I think I chatted to someone from the Grove at Cleethorpes last year but the combination of alcohol, Martyn's singing and the incoming tide viewed from the upper floor of the Winter Gardens overwhelmed the little grey cells... |

From: The Doctor If you can make it to The Grove tomorrow both books should be on sale there, and you'll be able to get a signed copy. Otherwise contact Sam Dodds on ed.sam.music@virgin.net. Failing all of that send me a PM and I'll sort something for you. |

Box 40, Workington, Cumbria, CA14 3JG, UK. We heard Martyn sing Songs by Graeme Miles at Cleethorpes last year and decided to go for the CD on the strength of that alone. Good luck with the song, it is very nice to sing! |

07 May 07 - 06:10 AM (#2045082) Subject: Lyr Add: WHERE RAVENS FEED (Graeme Miles) From: Jim Dixon These seem to be the complete lyrics. Found here. WHERE RAVENS FEED Graeme Miles I roam and ramble in lonely places, all in the coolness of the rain, Over rolling hill and rugged mountains, over sandy heath and grassy plain; And should you ask, am I contented? I'd answer, "Yes, oh, yes indeed", For my love it is for lonely places where springs leap down, where ravens feed. I seek and find these lonely places where bounds the hare, and deer run Over crags of grey and mossy boulders, shaded from the morning sun; And should you ask, am I at ease there? I'd answer, "Yes, oh, yes indeed", For my heart it dwells in lonely places where springs leap down, where ravens feed. I yearn and long for lonely places where hunts the fox and badgers play, Where midnight stars are at their brightest, where snow lies deep where mists hang grey; And should you ask, am I at home there? I'd answer, "Yes, oh, yes indeed", For my desires are for lonely places where springs leap down, where ravens feed. I lose myself in lonely places on heathered moor and bracken fell, And with the wind hold conversation. It always has so much to tell; And should you ask, am I at ease there? I'd answer, "Yes, oh, yes indeed", For I'll always need these lonely places where springs leap down, where ravens feed. |
