about

This is part of a (nearly) gapless album. Feel free to download it as a standalone track, but to hear it in context you know it makes more sense to download the whole thing...

Downloading the full album will also get you high quality digital copies of the full album artwork booklet and the unreleased Butcher Bull artwork!

Better still - buy the cd and feel it!

Your Student (for hammered dulcimer and bottleneck fingers)

Words and music by David Lawrie

Purest was the porcelain skin of the sinner at night.

A shimmer of moonlight's incision
Through a curtain crack;
From your sweat it does refract,
Dazzling me.

Surest was the innocent that his soul investment was right.

Seeing with your finger tips,
Listening with blood-red lips,
Speaking with an open hand,
Lying to me.

Show me what you feel.
Tell me how you feel.
Put it in a song.
Sing it soft and long

And sing to me.



I studied every inch of your body for hours on end.

Asleep and unashamed,
Asleep and un-enabled,
Your breathing was a welcome breeze
Cooling me off.

Muddled were the hands of the one who had love to send.

Muddy with the dirt you kept,
Bloody from the tears you wept.
Show me everything you hide
In your own time.

Tell me how you feel.
Show me what you feel.
Sing your perfect song,
Powerful and strong

And sing to me.
