I will follow you down Follow you down into your darkness I will help you to shine Help you to shine into your darkness So I can see you more clearly So I can see you entirely I will see through your eyes See through your eyes into your broken heart And I wont let you hide Let you disguise even a single part So I can love you more deeply So I can love you entirely And all that you are And all you will be And I will love you Entirely I will follow you down Follow you down into your darkness I will help you to shine Help you to shine into your darkness So I can see you more clearly So I can love you entirely

Making Sense 03:23
I’m trying to I’m trying to Trying to understand you What you say To my face It’s different from what you say When I’m not at your place Am I making sense Am I making sense Am I making sense The skin and bone You call your own All the love you've lost and never shown The clever lies To hide the scars Well I know your history I know Who you are Am I making sense Am I making sense Am I making sense You’re so hard honey You’re so hard honey You’re so hard to talk to You’re so hard to talk to You’re so hard to talk to

I’ve got no more courage left inside me To deal with everything that’s coming out I’ve got no more places left to hide me And now I have to feel what its about And oh my little darling I wish that I could hold you close to me And oh my little darling I need to find another way to be I can see my mirrored walls are falling And I know that you see deep inside of me You see where all my shadows go for hiding And something in you longs to set them free

Won't you stand still with me We'll get out of this city We'll live our lives they're meant to be Breathe in the clean air Oh, but you know my old car It just wont get us very far Just out of Hackney up to Gospel Oak is all im hoping for So lets go up onto the Heath Watch the city crawl beneath our feet Try to beat these blues away Oh, well won't you come away Cos the world looks good today Lie on our backs and watch the world rush by We're high in a blue sky And I'll tell you what i know Of the city down below Of all the people here in London Town Well im so glad i found you Oh, let's go up onto the Heath Watch the city crawl beneath our feet And try to beat these blues away And pretend the world is perfect for today When the lights begin to fade We will slowly make our way Through the ancient trees of Hampstead Heath While the moon does creep And the city sleeps We'll be up upon the Heath Watching the city crawl beneath our feet And we will beat these blues away, yeah And we'll know the world is perfect And everything was worth it Yes, we'll know the world is perfect for today.

ou scorn my natural emotion, you make me feel like dirt and it hurts But if I start a commotion I’ll only end up losing you and that’s worse Ever fallen in love with someone Ever fallen in love with someone Ever fallen in love with someone you shouldn’t have fallen in love with Can’t see much for the future unless we find out who’s to blame, what a shame And we won’t be together much longer unless we realise we're the same Ever fallen in love with someone Ever fallen in love with someone Ever fallen in love with someone you shouldn’t have fallen in love with

I’m glad you’re back I’m glad you’re here No you don’t have to go Just hold my hand And take me down Think I can go there now oh When you first came here So full of fear I couldn’t let you in Thought that I Might disappear If I saw what you’d seen oh And all in a dream I couldn’t see you And all in a dream I couldn’t hear you scream But I’m glad you’re back I’m glad you’re here No you don’t have to go Just take me down Show me around I’d really like to know What hurt you so And I’m so sorry That I left you there But I’m so glad you’re back

The Blacksmith’s girl went out with a rifle And a black dog running behind her Cobwebs snatched all at her feet And thorn branches caught at her eyes Only to make her blind And the sky Oh the sky The sky yeah the sky Turned into an unlucky opal Turned into an unlucky opal But she didn’t mind I can break any branches And I can dodge any rocks And I can shoot an old crow any day Said she to her dog and her rifle Said she to her dog and her rifle The Blacksmith’s girl went over the paddock With her old black hat on her head And the old crow cried You’ll soon be dead and the rain came down like mattocks Oh the rain came down like mattocks But she only said I can climb any mountain And I can swim any sea And I can shoot an old crow any day And she went on over the paddock Oh went on over the paddock And when she came to the end of the day The night began a falling Up it came like the barrel of a gun Ready for the girl to swallow Oh ready for the girl to swallow But in front of all the night The rainbow stood upon the mountain And the rainbow shone as brightly as the sun Just as her heart foretold her Oh just as her heart foretold her And she ran like a hare And she climbed like a fox And she caught it in the palm of her hand Like a bar of ice Like a ring of gold Like the column of a fountain pure And she came back down from the mountain Oh came back down from the mountain The Blacksmith’s girl Hung the rainbow on her shoulder Instead of her broken gun And all the world said no one is bolder To do what she has done Oh do what she has done Oh see what the Blacksmith’s girl has done!

Standing in the room Trying to breathe Hoping it'll pass Trying not to scream It’s taken me away To another place Can’t remember names I can’t see your face la la la la la la la la la la la la la I was angry thing When I pushed it in Crawled into my heart Covered up my skin Too afraid to laugh Too afraid to cry Too afraid to live Too afraid too die la la la la la la la la la la la la la....

I saw you with her yesterday She’s beautiful all smiles and waves You were both looking so fine Shoulda stopped and said hello but I Couldn’t let this feeling grow Envy likes to watch from the side And I can’t remember feeling This cut up about Anything What are you doing without me In a life you made up Now you’re one of the beautiful people I can’t touch I can’t touch So I just watched you walking by And I thought about the reasons why You let me fall behind And I try to make myself believe That you never meant that much to me but Every single word is a lie And I cant remember wanting Anybody quite like I want you What are you doing without me In a life you made up Now you’re one of the beautiful people I can’t touch I can’t touch

So I Begin 03:12
Guess what turns out I’m not that strong Been out too far Been down too long And I feel like I’m falling down And I feel like I have no ground I pace the floor The long night through I’m waiting for the sky To turn blue And I used to see the good in everything And I used to see the love in everyone And I know I have to get back to that place And I know it’s just myself I have to face So I begin by breathing out So I begin by breathing in

Ghosts 03:50
Don’t know how this all got broken Trying to figure out where I’m going Without you Don’t wanna fight no more We'll just wake up the baby Slam the door my anger is fading Or maybe it’s because I filed my love Way down at the bottom of A pile of stuff I don’t wanna open there’s just Too many ghosts to let out I’ve got a picture of you Behind my eyes Holding our girl in your arms like a prize In a little red dress The apple of your eyes Oh But I filed my love Way down at the bottom of A pile of stuff I don’t wanna open there’s just Too many ghosts Too many ghosts oh when you comin’ home? when you comin’ home when you comin’ home when you comin’ home Cos’ I filed my love Way down at the bottom of A pile of stuff I don’t wanna open there’s just Too many ghosts Too many ghosts

It’s comin’ on Christmas They're cutting down trees They're puttin’ up reindeer And singing songs of joy and peace I wish I had a river I could skate away on But it don’t snow here It stays pretty green I’m gonna make a lot of money And I’m gonna quit this crazy scene I wish i had a river I could skate away on Oh and I wish I had a river so long I would teach my feet to fly Oh and I wish I had a river I could skate away on He tried hard to help me you know He put me at ease And he loved me so naughty He made me weak in the knees I wish I had a river I could skate away on I’m so hard to handle You know I’m selfish and I’m sad Now I’ve gone and lost the best baby I ever had I wish I had a river I could skate away on I wish I had a river so long I would teach my feet to fly I wish I had a river I could skate away on

about

Sadie’s magical, eloquently confessional songs are all about coming to terms with her extraordinary and often traumatic past. Many of them delve deep into her own sub-conscious and like the best songs of Joni Mitchell, they’re far more than pages torn from a private diary.

Sadie’s debut album THE BLACKSMITH'S GIRL was produced by Steve Lee, mixed and co-produced by David Bianco (Bob Dylan/Del Amitri/Tom Petty) and mastered in London by Kevin Metcalfe (Queen/David Bowie/Kinks/Oasis).
