lyrics

A velvet ghost

Written, performed and recorded by Steph Sweet in England May 2015

Soon, a velvet ghost steals you away
To where the hawthorn floats.
Takes you beyond the trees,
Under the bridge and the black, Irish clouds
Out to sea.
Soon, a velvet ghost in faded blue
Goes gathers toads and stoats.
Takes you beneath the tilth.
Under the root and the horn and the hoof,
Underneath.
Soon, a velvet ghost is come for you.
To go where I cannot.
Takes you far out of reach.
Under the water to the waning moon’s daughter.
Out to sea.
A velvet ghost.
A velvet ghost.

For Kay ♥

Born under a cloud of red Saharan sand and singing before I could talk.
“Deeply embracing a true underground spirit is Steph Sweet. It is ushered in with a specifity to it all that lingers on the margins of the fine line between genius and madness, but you don’t hear music like this too often.”
