A song about forbidden love in the English folk tradition.
Any mention of the track on the package was omitted to reinforce the “taboo” subject nature and “because it tries to make its point in a very quiet way”
I meet my love under the stars
So far from watching eyes
Five long years we've met this way
My love, the night and I
So much in love we walked 'til dawn
Far away from city walls
In forest shelter-covered field
A flower blooms as darkness falls
This love so bold goes undeclared
A joy unseen, a world unknown
A love that dare not speak its name
Hidden treasure, precious stone
My lover's hand is wrapped in mine
Hidden always from the day
Across this meeting draws a veil
The age of reason turns away
For we two men go on and on
And my love walks next to me
And in some far off place I know
That our love may shameless be
