lyrics
check the waters that erode a steady will, my course to throw
send the sun Lord I asked of thee
send the sun send it high for some heat
I burnt the backs of my whip-worn knees and I stumbled many days
every step I go
you are with me, friend and fire both
stay the chaos on the borders ever near and pressing in
there’s no keeping at a distance what you will use for your ends
send the rain I did raise the sky
send the rain, I am caked and I am dry
I could not swim but I did not die though the waters round me rose
every step I go
you are with me, friend and fire both
every breath I know

"Quite apart from that this album is extraordinary on its
own merits there are few artists willing to expose their talents to such a sparse instrumental background, and you need to listen to it and discover its beauty for yourself."

The Pivot On Which The World Turns (2022)
by Polly Paulusmasupported by 4 fans who also own “Friend & Fire”
Came here by accident and feel like I have found a secret, made a very special friend. Making the everyday seem extraordinary, this record has blown me away. Some songs I get no further than a verse in and I'm filled with tears but with no idea why. Such a wonderful thing. Thank you for making it. X
