    These are very special high resolution prints on Hahnemuele PhotoRag 308gsm paper. Individually printed to order and include a free digital download of the album.

    This incredible album artwork is by my friend, Afsoon Shahriari, who is a female artist living in Iran. All proceeds will go to Afsoon. She is living in incredibly difficult conditions, both as a woman in Iran dealing with their oppressive regime and as an artist coping with heavy American sanctions that restrict sales of her incredible work out of the country.

    These are printed especially to order so there will be around a 7 day turnaround to posting. I will ensure they are carefully packaged.

lyrics

for all on this tide
the ocean sighs
in grey ocean light
hear him call

all of his touch
and all of his kiss
is all that he owns
all that he owns

when the night wind comes
the yearn of king tide
in whispers the waves will call
salt weep to your eyes
and they’ll drown out your cries

there’s no sea witch
who’ll stand on the shore
so dark is the land
wind call, cruel storm

his charm on the sand
a bride in his hand
as the last good day goes
watch over the dawn

when the night wind blows
the yearn of king tide
in whispers the waves will call
salt weep to your eyes
and they’ll drown out your cries

call on the ocean bride
only reason is tithe
he has no rite
this time
