lyrics

It was something new, washing hands in the morning dew. Take me with you.
It felt good until time just wouldn't stand still. Take me with you.

Well I never met her, but she was my magic carpet weaver.
Don't hold back.
Yes I never met her, but she was my magic carpet weaver.
Don't hold back.

Once you caught my eye, nimble fingers sweep and glide in time with mine.
Stolen glances made, watched by widows in the shade. Leave her behind.

Well I never met her, but she was my magic carpet weaver.
Don't hold back.
Yes I never met her, but she was my magic carpet weaver.
Don't hold back.

about

James Dey Leeds, UK

James is based in Leeds, England, where he finds inspiration in birds, trees, overheard conversations and nostalgic longings. The music is all hushed beauty, telling small stories of seemingly unremarkable things.
2022 will see the release of new album ‘Tongues in Trees’, drawn from James' theatre soundtracks.

“Beautiful, exploratory, gorgeous songwriting…I love it” - Guy Garvey, BBC 6 Music.
