I have no head
The forest floor is my bed
The leaves that fall I use as a blanket
For my bones are as cold as lead
The weight of all those hungry mouths
The things they said
I have no eyes
The forest floor I despise
But I will not be gone in the morning
I will lie, still here, I will lie
You said to meet at the edge of the trees
On a Monday afternoon
I waited until the moon
Lay on your back, breathe it in
The sickly sweet of my rotting skin
And you followed the road
And it was just our dust, just our dust
The trace of your steps
Leads right to where I took my breath
For the last time, it lingers forever
As a ghost of where we last met
The stars were not so brave to show
What they don't know
Lay on your back, breathe it in
The sickly sweet of my rotting skin
And you followed the road
And it was just our dust, just our dust
Standing there in the frosty air
I knew our time had come
And you followed the road
And it was just our dust
I feel no pain
The blood is frozen in my veins
And although you were here in the morning
My skin was cold before you came

Oh my goodness it's so good to have a studio version of Here I Lie, definitely my favourite of Marika's.

[@Wolfgang3418]

This one is my favorite. You are so great in instrumentation, Marika - that flute is heavenly. Thank you.

[@tipsycat27]

Sounds very Vashti Bunyan, love it

[@amarovasconcelos7192]

Yess 😍

[@DiodeMcRoy]

Some Sibylle Baier vibes as well on some of her acoustic redition. The flute here really add that Vashti Bunyan vibe

Merci FIP !

[@photorobuk]

Every track is absolutely beautiful.

[@Godfather48hrs]

What a beautifully sad song. Thank you💕

[@gatogreensleeves]

There's no way that she hasn't played John Renbourn's "Maid In Bedlam" w/ Jaqui McShee (Black Waterside!) until the grooves are worn out. She has a throne among the great UK folkies of the 70s.

The person who probably committed the crime and is now haunted by the ghost of the lost soul in the woods.
