lyrics

Tonight it's your big leaving do, and my last chance to say goodbye. behind your friends I'll join the queue. I loved you in a quiet way. In loads of workplaces, I suppose, two people like us part each day, one unaware the other holds a love, but in a quiet way. I'm looking for a taxi now, and your best friends are still with you. At least I took the chance to say I love you in a quiet way.

22/12/22 - I will follow Hen Ogledd anywhere they go. As a matter of fact, I will follow half of Hen Ogledd anywhere they go. These are beautiful, dark, brooding songs. They sound awesome heard with undivided attention, and are also turning out to be great accompaniment to a reread of Ursula Le Guin's Malafrena. Grain Sparrow
