lyrics
The summertime is full of flowers,
And the gardens are all gay,
They drink the sunshine and the showers,
And laugh the hours away,
The trees are clad in robes of green,
And the birds among them sing,
But I am sad and can’t be glad,
For my joy has ta’en the wing,
Oh I am sad and can’t be glad,
For my joy has ta’en the wing.
I used to love the summertime,
I used to love the spring,
But now my love has proved untrue,
No joy to me they bring,
It seems as if the wintertime,
Has passed all o’re the year,
It’s very cold within my heart,
And it’s dark without my dear,
It’s very cold within my heart,
And it’s dark without my dear.
Oh heart of mine with blighted love,
What power thy life can save,
I’m like a yew tree dark and sad,
Beside a lonesome grave,
My love I’ll call both loud and long,
And in my tears I’ll cry,
I know he’ll never love me more,
So loveless must I die,
I know he’ll never love me more,
So loveless must I die

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
