    I'm grateful to Tania Chanter for giving me permission to use the wonderful painting "Shipwreck Coast" for the cover of my latest CD. You'll notice that the CD cover does not have titles across - I did this to preserve the art, only the online version has the album title embedded.

about

A story about a shamed Edwardian lady - who drowns herself wrapping stones in the folds of her clothes

lyrics

The Cold Green Sea


Lies and stones now weigh these folds , and will
carry my shame far below
the prying eyes and judging scorn
for a lady’s fall from grace
the cold green sea will
carry me away

I lay with my young beau on war’ s eve
a’ feared we’d ne’er be wed
his blood now feeds a field of rust
but his seed in me does bed
the cold green sea will
carry me away

my own father did disown me and
turn me from his house
for gentlewomen dare not love
‘fore a gentle soldier dies
the cold green sea will
carry me away

rise and shine you paper boys
here’s story ripe to read
a woman shamed a woman drowned
may it serve morality
the cold green sea will
carry me away
the cold green sea will
carry me away
