- b-side to 'The Libertine'
In a time of loneliness
I fell into your strong open arms
And in those arms you loved me well
You hid me in your charm
And in that charm we headed south
Knowing nothing of my demons
There were devils in the winds at night
Walking fire among the hills
And many voices called me out to the cliffs
But you held me safe
You wrestled me still
Wiping the black blood from my mouth
Speeding into nowhere
It starts in Penzance where the winds are born
And follows the track of this train
And just like my love calling out for you
It is calling me back again and again
What a beautiful town
I shouted out
Oh, but what a terrifying view
You know I wrestled with my bruised hours
Just to lie there next to you
Deep in the dark heart of the south
Speeding into nowhere
My love, come stop me
I am haunted and possessed
And with my darkest hour yet to come
It's only you
Only you can stop me now
Come back to Penzance where the winds are born
Just follow the track of this train
And just like this love calling out for you
It is calling me out again and again
So come stop me
Only you can stop me
Stop me
Now
This is the perfect song, last week I pulled up in Penzance at 11 o'clock in the rain, to a deserted train station. With a view of St Michael's Mount. I didn't know where I was going, or where to find the girl I wanted to stay with. The only only sound was the sea. This reminds me of that night. That's why I love Patrick, he writes music for nighttime and for journeys. x
i don't have any words to describe this heartbreaking melody and heartbreaking lyrics. i cry but the same time i'm so happy i've found this wonderful creature.
I once listened to PW during a thunderstorm in Michigan where I was spending a Summer. I ran outside and found an old wagon where I layed down and just watched the lighting then i spotted a young dear trying to crouch under a bush...it was a magical night and it would'nt have been so much so if it were'nt for his music
And the magic of connecting with nature and the summer storms in Michigan.
WOW , wrenching , poignant , dark , authentic evocative, simply a breath taking stunning piece of artistry awestruck
Astonishing lyrics. Underrated musician
Wind in the Wires - the neoromantic masterpiece of the 21st. century. To me Penzance is his Kate Bushiest song. Reminds me of her early piano pieces from the mid-70s.
It never seemed "Kate Bushy" to me, but maybe you're right.
Really appreciate your efforts, these photos of Patrick are so "him", and the atmosphere of this video is so touching. I enjoy it. Thanks!
i'm getting more and more into him...
My favorite Patrick Wolf song is Magic Position XD it's forever my happy song! 😊 But yet, I had this song stuck in my head! I love this song too!
Those lyrics are magnificant
Superb!
@DamnHotChocolate it's in Cornwall. Magical place. I love it, I've been there in april, without tourists... amazing. Cornwall is definitely my favourite place in Europe.
Beautiful.
Me too. He´s just like the greatest. Guys are so lucky thou :( *sobbs*
Ah, he's a genius all the way, but Wind in the Wires remains my favorite album. This piece reminds me alot of the early Kate Bush demos. A piano, a voice and so much melancholy passion.
this song....
I just found out about this band. I'm glad I did, seems to be pretty good so far.
Breathtakingly beautiful.
Love this track. Patrick's b-sides are even better than most of his LP tracks...
Beautiful!
my god, what a perfect song! *-*
S~This is very much beautiful what you say here. With just those few words you rivet a person to want more. What you say is the perfect opening paragraph to a wonderful book. From the first word 'last' to the last word 'Sea', is perfection! It simply is! xxAxx
pure art.
Most (if not all) of Patrick Wolf's singles come with B-Sides. This particular one is from the WITW era.
This has Irish folk song written all over it.
I so badly want to go to penzance.
Love this :)
''My love... Come stop me...''
Piano sounds similar to Olivia Newton John. :) But it's really nice. This could have been one of her songs.
好聽
I'm lost in this song
@starmanlover I'm always homesick for Penzance :(
3:55 always kills me.
If you like this, give Fionn Regan's 'Snowy Atlas Mountains' a listen.
@crumbbycrumb The best songs are always b-sides.
Does anyone have the sheet music for this? I really want to play it on piano.
I'm looking for this as well.
@mairimartnet thanks :)
