lyrics
I saw you again last night.
I’ll relate what I remember:
The wind was rough as we
Ascended a steep and winding street
Full of old houses with faces
Peering from two(-)story windows.
You were dressed in read and black
And at the top of the street
I could see by your silhouette you were cold.
You turned and put your head on my shoulder.
For the first time.
But I don’t remember where they went,
Those faces on the street,
As we slowly turned toward the undulating sea,
To our left and paused;
In the shelter of the moment
You were
Holding me.
For the last time.
Our bodies were pressed warmly together
When something caused me to whisper,
Loud enough for you to hear—
An unguarded moment.
For the first time
I was able to bring myself
To say what I’d felt for you, and
Although it was ill-advised,
Innocence, beauty, repression
Forced this confession.
“What did you say?” you sadly said, although you knew.
For the last time
I didn’t hesitate.
We were on the ground, you were in my arms
My face against your cheek, your hair deep within my lungs.
As I whispered it again.
And again.
Over…
I’ll relate what I remember:
The wind was rough as we
Ascended a steep and winding street
Full of old houses with faces
Peering from two(-)story windows.
You were dressed in read and black
And at the top of the street
I could see by your silhouette you were cold.
You turned and put your head on my shoulder.
For the first time.
But I don’t remember where they went,
Those faces on the street,
As we slowly turned toward the undulating sea,
To our left and paused;
In the shelter of the moment
You were
Holding me.
For the last time.
Our bodies were pressed warmly together
When something caused me to whisper,
Loud enough for you to hear—
An unguarded moment.
For the first time
I was able to bring myself
To say what I’d felt for you, and
Although it was ill-advised,
Innocence, beauty, repression
Forced this confession.
“What did you say?” you sadly said, although you knew.
For the last time
I didn’t hesitate.
We were on the ground, you were in my arms
My face against your cheek, your hair deep within my lungs.
As I whispered it again.
And again.
Over…

moody soundscapes from this excellent group that successfully mines the thoughtful melancholy of bands like Katatonia, Porcupine Tree and Riverside but with their own unique spin including great use of violin and acoustic guitars to really add drama to their music." – ProgMetalZone

Stumbled upon this gem by accident. The band itself has been recommended to me by a friend many moons ago. So damn catchy.

Allow me to copy Pagan Altar's third album title to describe not only III:Pentecost but the whole discography of Wytch Hazel so far: well, yes, it's Magical and Mythical!!! A must-have for the lovers of 70's hard sound revival.
