Sweet lady, stay with me
Let us wander forever free
You’re all in this world that I need
And your heart is as pure as can be
Sweet lady, you set me at ease
For your eyes are so bright and full of peace
To have one friend like you, who can teach me the truth
I am blessed by your light that’s for sure
In your garden I do pray
That the lord protect you in every way
Sharing music and love, with the bright stars above
Yes my heart it smiles for us each day
When we sit by the fire and sing away
In the days which have been granted free and safe
Tiny roof over head, with a warm and cosy bed
We are blessed beyond belief each night and day
Sweet lady, stay with me
Let us wander, forever free
You are all in this world that I need
And your heart is as pure as can be
For my Anna

Guillemot Days whisks us to a glistening shoreline, awash with 10 sublime songs full of serene hope. Compelling right from the buoyant opener Edge Of The World and Butterfly overflows with soaring, twangy sunshine. For a fave, so close with the lush vocals, melodic layers of Flowers Of Hope versus Peace And Plenty: an intriguing, modern parlour song both eerie and exquisite, voices and clarinet blending into something quite special. This album is a musical lighthouse on a dark day. Unmissable. anitajoyce
What a tribute, I haven’t the words to say how this group have been the soundtrack to my life, through good and bad.
Anything that helps is the least I can do, missed dearly. Joe Zux
John Drumbo French from Captain Beefheart and The Magic Band worked with Thompson on two albums along with Fred Frith and Henry Kaiser.
Those two French, Frith, Kaiser and Thompson albums led me to this.
Also, Richard Thompson taught Hugh Cornwell (of The Stranglers) how to play the bass guitar in a band when they were both at the same school (Emil and The Detectives?).
With a career spanning 50 years and playing with two of my heroes (French and Cornwell) Thompson has produced a fascinating EP. yellowcakeuf6
