about

B-Side track dedicated to the Northern English writer Alfred Wainwright.

lyrics

Last neet on Haystacks I met wi' a man
By a pool of water named Innominate Tarn
Grey coit and glasses, soaked to the bone
Awash with indifference, sketchbook in hand
Awash with indifference, sketchbook in hand

High Stile and Brandreth confirm my surprise
As do scree, crag and lichen, moss rush and mere
Grasmoor stands proud and Great Gable likewise
As Black Sails awaits for my slumber tonight
As Black Sails awaits for my slumber tonight

Scribbling and sketching Pillar Rock on yonder
Liza will you call to the heavens above?
Liza, Liza, heavens above, Liza, Liza, heavens above

The evening it passed and soon broke the morn
The Ghost of Wainwright is etched into my mind
Descending The Saddle the slate skids and cracks
To recall of my tale in an alehouse I'll find
To recall of my tale in an alehouse I'll find
