lyrics

Betty come over it's you that should stand here
Close to my shoulder come into my arms dear
Down at the parlour it seems there;s some danger
I follow my eyes to the smile of a stranger

Let me out of here I cannot stop the flow
I want to reach you, I am the antelope
You are nothing here, there's nothing left to show
And when I meet you that's all you need to know

Betty come over it's you that belongs here
Cover my shoulder, I'll bring you from harm dear
Down at the harbour I cower alone here
Until you will come by, I will follow you home dear

Let me out of here I am the antelope
And when I meet you that's all you need to know
You are nothing here, there's nothing left to see
And when I greet you that's all you need to be

Calm my heart down, it's all in my head
They're wearing my pores out it's running my threads bare

Let me out of here I cannot stop the flow
I want to reach you, I am the antelope

A wonderful album. I hear hints of Jeff Buckley, The Beatles and Rufus Wainright in his songwriting. Not just cleverly written songs, but with feeling. And the strings are stunning too. jane willow
