lyrics

A flash, it happens fast,
No time to react,
Three swifts screaming past above me.
I catch a streak of black
And strange how my brain, untrained,
Can’t place it in this time and space.
In this time and space.

A chase, throwing shapes,
Remain watching the game they play,
Forget about the world around me.
This year’s first to appear,
This sound, a joy to hear,
A perch and their search for home ends at my own,
Their search for home ends at my own.

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.
