lyrics

Darling what a day, digging up the dead,
The treasures they’ve left behind.
Is this where we will end,
ashes burnt and scattered beside the shed.
Skeletons of beds they slept in and the hair products she used to wear,
Unearthing what remains.
Tangled in the ivy that’s been growing through the intervening years
And as the evening clears into
Sunshine, can I describe that hazy light or must I see it again?

Signatures scrawled on the wooden walls,
Theresa was here.
Confession of love, him 4 her, with teenage abandon.
Even now all of the dust has settled
And the musty smell has left the sofa arms, visions still remain,
Kneeling low with fingers muddy,
nails grubby from the hard work of a long day, spent with
A thirst, sunburst, the turning of the earth and
2 quick pumping lungs. Spent with
A thirst, sunburst, the turning of the earth and
2 quick pumping lungs.
Sunshine, can I describe?

Darling there you stand,
beautiful in the lengthening shadows.
A head full of plans,
heart light and pounding away, as always.

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.
