Rowan (lyrics) 
Bewitched by indifference
You forget my name
Frozen in time
It all feels the same
Your eyes once bright
They have lost their flame
There's so much still to say
 
But the bonds are yours and mine
I know them well
And I won't be left behind
The brighter days will shine
 
A million miles
You're so far away
Enchanting and childlike
You laughed at the day
How could you be right there
But still so far away?
There's so much more to say
 
But the bonds are yours and mine
You knew them well
And you won't be left behind
The brighter days will shine
 
So many adventures that we still want to share
We paint your nail, run fingers through your hair
Tell you our stories, sing you our songs
Our bittersweet affairs 
 
Remember well
We plant a roman tree
Always the protector
You still comfort me
And we'll bury hopes and fears
Our dreams, uncertainties, in the ground
We've found,your peace
 
And the bonds are yours and mine
We knew them well
And we won't be left behind
The brighter days still shine

In memory of mum...

In addition to writing and singing our own stuff we play, and are inspired by, an eclectic mix of traditional and contemporary folk music... with an irreverent dash of 70s American west-coast harmony-infused country rock. Yeah baby!

Our set also includes interpretations of songs by Joni Mitchell, Sandy Denny, Pentangle, Carole King, James Taylor, Townes Van Zandt, Gillian Welch, Tim Buckley and CSNY among many others.
