lyrics
A lady walked in yon wild woods,
Beneath the holly tree,
It was there she spied two bonnie bairns,
There running at her knee.
The first she pulled a red, red rose,
With hands as soft as silk,
The next she pulled a lily pale,
With hands more white than milk.
“Why do you pull the red, red rose,
And why the lily white?”
“We need them at the seat of grace,
For the soul of thee tonight.”
“Oh bide with me you bonnie bairns,
I’ll dress you rich and fine,
And for all the blackbirds in the woods,
You’ll eat white bread and wine.”
The stars were shooting to and fro,
But the thorns she did abhor,
As the lady followed the bonnie bairns,
For three long hours and more.
“Where do you dwell you bonnie bairns,
I’m woe and weary grown”,
“We live where woe it never comes,
In a land to flesh unknown.”
They came unto a tree of beech,
Two names carved in the bark,
“Do you see your name carved here lady,
The other lies in the dark.”
She wept in vain and she wept full sore,
For her love laid in the ground,
She wept until the stars gave way,
And the dawn it brought no sound

Thanks for the beautiful music Karine and Dave. it's been a while since I've felt so emotional listening to a new album. Every lyric is so beautifully supported by the piano parts. Laura-Beth Salter
Another wonderful collection from Karine. From the hauntingly beautiful to the quitetly barbed politics, Karine delivers a consistently deep and powerful album. scottish_viking

John Drumbo French from Captain Beefheart and The Magic Band worked with Thompson on two albums along with Fred Frith and Henry Kaiser.
Those two French, Frith, Kaiser and Thompson albums led me to this.
Also, Richard Thompson taught Hugh Cornwell (of The Stranglers) how to play the bass guitar in a band when they were both at the same school (Emil and The Detectives?).
With a career spanning 50 years and playing with two of my heroes (French and Cornwell) Thompson has produced a fascinating EP. yellowcakeuf6
