about

We all make marks - some last, some are ephemeral. But there are vestiges of them and of every soul that has come before us - wherever we look, wherever we are.

By buying my music, you are donating to Long Covid research, and helping support groups. All money you spend (net of basic costs) goes on to Long Covid causes. I appreciate your contribution. Thank you!

lyrics

The city wakes on purple sky
Basks in quiet time
Silent breath of early sun
On London Planes and Limes
Highgate down to Kentish Town
Bow to Rotherhithe
We walk with pavement chalk
And make our leylines
Make our leylines

Rivers swell and they ebb
Tyburn, Thames and Fleet
We weave spiders’ webs
That spread beneath our feet
Trains rattle and they roll
Snaketrails serpentine
We walk with pavement chalk
And make our leylines
Make our leylines

Oh we walk away
Oh we walk away

Go gently through the morn
Sing for the day
Our start on trodden paths
Become forgotten ways
There’s a chill that holds us still
And though it’s sure to rain tonight
In this dawn with pavement chalk
We make our leylines
Make our leylines
Make our leylines
