about

very happy song this one ... beginning with a wind / windchime soundscape which emerges from the final heavy chords of cold under this sky, this is a very warm and ‘uplifting’ song ... the dotted quaver feel imparts a catchy flavour to the song ... a memorable vocal melody rides over a catchy, main guitar riff ... gradually, drums and acoustic guitar are added just in time for the solo ... features story-like lyrics which contain a bizarre, unexpected twist !!

lyrics

find out first in the dark of dawn
going south to the snow on an eastern morn
where the night gets old and the forest sighs
and the mountain looms cold in the distant sky
I've never been here before …

river of rain still flowing on
rides slowly down as it meets the dawn
and the rain falls more on the listening ground
as you turn your head and look to the clouds

an ocean to travel a place to be
the moon shines on the road but I can't see
and I'm travelling further on this lonely way
yesterday's happenings will be tales for today

find out first in the winter's moon
the journey goes on and on and no end is in view
and the story is told of the future foretold
find the woman who'll tell you and the secret of old
do you think she can be seen?

(after many days, I finally found her deep in the mountains … )

now I'm here there's nothing to say
soon the day will have passed and I'll be on my way
so she told me the tale and give me a sign she said
"there's something you should know, a secret of mine
when you're walking along the north sea road
turn your head to the clouds and you'll know you were wrong
if the birds fly away and the ground breaks in two
and quietly proceeds to swallow you … "
