about

This is a beautiful track from the mind of our very own 'Lady of the Sea'. A tail of a young couple from a small fishing village in Cornwall and their life together.

Our mum, Kate Kanakanaka joins us on the violin.

lyrics

Our eyes first met in 65
sat on the harbour wall
I knew right then she was my world
I saw her next in fall

And we kissed goodbye
And I/he set sail
she/he stands upon the quay
My lovely girl/man with windswept hair will always wait for me

There he stood with curly locks
And eyes a deep sea green
Her beauty takes my breath away
She's pretty as can be

And we kissed goodbye
And I/he set sail
she/he stands upon the quay
My lovely girl/man with windswept hair will always wait for me

Years go by some at sea
Some home with my lass
The best I had were with my girl
They seem to go so fast

He never seemed to be home long
My favorite company
I wish he could have stayed home more
But they called him back to see

And we kissed goodbye
And I set sail
she/he stands upon the quay
My lovely girl/man with windswept hair will always wait for me

she/he’s older now and so am i
But she/he ‘s still got my heart
We sit upon the harbour wall
And watch the ships depart

And they kiss goodbye
The men set sail
With girls upon the quay
My lovely girl/man with windswept hair turns and smiles at me

My lovely girl/man with windswept hair turns and smiles at me

Once again they manage to mix a fine balance of lyrical power with whimsy and musical frivolity and a massive dose of enjoyment. Always worth a listen and a record full of merit. Gavin Hellyer
