Darling it needs to be said
We are still young but our love is stone dead
And cold as the sheets on the big empty bed
Where I will not lay down any more
Time wins at every race
The wrecking ball swings at a glacial pace
Creeps up upon you like the lines on your face
And the aches at the end of the day
Isn’t it strange?
Strange but isn’t any less true
I spent the best years of my life waiting on you
Oh the change
Change isn’t easy to see
So you spent the best years of your life trying to change me.
I look at the world and feel small
It seems further back up every time that we fall
You have no hard feelings, I have no feelings at all
Still, I hope that I see you around
Some day we’ll look back and see
I’m not right for you, you are not meant for me
If we’re made for each other we’re made imperfectly
From pieces that never fit right.
Darling it needs to be said
We are still young but our love is stone dead
And cold as the sheets on the big empty bed
Where I will not lay down any more

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. yellowcakeuf6

Sweet to the soul. This skillful, passionate set of songs causes the fluttering of wings along with the tranquilness of a heart at peace.
An album to learn from. lightsound77
