A Night On the Blue Mountain by James Holt Music

Do I ever cross your mind? Do you close your eyes and wander back? Does the sheer mention of my name still cause all your blood to rush all over, and every nerve to stand on end? Or is the air a little clearer? The moon a little nearer? Is the atmosphere lighter? The sun a little brighter? Do I ever cross your mind? Do I ever cross your mind? Are you anticipating? I've spent so long waiting by the phone, Sometimes when I'm all alone at night I will start to type your number, and wander through our messages, Or did you trade me for another? You find someone to call a lover? Did you climb one step higher? Does he fill a deep desire? Do I ever cross your mind? Do I ever cross your mind? Now I never cross your mind ‘cause I bet your life’s a little easier, Your time a little breezier, Have you found a new provider? Is your smile a little wider? So you’ve had your fun, Guess I jumped an unloaded gun mistaking you for a bullet to dodge, So please put your stubbornness aside and tell me do I ever cross your mind? Do I ever cross your mind? Do I ever cross your mind? Do I ever cross your mind?

Release date: 15th May 2020 So I guess you heard the news? Woke up to the cry of a battle drum, No one knew where the riders had come from, nobody in hell stood a chance, And then came the raining of arrows, in one fell swoop I can call myself a widow, There is a debt that must be paid, Sundown, your home was ransacked, Shot down by the devils riding horseback, Sundown the banners turn the same shade of black, So I guess you heard the news? On the sunrise we rode into the valley below, A fine line between plain and alley, you know how it goes, the pendulum of war, And they tell you murder’s never easy but you should’ve seen the ease in which we did it, How can you deny a man’s revenge? Sundown, your home was ransacked, Shot down by the devils riding horseback, Sundown the banners turn the same shade of black,

B-side to new single 'Whatever Happened to John?' released on 7th July 2017.

Performed, recorded and produced by James Holt, 2016-17. Mastered by Alex Wharton, Abbey Road studios (2017) Demo first released in 2015. Hey Bill, what d'you kill? Ain't no way stop a thrill. But Jill, write your will, hope you don't rest in landfill, Stop there young lady, don't you go and shed any more tears, Oh boy, here's your toy, give yourself a little joy. My ploy, decoy, the horse that's heading for Troy, Sit up and stand up, against all of your darkest fears, You can stand me in a line but you'll never be in control, There ain't a lot of hope for me, Hey John, you've gone, went out and left your light on. I spawn, break of dawn, conducting cars with a baton, You better find the key to all that ever will be, Oh Paul, on the wall, see it that you don't fall, Close call, canon ball, ringing the local town hall, Maybe we'd hear the answer to our plea, You can stand me in a line but you'll never be in control, There ain't a lot of hope for me, You eat like a Roman, lie on your back and want more, You kiss like a demon, crouch on your front like a whore, You talk like a Queen, foam drooling from your mouth, You fight like a teen, who's left all of his arms back down south, Oh Lord, take a sword, and strike me before I get bored, Ignored, in the ward, lying on the cutting board, Hope I can pay, my debt in bags of stone, You can stand me in a line but you'll never be in control, There ain't a lot of hope for me, There ain't a lot of hope for me, There ain't a lot of hope for me, There ain't a lot of love for me,

'Sunlight Abstractions II' - Alison Jardine Must I compete with a ghost? I felt as if we had become so close, But you invert and fold your coast, When I ask you who do you love the most? You once said to me only love has no ends, And on this belief your heart depends, You'll sooner forgive foe than friend, But with this sundered lover you'll never make amends, I was discarded like steam from a train, I thought you were crying but it was just the rain, Tears of my own I must refrain, For every drop I would lose you again, I clung to an horizon on a cloudless day, I combed the night for stars to wish my doubts away, With empty words you've led me astray, And I'm not sure if you love me or you didn't know what else to say,
