Music and Lyrics by Kate Dimbleby
written for Living Spit's Odyssey 2021

lyrics

The world keeps turning
my thoughts from you
The fire is almost out

If love's a warning
I'm losing you
Then what is love about?

You in the hall
you by my side
Always its you

You with our child
there in the wild
fragments of you

And they all think they know
But mistress fate she owes me
A little taste of what
I have been waiting for
My Reckless you

The wheel keeps spinning
the thread unbound
to weave this golden shroud

I'll take instruction
from gods above
not this unruly crowd

Cos they all think they know
But mistress fate she owes me
A little taste of what
I have been waiting for
My Reckless you

Your legend reached us
so long ago
your son is fully grown

So why should we just
weep, cook and sew
in your forgotten home

One hundred men
Asking me when?
What would you do?

I've woven this shroud
50 times now
And now I'm through

And they all think they know
But mistress fate she owes me
A little taste of what
I have been waiting for
My Reckless you
