lyrics
the first time I saw you
you would not stop to talk
your fierce determination
was going to get you to the top
then the mountain became
as a blade of grass
lowering you to the delphin sea
can one’s heart
can one’s heart break
can one’s heart break
even as it bursting be?
I love you, yes I do
I love everything about you
I love how you laugh in your sleep
how you smell of roses when you weep
I love your style
your wide-open prairie smile
hide not your light under a bushel
the next time I saw you
I saw that you had changed
you’d pulled the darkness ’round you
and hid yourself away
liquified by ancient tides
you waited quietly
can one’s heart
can one’s heart break
can one’s heart break
even as it bursting be?
I love you, yes I do
I love everything about you
I love how you laugh in your sleep
how you smell of roses when you weep
I love your style
your wide-open prairie smile
hide not your light under a bushel
the last time I saw you
you’d changed your name to Liberty
your fierce determination
as you twisted to break free
and when you finally unfurled in glorious victory
can one’s heart
can one’s heart break
can one’s heart break
even as it bursting be?
I love you, yes I do
I love everything about you
what you might consider a weakness or a flaw
we consider uniqueness, real and right for you
we love your style
your wide-open prairie smile
hide not your light under a bushel…
someday you might
need your own light
to see
hide not your light under a bushel
you would not stop to talk
your fierce determination
was going to get you to the top
then the mountain became
as a blade of grass
lowering you to the delphin sea
can one’s heart
can one’s heart break
can one’s heart break
even as it bursting be?
I love you, yes I do
I love everything about you
I love how you laugh in your sleep
how you smell of roses when you weep
I love your style
your wide-open prairie smile
hide not your light under a bushel
the next time I saw you
I saw that you had changed
you’d pulled the darkness ’round you
and hid yourself away
liquified by ancient tides
you waited quietly
can one’s heart
can one’s heart break
can one’s heart break
even as it bursting be?
I love you, yes I do
I love everything about you
I love how you laugh in your sleep
how you smell of roses when you weep
I love your style
your wide-open prairie smile
hide not your light under a bushel
the last time I saw you
you’d changed your name to Liberty
your fierce determination
as you twisted to break free
and when you finally unfurled in glorious victory
can one’s heart
can one’s heart break
can one’s heart break
even as it bursting be?
I love you, yes I do
I love everything about you
what you might consider a weakness or a flaw
we consider uniqueness, real and right for you
we love your style
your wide-open prairie smile
hide not your light under a bushel…
someday you might
need your own light
to see
hide not your light under a bushel

Serpent's Tears
by Richard Thompsonsupported by 5 fans who also own “Hide Not Your Light”
There's a similarity in song writing between Richard Thompson and Hugh Cornwell which maybe isn't surprising as they went to the same school at the same time, although Thompson is older. Due to Thompson's association with John French of Captain Beefheart & The Magic Band I searched for his work on the Bandcamp app. French, Thompson and Cornwell all have albums on the app which I'm very pleased about. Only Thompson has released contemporary albums, much to his credit.

words can’t describe how beautiful this album is. it’s one of those few albums where the pure emotions that are impossible to put into words fully transcend the music and put you in a trance for 40-50 minutes. lush, ornate, immaculately preformed and produced

Bloody Noses EP
by Richard Thompsonsupported by 5 fans who also own “Hide Not Your Light”
John Drumbo French from Captain Beefheart and The Magic Band worked with Thompson on two albums along with Fred Frith and Henry Kaiser. Those two French, Frith, Kaiser and Thompson albums led me to this. Also, Richard Thompson taught Hugh Cornwell (of The Stranglers) how to play the bass guitar in a band when they were both at the same school (Emil and The Detectives?). With a career spanning 50 years and playing with two of my heroes (French and Cornwell) Thompson has produced a fascinating EP.
