about

In deep mid-winter there is a straw bear that stalks the streets of Whittlesey. At nearby Crowland the river has run dry and crows now inhabit the abbey ruins.
Singing and e-bow guitar by Edgar Broughton with vocal drones by Duir.
Taken from the album 'Sodden Dogs and Blind, Winged Horses'.

lyrics

Down the long road feeling hungry and cold
In freezing rain I breathe again
Out through the sheets of ice and snow
Into a land where no one would ever choose to go.

I’m out in the marsh with the open sky
The hooded men they pass me by
A Trinity bridge in a market square
The river it spans is no longer there.

The towering walls where the black crows fly
The shifting soil blows the flat lands dry
A future time not too far away
Just barren lands of lifeless clay.

I’m out in the Fen with a dancing bear
A mid-winter scene in a market square
A forgotten town of strength and strife
The burnings here bring forth new life.
