about

It has to be a folk song as it has the word Plantagenet in it...try rhyming that!....True story I went to school next to the castle mound..or what was left of it..

lyrics

THE WHITE HARE (MATILDA IN THE SNOW)

THE MIST IS ROLLING DOWN THE RIVER
THE TREES ARE ALL BENT WITH SNOW
SOMEWHERE OUT THERE IN THOSE COLD FIELDS
A WOMAN IS WALKING IN A WHITE CLOAK

NOTHING WILL BE THE SAME
NOTHING WILL REMAIN
LIKE A WHITE HARE IN THE SNOW
THERE SHE GOES

SHE SLID DOWN THE ROPE AND ACROSS THE LAWN
THROUGH THE BRACKEN, ALONG THE RIVER WALK
SHIVERING FOR MILES ON THE GREY DECEMBER DAY
FOLLOWING THE SNAKING PATH OF THE ICY THAMES

SHE REACHED WALLINGFORD AS THE SUN BEGAN TO SET
JUST AS HER PRISON GUARDS REALISED THEIR MISTAKE
A BLIZZARD WAS BLOWING ACROSS ENGLAND AND FRANCE
WHEN THE ANARCHY THAWED IT WAS ALL PLANTAGENET

about

trailer star Nottingham, UK

It’s hard going at times but glory can come from misery. The fragility and the feeling of being on the edge of toppling over is balanced by the skeletal beauty of the songs.
Paul Kerr - Blabber n' Smoke
