about

Dreamy track about the memory of a doomed love affair, featuring lyre, voice and e-bow.

lyrics

No, not a trace remains here in the ivy and roses
I'd hoped for a silent clue in the leaves of my past.
Oh, but did I see you there, standing by the fallen door
Taller than you were before, whispering like a child?
No signs, no signs,
In the ivy and roses
I lost you in the dusk and ferns
And I walked an enchanted mile
Then rode through the winding hills
With a stranger at the wheel.
