Dot Allison’s new album, ‘Heart-shaped Scars‘, is her first in over a decade and finds her on a haunted folk path. The new album is out on July 30th, but you can hear the first single right here and right now. It’ll come as no surprise that Dot Allison acknowledges the influence of the sound track of ‘The Wickerman‘, as ‘Long Exposure‘ would be a perfect ethereal taunt for Edward Woodward. Just to add to that imagery, Dot Allison first sang it live at a folk house-concert on the Hebridean island where she has a cottage.
I didn’t think you’d lie to me
My love for you it was pure
Like glitter on snow
I cannot quite believe the deceit
What a fool love brings...
I held your memory high, encased in glass
Nothing could shatter or tarnish your sacred remains
But you came with your wrecking ball at last
What a fool I have been...
‘Cos I called through the trees
I called from the beach
I waited for you
Crying from all cliffs
and the photograph
That I held in my mind
Had a long exposure
Long exposure
To the truth
So I commit rare love to ink
That very night saw my letter dropped onto her fire
How could you turn so easily?
What a fool love brings...
For I called through the trees
I called from the beach
I waited for you
Crying from all cliffs
and the photograph
That I held in my mind
What a long exposure
Long exposure
To the truth
Orchards of cherries lie bruised on the ground
Bitten, discarded in grief all around
You settle for such easy fruit
What a fool that love brings…
For you’ve called through the trees
You called from the beach
You’ve been looking for me
Crying from all cliffs
and the photograph
That you held in your hand
Had a long exposure
But here I am, here I am, waiting
Here I am, here I am, waiting…
And that photograph of you
It’s fading in the sunlight
and that photograph of you
It’s fading in the sunlight…
