You know my face
Even though I don’t
Recognise myself
And here I was
Hanging on by a thread
To this place on the shelf
Pushed out and down
No one to see
Until your old eyes
Fell on me
And it’s me, I am falling
I will catch you, Here I stand
With the wild, birds soaring
Come with me, Take my hand
It is me, I am watching
I will catch you, here I stand
The child, He’s still drawing
Dreaming creatures, Here I am
And it’s wild, The storm is coming
The world is spinning, Round and round
The heat, Where I’m now laying
So sudden, Hit the ground
The eyes, are surrounding
Shrouded, covered face
And it’s me, I have fallen
Hit the surface, Stop the chase
And the child, He’s still drawing
Every breath, Found him safe
The wild birds are soaring
Hit the surface stopped the chase
It is me, I have fallen
Tried to catch you, here I lay
And the child he’s still drawing
Standing witness, he is safe.

The Bookshop Band write songs inspired by books and play them in bookshops. They started as a collaboration between a group
of musicians in Bath and their local independent bookshop, Mr B's Emporium. Now they are about to go on tour, sponsored by Vintage Books and Independent Booksellers Week, around other bookshops and lit fests. Catch them if you can. Details at www.thebookshopband.co.uk...more
British folk musician Tom Nash built these delicate and moving songs around a broken harmonium, allowing its limitations to open up worlds. Bandcamp New & Notable Oct 12, 2021
