about

. ( all 10 track notes, by Alan Trench) . Who Lives Here – postcard from a strange land, where only ruins can be seen - the reality is very different .

lyrics

. who lives here where the white doves nest ... midst unmortered stones & immortal rest ... who lives here where the yew shades black ... and the thorn apple stands near the black bole crack ... who live there nether illimitable sky ... on the black green heath where the kestrels fly . you lived here ... do you live here still? ... through the firefly nights on the shadowed hill ... where the vixen's cream & the dark moth owl on velvet wings entwine like flowers ... who lives here neat illimitable sky ... on the black green heath where the kestrels fly?
