High on a shelf
Covered with little black flies
Hidden from everyone’s eyes
But my own
There was a hope
There was a little black box
Empty, forgotten and locked
But my own
Kissed him goodbye
Under a little black cloud
Hiding my heart from my brow
Grey upon grey
Floor after floor after floor
Vanishing May
That was the sky that I saw
Sixty-six miles
Clutching my little black dog
Trains, Pennsylvania fog
Struck it through
Folded my coat
Wrote in my little black book
Pictured his face, and I shook
Struck it through
High on a shelf
Wearing my little black dress
Told myself never, unless...
Grey upon grey
Floor after floor after floor
Vanishing May
That was the sky that I saw

Just a great and varied collection of songs from all sorts of different acts. I buy this festival record annually and will continue to do so. Gavin Hellyer
