lyrics

Out of a slow pretense of slumber,
Turn to the window-wall you face
When casting the holy thread that hums with magic
One word’s well-chosen grace here offers.
You move in fear of leaving
Words of love left unsaid
But here the song’s vast enchantment grieves
To touch only one tongue awake.
It will not fail to find the thread
Meeting this way down
Nor allow your sailor,
Biding an unsung love-word, drown.

This is a really haunting folk album. Bobin's vocals in combination with the beautiful melodies and arrangements create a relaxed mood that is tranquil and straightforward at the same time. Eissturmvogel
