here not to like
Now that's never gonna mean a thing
Take this chain, ride your luck, it’ll never be enough
.
To stop a mind from drifting Stop a heart from resisting
And halt the rain by turning back the seas

Staring straight into the haze, never found the words to say
And now the land is shifting and reality is hitting home
It's easier to turn back than to leap

I can’t get through how different things could be
If I only could return your honesty

To The Awe
by Rachel Newton

supported by 7 fans who also own “Elegy For a Seaside Town”

Keening, yearning, captivating and lovely collection of songs, the sense of close performance all the more remarkable when you learn it was made during Covid lockdown in 2020. The ballads and poems set to music on this album might be hundreds of years old, and while they do have an air of immortal, ancient tradition about them, they sound utterly current. Badzie

Serpent's Tears
by Richard Thompson

supported by 7 fans who also own “Elegy For a Seaside Town”

There's a similarity in song writing between Richard Thompson and Hugh Cornwell which maybe isn't surprising as they went to the same school at the same time, although Thompson is older. Due to Thompson's association with John French of Captain Beefheart & The Magic Band I searched for his work on the Bandcamp app. French, Thompson and Cornwell all have albums on the app which I'm very pleased about. Only Thompson has released contemporary albums, much to his credit. yellowcakeuf6

Love the complexity of this track and the rising and falling of the violins, and the texture. Makes me want to dance. Thank you so much for this album. I really love it, and find it really inspiring my own work on the Witchcraft Trials ❤️ tararosehip
