about

Recorded entirely during lockdown at different locations in Bristol and Bradford-On-Avon.

lyrics

The lights have gone out on the City Scape
The carousel a ghostly ride
In my head there's a snapshot of the name and the place
Lest I forget them

It's snowing blossom at the church today
For the wedding that never was
The town hall and the market place
Are missing a kind of buzz

No one's to blame

The hazy county lines disappear
I long for a deeper depth of field
I see your face pressed against the window pane
But you refuse to come and play

It's snowing Blossom at the church today
For the Wedding that never was
The town hall and the market place
Are missing a kind of buzz

No one's to blame

I saw you at the demonstration
I captured you
You were out of time

I left you at the sleeping station
I focussed out
For good this time

No one's to blame

I capture you again and again in my mind
It's a black and white kind of day
A cigarette scented seventies
Bakelite kind of grey

No one's to blame.
