The lyrics George Seto posted are from the Honeychildren website, devoted to the music of Eddi Reader, who first recorded this song on her CD "Angels and Electricity" (Compass, 1999).
Eddi is a singer and songwriter from Glasgow, an amazing talent with a wonderful voice. On her latest album "Simple Soul" (Compass, 2001) she has a song by the same author, Boo Hewerdine, called "Footsteps Fall" which was covered by Maura O'Connell on Jerry Douglas's latest, "Lookout For Hope" (Sugar Hill, 2002).
Compass Records is owned by Alison Brown.
