Name: Stream Of Graves
Duration: P00H02M38S
Description: Victoria inspired by the area she lives in writes about the pilgrim trail to St Anne’s Well, Bristol as if something ancient rises in layers and echoes from the past. What was then is still now. Gorgeous harmonies and resounding, over layering of misty, expansive sounds that ring and merge and hold the hand of those who listen as they’re guided in beside the Stream of Graves.

lyrics

I took my pain to a stream of graves
Where the flowers bloomed white and plain.
Marked out footprints that misbehave
Drowned by the earth and drunk in the rain.

On the pilgrims way,
To the stream of graves.

The king and queen the stream they see
Is the same no matter the grave
The pulse that it gives for us to be free
Meets with my pain in it’s watery cave.

On the pilgrims way,
By the stream of graves.

In the end dust thrives on lust
Through the damp air whence it came
The feet will change and the path adjust
The stream still flows all the same.

On the pilgrims way,
In the stream of graves.
