lyrics

CHORUS
We’ll talk about it at the dark hour.
Red wine bending time.
Old endings, new beginnings,
love and music carry on.

Without language what would we see?
A sky colourless and grey?
Words strung together like beads on a thread,
a lifeline waiting there for you.

CHORUS

Faces turned from train windows.
What is there when you don’t look?
Fitness always beats the truth,
the case against reality.

CHORUS

Echoes of songs from long ago
drift softly up to me.
Lines are blurring, it’s hard to tell
where things end or begin.

CHORUS

from Hidden By The Clouds, released June 1, 2022
This song was sparked off when I read about the "Dark Hour" in Robert Macfarlane's book "Landmarks" It's described as:
"interval between the time of sufficient light to work or read by and the lighting of candles - therefore a time of social domestic conversation ("We will talk that over at the dark hour") "

Other influences were - The wonderful Flying Pig pub in Cambridge closing, the sound of a wineglass being accidentally hit while being tilted!, and the books "The Case Against Reality by Donald D. Hoffman, and Entangled Life by Merlin Sheldrake
