There is an end to every thing -
the breath we take and the songs we sing
and the last note rings and dies away
but the song stays sung 'til the end of days
and all we do may be undone
but love stays loved and songs stay sung
Love stays loved and songs stay sung
Astronomers could never chart
the constellations of the heart
For lovers part and lovers pine
but the love stays loved 'til the end of time
and all we do may be undone
but love stays loved and songs stay sung
Love stays loved and songs stay sung
And every life's a brief, bright spark
that dies and seems to leave no mark
So we curse the dark and we mourn the flame
but the things it showed us still remain
and all we do may be undone
but love stays loved and songs stay sung
Love stays loved and songs stay sung
And I've been told that we are made
of dust cast off when stars decayed
and the bodies fade that once were ours
but the dust goes on to make new stars
and all we do may be undone
but love stays loved and songs stay sung
Love stays loved and songs stay sung!

Three of the most talented folk/roots/acoustic artists currently at the very top of their game. Spoiler alert; is Spanish Lady actually about Catherine of Aragon or have I been reading too much Hilary Mantel? ***** bass_campdelta

Powerful collection rooted in the stories that must be re-told. Played by some of the most generous community music people I’ve met during my foray into Old Time music.
This CD is a keeper! Ellen B. (Elly) Marshall
