lyrics

Under a half harvest moon
Hung in blood test maroon
We ride out singing old Dylan tunes
Dim drive down slim dog-leg lanes
To Shingle Street again
I’m so happy to be sat with Welsh Jane

Though North Sea gales have no sympathy
They make me feel so alive

Tumbling out from the car
into a night full of stars
Ships’ lanterns flicker faint from afar
Smoke blends with salt in the air
The wind’s blast ruffles our hair
We squint for a horizon that’s not there

Though North Sea gales have no sympathy
They make me feel so alive

Oh, endure with me
Come hope with me, Welsh Jane
Come, be known as you know me
Great love grows patiently

Swells rock the bells in the buoys
Chimes join the clamour and noise
Of that big sea’s familiar voice
Waves spit out stones at the shore
Then gulp them back once more
To be cherished in some deep briny store

Though North Sea gales have no sympathy
I couldn’t feel more alive

Oh, endure with me
Come hope with me, Welsh Jane
Come, be known as you know me
Great love grows patiently…

about

Rev Simpkins UK

Notorious sinner-songwriter, folk symphonist & Anglican priest.
The Rev’s unique psychedelic gospel and gritty folk owes as much to the Old Testament, & the dark folk tales & barren landscapes of Essex & Suffolk, as it does to his musical heroes Bert Jansch, Captain Beefheart & the Kinks. He comes from a long line of priests whose fiery performances characterise his own style. ... more
