Lyrics:

Been let in on the nearest darkness
You search within my eyes for lies
She was your lover when you had no one here
She was your outcry
You are written in to my very blood
You are written in to every cell
And if you ever did betray me
It's written in there as well

Ah you are my love
Don't ever you doubt me
Let doubt never shadow your face
Your face... so dear... to me..

I want to know where was my instinct
When your life was crumbled there in your hands
And you hid all of the rubble from me
Sinking in that quicksand
When you're let in on the nearest darkness
And you find that it has tilted your mind
Find me there inside the darkness
With my words I will bind... You to me...

Ah you are my love
Don't ever you doubt me
Let doubt never shadow your face
Your face... So dear... To me...

You went away - 
Her name never mentioned - 
Role was implied... 
Her role was implied..
Her role was implied..
You know your place 
on the brink more and more 
these days these days
It's treacherous but you 
join me anyway.. 
You gave me so many miles,
I gave you miles of my own
You said, "That's how you see me now.."

- Ah you are my love
Don't ever you doubt me
Let doubt never shadow your face

Your face
So dear
To me... 

Let Doubt Never Shadow Your Face

Niamh McKinney is a singer-songwriter from Wicklow. Having kept notebooks of poetry since childhood, she didn't start writing songs until one day in 2015, when songs suddenly started pouring out. Unsure as to the nature of what she had composed during this first creative burst, a form of validation came a month later when she won the Allingham Songwriting Competition with one of the first songs she wrote.
      Poetically rich - both lyrically and melodically - her heart-rending songs draw on stories and life experience, captivating by way of their ethereal sense of urgency and foreboding.
     Niamh writes her songs a capella. Her musical partner and husband Stephen McKinney (who has previously played guitar and synths with prog rock fusion band Leo Drezden) then crafts evocative guitar accompaniment which interweaves seamlessly with the songs, complementing their haunting quality. The two are currently working on producing their debut album.
