about

I wrote this song after watching the BBC documentary about Leonard Cohen and the other creatives who settled on the Greek island Hydra in the 1960s and '70s. Leonard Cohen is of course a great hero of mine.
This is a first single from my forthcoming album 'Darkling'

lyrics

I think I'm still searching for paradise
Looking to learn some things about love
If we could go through an open window
Back to the house where we once kept a dove

This journey began with a map and a man
we never meant to get this confused
sunlight poured down and we loved everyone
we thought flowers like us couldn't bruise

A heart that wide needs to go with the tide
your stories they burned up the dark
in the white hot light of the world's spotlight
while your children were building an ark

Paradise of that kind was so easy to find
It was you who said beauty and pain are the same
if we murdered a dove to find out about love
if I could I would do it all again

If I could I would do it all the same.
