Twine lilac ribbon Golden light in dewdrops Red wine and crimson Kisses that donā€™t stopā€¦ Warm oil infused with the love I have for you darling, Iā€™m so amused and Iā€™m totally wrapped upā€¦ ā€˜Round you my sweetheart, roses on our pillow, Clover a plenty, our hearts are in luck. Lover I choose you and Iā€™ll always be true You are the one harp that I want to pluckā€¦ Bows drawn back, ready to aim at our hearts now, This is the right time for love to have struck. Myrtle in fire helped me find my sweetheart, First thereā€™s a potion ā€˜fore we even start. Lavender cleanses, Hawthorn mends and strengthens, Rosemary ā€˜members, foxglove heals your heart. Twine lilac ribbon Golden light in dewdrops Red wine and crimson Kisses that donā€™t stop

Oh where oh where could my true love be oh i lost you out in the depths of the sea Fairest love, well you've gone to soon Now i sing to thee neath every full moon My ravaged home im forced to leave aboard this merchant ship Derry to Holyhead set foot in mud i couldn't grip The captain forced his stowaways to jump ship in the silt And many lost their lives before they made the headland built In the misty morning lookout from the mountainside I see A lady bravely wading through the carnage of the sea I made haste to retrieve her safely back to the shore She gave her hand and stole my heart, my love forevermore Twas three moons past, we wed upon the stone at dusk We board a mighty ship its bow engraved 'in God we Trustā€™ Bound for the land of opportunity and gold One week into the voyage lightning struck and thunder rolled The waves engulfed the vessel and we're thrown overboard We both clung to the cargo and trusted god no more The current carried us, we're at the mercy of the deep The heaving swell tore us apart, our dreams will never be

Upon the cliffs of the minyon falls, Before the mouth of repentance Creek. Poured all the crystals in our hands, Unfolding words begin to speak. Said the old man of the bay, Live as though itā€™s your last day. Said the truth can be hard to take, but love will light the way. Love will light the way. Drawn from the mountains and the plains, down to the edge of the eastern seas. Trekked through the ice storms and the flames, the crossing road led us to meet. Said the old man of the bay, Live as though itā€™s your last day. Said the truth can be hard to take, But love will light the way. Love will light the way. Venus looking down on you and me in the setting sun. Diamond veil cast over us. Lost and found, tangled hearts undone. You and me in the setting sun. You and me in the setting sun. Love will light the way.

Barefoot at the broken cliff Me Snow White gown billows & whips The Sea of sorrow kissed the skies The salty rain fell from me eyes Our pockets were robbed by the lords Now food is scarce can nĆ­ afford We lost our pa to amber drink Heā€™s still alive though can nĆ­ think At ease, at ease, at ease, at ease My brothers dear were called to stand Fight for the cross, protect our land But this is not a war weā€™ve won Our babies carry loaded guns At ease, at ease, at ease, at ease Heavens aflame & hell doth freeze When will us soldiers rest at ease At ease, at ease, at ease, at ease The gypsy blood runs through me veins I see a life in higher plains To Risk our lives and love at sea Alas our last heart beat is free To take a leap or take a bow What is the future for me now I chance to love, I chance to breathe The shipā€™s adrift, ā€˜tis time to leave At ease, at ease, at ease, at ease At ease, at ease, at ease, at ease

Ainā€™t gonna tell me Which road Iā€™m meant to take You stripped the pages from My book of faith I will not stay here I cannot bear to see The life youā€™re wasting Won't let you swallow me Here we go and 1 2 3 4 5 while Iā€™m still alive 6 7 8 9 10 catch me if you can You tried to throw flame, bullet, stone and blade. But we wonā€™t let you reign on this parade While Iā€™m still breathing I will be breaking free From all the shackles You try to chain on me

A lonely shepherd trying to find his way I drift with the seasons tend to to my herd Just like my father and his father too But lately I feel a stirring for anew A stirring for anew These robes cast around me start to feel so strange Wandering these hills I feel a yearning ablaze A reoccurring dream, In her eyes a universe When I hold her hand I have the whole wide world The whole wide world is in my hands Face the rain today, for the sun will come tomorrow Be brave Cliffs meet the sea waves against them crash Rain falls from the heavens with beauty and wrath Mountains surround me like a fortress made Mist on the plains, restless heart today Restless heart today Dew turns to frost, then the first snow falls Clouds surround the peaks, breathe my spirits call Many hours i spend looking out to sea I feel it in my bones soon you'll come to me I feel it in my bones, you'll come to me

about

Here is a new 14-track live album offering for you :-) This one is a very special collection of music recorded over the last couple of years, between Brisbane apartments, Welsh mountain tops, Canadian Lakes and Sunshine Coast balconies..

So much has happened over the last few years for us, reconnecting with our families on a journey to find a place to call home. Re-tracing Daryl's roots through North Wales, driving across the country to the south coast white cliffs of Brighton, then to Dawny's family out on Vancouver Island Canada - Driving across the Rocky Mountains to Calgary, then back to Australia for 7 weeks before having to rush back to Wales for a family emergency (which thankfully ended well). Welcoming our beloved Merle 'Luna' to our little family (who can be heard in some of the later recordings haha), amongst much more..šŸ¶

After the last 2 years of travelling, we finally found our place in the world here on the Sunshine Coast, for which we are eternally grateful. That said, it has been a tumultuous and rocky road to get here, with many painful yet poignant lessons, deep shifts through pain and loss juxtaposed with a deepening of love and connection. It's hard to put it all into words, which is why I'm glad we have this collection of songs to speak for us. šŸ™šŸŽ¶

This is so much more than just an album to us. It is a roadmap back through the last few years. The songs are a collection and reflection of moments on our journey, which has been quite the rollercoaster! We're glad to be where we're at now to tell the tale, and we're glad to have this album to show for it.

We'd love you to come join us on our journey -
Live Anthology Vol 1 2022-2023 - Here's to many more!
