The oldest track on this EP. Took ages to record for some reason. I like it because it sounds like I actually know how to play the guitar.
lyrics
Come on down, sullen love, southern love,
Walk on into the light.
Oh long day, seeing you, Virginia,
You were the light on my face,
Your American grace was
A strange sort of sunlight
That never felt unright;
Alone, my heart, said hello, my heart.
I was made in the north, in the north,
Grew me out of the cold.
Take me down to the South, to the sound of
The songs that you sung when
You felt that much younger,
They're pulling me under,
The sound of the thunder,
Alone, my heart, said hello, my heart.
A look back at the late Bert Jansch's 1985 classic, "From The Outside," an album that bridges the gap between his native Scotland and the Americana his music invokes. Bandcamp Album of the Day Jun 14, 2016
