about

I was playing my guitar doing an alternating bass thing, and then started singing this lyric. At that time, I didn’t think the lyric was a thing, it didn’t fit the rhythm of the guitar so it was useful in forcing me to concentrate on the guitar. After a bit, I thought maybe the lyric was a thing so I recorded it. Why on earth this subject matter came my way I have no idea at all.

lyrics

I watched you sail from the shore
Your father closed the store
Your brother........such a bore
I know I'll see you nevermore
I watched you sail away
And I know, I know, I know
I will see you nevermore
Why don't you stay
Why did I let you sail away
I will see you nevermore
You say you'll write to me every day
But I know, I know, I know
I'll see you nevermore
Nevermore

Your missionary zeal
Your desire to heal
The passion that you feel
And I'm too dull and blind
So I am left behind
And I know, I know, I know
I will see you nevermore
Why don't you stay
Why did I let you sail away
I will see you nevermore
You say you'll write to me every day
But I know, I know, I know
I'll see you nevermore
Nevermore

In our hearts we both know that this is true
The savages do not need you
But I do, I do, I do
Do you not need me too
Some day perhaps you'll find you do
And I know, I know, I know
I will see you nevermore
Why don't you stay
Why did I let you sail away
I will see you nevermore
You say you'll write to me every day
But I know, I know, I know
I'll see you nevermore
Nevermore
I'll see you nevermore
Nevermore
Nevermore
I'll see you nevermore
Nevermore

Anphortas Sheffield, UK

Anphortas is the music project of Sheffield based musician, painter, fencing coach and guitar maker Adam Blight. Songs sort of drop out of the air, what to do with all these songs? As I got involved in music making, I sought to make my songs more real and tangible and to get recorded versions that sounded how I could hear them in my mind. Now they seem to sound how I imagined they would. ... more
