lyrics

Come to my window my love oh my love
Come to my window I pray
For the hours so quickly pass, and the dew falls on the grass
Dear love come before the dawning of the day

Come to my window my love oh my love
Come or my heart strings will break
For the night is speeding by, soon will morning streak the sky
And the world it will slowly come awake
And the world it will slowly come awake

Come to my window my love oh my love
Come before the stars cease to shine
For my heart is full of fears, and my voice is choked with tears
I am thine, oh thou knowest, I am thine
I am thine, oh thou knowest, I am thine

(Humming)

Believers, deceivers - Believers, deceivers - Believers, deceivers

Down in yonder bower, There does grow a flower
Do you recall the promises you made there
Go to, false pretender, Do you not remember
When my innocent heart you did ensnare

Young men are deceivers, Young women are believers
Young men are deceivers, Young women are believers
Young men are false and seldom do prove true

Had i my heart in keeping, Oh had i my poor heart again
Had i my heart in keeping, Oh had i my poor heart again

KELD
by You Are Wolf

supported by 4 fans who also own “Come To My Window / The Complaining Maid”

Alt/Psych/Wyrd folk release from the UK’s Kerry Andrew. Crystal clear vocals, with keyboards, recorder, pipes, cello, bass and electric guitars, banjolele, trumpet, and various percussive elements. Here, they cover traditional tunes, as well as offering original pieces, with a watery theme. Eerie and evocative, the pieces often start simply and veer off into something else entirely.

Love this album. Really evokes the atmosphere of rural life, love and loss. I listen to it as I put my 1 year old grandson to bed. stephenfs
