Long before I knew the path we were going
Seems as though I should have stopped it
Oh, all these things, we'd done before
Been so many years since I was alone here
Lakeshore is glowing
Oh, all these things we'd done before
Was it an accident? Was it an offering?
Oh, was it yours?
First five, then four
First five, now four
First five, now four
Dark
Eyes in the dark
Looking for what?
Yours
Anything yours, anything ours
All I own
I don't want, can't be sold
Slow river to cross
Steady us all
Young world in your heart
Rivers I know
All I own
I don't want, can't be sold
Been so many years since I was alone here
Lakeshore is glowing
Oh, all these things we'd done before
Was it an accident? Was it an offering?
Oh, was it yours?
First five, now four
First five, now four
First five, now four
First five, now four
All I own
I don't want, can't be sold
I don't want, can't be sold
I don't want, can't be sold

I wonder what this is about? 
 
A close friend of hers was killed in a traffic accident. It is quite something that this beauty can come from grief.

I was driving through the Blue Ridge Mountains on the way to my mom's and this song was tucked away in my iPod and had not been sorted into a playlist.  Here I was being directed by my GPS through little mountain roads, through tree tunnels, past billows of wildflowers when this started playing.  The whole experience was so enchanting I played this song on repeat for the rest of the hour drive.

Yes very Folksy , shame about the Morris Dancers coming in too loud though.

 
It certainly does have the aroma of Real Ale hanging about it.  Touch of the Bishop's Finger, perhaps

ps  nicely followed by Iron & Wine - Pagan Angel - so there might be some link

One of my favorite ladies, a select few who can make one fall in love with just their voice and a fine story.
