lyrics

In the English countryside
Too quiet for you
Not far enough away from London for a country man
It's just the end of innocence
A little soon to be content
It's the wilderness for a country man

How does it feel to be the rose
Of course sunlight filled the church
Your leaving song

Carefully she came to sign
Her parting words be strong be kind
How to summarise?
Like something borrowed and something blue
I promise there's no curse
It had to be her

How does it feel to be the rose
Of course sunlight filled the church
Your leaving song

A vixen was your mother
And she moved your father's world
Now the February clouds are here

How does it feel to be the rose
How does it feel to be the rose
Only to experience
What it is to grow my friend
And die the same
How does it feel to be the rose
Of course sunlight filled the church
Your leaving song

Bethia Beadman' new album 'Into the Peace' has been played on BBC Radio by Robert Elms and Janice Long: Intimate and confessional, the songs emerge from a violent energy. Like the best artists, all Bethia’s life experiences have ended up in her voice – languid, velvety, with a resonant cloak of darkness. ... more
