Cocoon 02:46
Spinning In the still of the room Fine threads Making a cocoon Winter Is coming soon Waiting In a woven womb Changing Into Something New Paper wings folded to fly Taking off into the night Taking off into the night Delicate beautiful life Dancing in a disco sky I’m flying A million dazzling lights Confusion and the will to try Confusion and the will to try Paper wings folded to fly Taking off into the night Taking off into the night
2.
Walking outside Following the clues To where treasure hides Searching for new signs Out of the blue Broken glass shines Everyone we lose Are stars in the night Hold on to the lifeline The riddle leads to A ray of sunlight On the hard climb Everyone we lose Are stars in the night Everyone we lose Are stars in the night
3.
You Know Me 02:21
Remembering you And everything we went through I feel I was lost one dark day And life stole me away I feel You know me And I miss you Sometimes life is small I'm too far for you to hear me call I Feel You know me
4.
Blood 02:25
Our whole lives carried by the flood Pouring down the stairs like blood Our new house is sinking in the mud We can’t leave it’s in our blood All my dreams try to take me back To the place of safety
5.
January 03:12
Outside the trees are waving Our faithful guardians Bye now the light is fading Constant through the night they stand January is contemplating The future is making plans Now that the ice is melting Revealing the land The house is watching Wide awake Eyes unblinking Keeping us safe While up above the town The hills are sleeping And clouds are dreams
6.
The lights are on in the houses Where we retreat A door is opening And a woman is stepping out into the street A door is opening The radio is playing A different kind of beat I want to go out dancing So many people to meet A door is opening
7.
Warrior 03:00
There’s a bird in my room tonight I have heard it will soon take to flight As I lie in my bed With all the world in my head Drifting Out in the garden I am a warrior Heart like a lion With my bow and arrow Treasure is hidden Deep in the hollow of a tree In my mind The dream and the real dance away To the tune of how I feel The swing and the sway Through the corridors in my mind Afraid of what I might find What’s around the corner? Out in the garden I am a warrior Heart like a lion With my bow and arrow Treasure is hidden Deep in the hollow of a tree In my mind
8.
The Runaway 02:38
We're searching for the runaway Shore to shore night and day Blood hounds are on the scent We will find you No matter how far you went We will rescue you Send a sign our way Are you fine today? Detectives are on the trail We will find you This search will not fail We will rescue you
9.
Forget me not for I shall never return Going away in a while To be a wave of sound In the air and all around Carried over the radio Somewhere Sometime Forget me not for I shall never return Going away in a while To be a word in a thought In the mind of someone In a room in a house on a street Somewhere Sometime Forget me not for I shall never return Going away in a while To be a cloud up high In the clear blue sky Cumulus floating Somewhere Sometime

about

"The Scottish multi-instrumentalist's eighth album sits between Cocteau Twins and the Blue Nile, its broad cinematic sweep, folktronic textures, crystalline vocals and lyrics imbued with introspection and memory-lane inventory-taking yielding moments of breathtaking beauty." Dan Cairns, The Sunday Times

"A uniquely touching haunting reverie on that strange year of multiple lockdowns. There's a lovely balance of warmth and starkness in this music. Cocoon is an album to retreat into during hard times." Charles Donovan, Rock N Reel (four star review)
