At 4:00 starts a hidden track, a rendition of
“I Prithee Send Me Back My Heart”
Musical poem composed by John Suckling and Henry Lawes (1596-1662), with Dr. Henry Hughes (1602-1652)

Since I cannot have thine;

Yet now I think on't, let it lie
To see it were in vain;
For th'hast a thief in either eye
Would steal it back again”
Mary Timony released Ash and Alice on Tue May 21 2002.
