Travelling over the road at night
I thought I saw a faerie-light
I thought I heard a piper on the breeze that gently blew
I still maintain my plectrum green
An object that rarely if ever was seen
Given to me by a faerie queen
But they’ll never believe its true!

This was meant to be a song called “The Two Sisters” that I found in a Cecil Sharpe collection many years ago. I’d always been a bit irked that some people, who recorded it subsequently, had seemingly not known that the tune – and some of the words – were mine. The bit about ‘Boiled in Lead’ for instance. However when we put the backing track down, Steve was entranced by it and decided it was “Faerie Music”. We banded around ideas for a week or two and one morning, when I woke up, this song greeted me ! Needless to say not ALL of it is true…
