Lyrics;

This cruel country has driven me down

Teased me and lied, teased me and lied

I've only sad stories to tell to this town

My dreams have withered and died

Once I was bending the tops of the trees

Kind words in my ears and kind faces to see

Then I struck up with a boy from the west

They'd run and hide, they'd run and hide

Count one to ten and he's gone with the rest

My dreams have withered and died

Silver moon sailor and silver moonshine

On the water so wide, the water so wide

Steal from the bed of some good friend of mine

My dreams have withered and died

If I was a butterfly I'd live for a day

I would be free just blowing away

This cruel country has driven me down

Teased me and lied, teased me and lied

I've only sad stories to tell to this town

My dreams have withered and died

So lovely - I would love it if you had the option for closed captions. I can't hear everything you are saying. Keep up the good work!

She's a true English rose....And all the more lovely for it!Forget what you might think, but an English rose, is always a thing of beauty, no matter who appreciates her!Kate can heal all wounds with her voice....

I can't tell you how much I love your voice - this is a particularly nice song. I've only come to hear your music this past few years and have listened to lots of your music now. I called to try get to a gig but I understand you've had a baby. I hope you're enjoying the 'break' and I hope I can catch one of your gigs really soon! David :)

@browniecrumz99 She may or may not be, I don't know. But since she sings old folk songs I'd say it probably has more to do with the fact that old folk songs are from the perspective of both men and women than it has to do with whether she's straight, bi, or a lesbian. Just a guess though.

That's so epic! I've seen her a few times - I'm a Barnsley girl, and I see her when she performs locally :P

There's no song quite like a Richard Thompson song. She made a good choice, and delivers it with plaintive simplicity. Nice job.
