The Sun Goes On Rising (The St Buryan Sessions) - Single

by Sarah McQuaid

/
1.
I hear the wolf at the door I’ve seen his face before He’s hungry and I’m tired Can’t keep him out much more Through a chink in the blind I watch him pace a line Better step back from the window He’s only biding his time Spring follows winter Sun follows shower Things will get better If only I can hold that wolf at bay Drive him away Cos the sun goes on rising every day I’m keeping the faith I’m still in the race I’m marking down the time Till I can get to a better place Spring follows winter Sun follows shower Things will get better If only I can hold that wolf at bay Drive him away Cos the sun goes on rising every day Seagulls fly in cloudy skies Morning comes and amber turns to grey Cos the sun goes on rising every day And the time will come when I don’t feel this way Seagulls fly in cloudy skies Morning comes and amber turns to grey The sun goes on rising every day

The St Buryan Sessions were filmed and recorded live (with no audience due to COVID-19) on 1 July 2020 in the beautiful church of St Buryan, Cornwall, parts of which date back to the 11th century. The idea was to recreate the energy, heart, soul and magic of a live performance in a quality production that would stand the test of time.

Thanks to the generosity of the 184 individuals who contributed to my crowdfunding campaign, to Canon Vanda Perrett and the St Buryan Parish Council, to the immense skill of the team I had the privilege of working with, and most of all to the church itself, whose glorious natural acoustic we captured with the help of ambient microphones placed around the soaring space – I believe I’ve achieved that aim. I hope you think so, too.
