about

Maria’s Bookshop
20th January 2019 - Durango CO.

Nic Bottomley, the owner of our spiritual home in the UK - Mr B’s Emporium of Reading Delights, drove us up from Albuquerque NM under a Wolf Moon to this stunning and vast bookshop, 35 years young and our highest altitude gig of the tour. It had been a long journey from NY that morning, but the time- zone change did mean that Beth’s birthday was 27 hours long.

FAITH IN WEATHER
Inspired by the traditional folk story, The Seven Ravens.

lyrics

Time is over and I know you’re gone.
See you flying over, held my tongue
The lines I send you only keep you down
Faith in weather as my love is blown.
Wind was very strong today
When seven ravens flew away
See you far upon a hill of glass
I could never climb, but still I start
Build the steps I need to bear our weight
Seven years to make, and six I stayed
Wind was very strong today
When seven ravens flew away
I was taken by the wind and swept away
I could not respond to anything he’d say
Time is over for I’m almost done.
See you flying over, held my tongue.
Hope my voice is strong and calls you down.
Faith in weather and my love’s return.
Time is over and I know you’re gone
See you flying over, held my tongue
Hope my voice is strong and calls you down
Faith in weather as my love is blown.
