Grace McFay. 04:12
One winters day I left Norfolk For Liverpool was bound. The AJS shes old but strong she never let me down. 200 miles and 50 more That far I had to ride. But I was young and foolish then No better did I know. In Derbyshire the snow was deep No further could I ride. The ice it froze upon my face As I lay on the ground. This cold dark place is where I die And soon I close my eyes. Then through the woods a figure came She said you have to rise. Get up she cried Ive waited long I ll take you to my home. Its in a clearing in the woods Theres fire to warm you through. So come with me dont be afraid My name is Grace McFay. Tis in my arms this winters night I know that you will lay. Morning came she told me how She d lost her father dear. Caught in a wicked snowstorm He is gone many a year. From that time on stormy nights She searches all the land. To find a lost young traveller The one who ll take her hand. Dear Grace says I you saved my life My love and I ll be true. My journey first I must resume There is no other way. In 2 days time I will return Once more to hear your voice. Together then we both shall be Together we shall stay. Returning to that clearing soon No cottage could I find. But in its place a gravestone stood Brambles entwined. The words were old and faded As I read them through my tears. Dear daughter Grace McFay lies here Let the forest be her bed.

about

Recorded during the covid lockdowns,so,by necessity,a solo album...all acoustic.4 songs just vocs and guitar,6 songs with multiple guitars,keys,drums,harmonica,mandolinI put the multi instrument songs first,followed by thesolo guitar/voice tunes...I guess album sequencing means little these days...people tend to listen to odd tracks here and there,.
