Until I'm Asleep

from State Of The Art by Martha Bean

about

The third track from the EP, 'State Of The Art'

lyrics

No-one knows it so well
The silence in living under its’ spell
How treacherous and hostile, yet fragrant in scent
There’s no hope avoiding once you give your consent, so

(Chorus)
I’ll be fine, drinking my tea
With four brick walls, who needs company?
I’ll sing, sing to myself until I’m asleep

It’s warm outside, and I still breathe
To choose to smile, or choose to seethe
I’ll wait to see what might be my fate
You close the door, it opens the gate

When time moves on, and turns his eye
He leaves with but a weary sigh
For you make your bed on which you lie
I’ll lie by mine, and sing ‘till I die

(Chorus)

(Instrumental)

(Chorus x2)

about

Martha Bean Leicester, UK

Songs are ‘full of charm, delicateness, and pure, unadulterated loveliness’**, veering from enigmatic and sobering, to the brooding razor-sharp.

Recently played on BBC 6Music and supporting the likes of Marika Hackman, Scott Matthews and Seth Lakeman, Martha has a world-class voice well worth keeping your ears open for.
