    This 17th studio album from Kate seamlessly blends old and new across 12-tracks of traditional folk, covers and self-penned songs.The album is a deeply personal collection which pays homage to her family and musical heritage, and home life in Yorkshire. With Philosophers, Poets & Kings, Kate raises a toast to her parents. She recalls an upbringing filled with music; whether recording songs performed during wine-fuelled family singalongs or her formative years spent watching festival performances by famed musicians.

about

THE WANDERER
K.Rusby PRS/MCPS

I wrote this song about a lovely, lovely chap from our village who has Alzheimers, he spends a lot of time walking, One of the fabulous things about village life is people look out for each other, both young and old. My Nanan Ivy suffered with it at the end, and through her, I am a proud patron of BIADS, Barnsley Independent Alzheimers and Dementia Support. They are an amazing organisation who provides much-needed help and respite for sufferers and their families. I salute you!

lyrics

I’m feeling tired so it must be late,
The fire has burned, gone from the grate,
Gone is my love, my dear soul mate,
So I’ll walk the wide world over.

The sun has come and no return,
So I will follow and the truth I’ll learn,
Letters of love in my pocket burn,
So I’ll walk the wide world over.

I’ll walk the wide world over,
I’ll walk the wide world over.

My thoughts are tired, but my feet still young,
There are words unsaid and dreams unsung,
My hands and heart are tightly wrung,
So I’ll walk the wide world over.

With gentle steps and darkening skies,
They lead me here to this stone of lies,
I’m sure you’ll come with the new sunrise,
So I’ll walk the wide world over.

I’ll walk the wide world over,
I’ll walk the wide world over.
