Where's there's smoke there is a fire
but not always
Where's there's love there is desire
but not always
Where there's truth there is a liar
but not always
when you're old you can retire
but not always
this game of fate it still tortures
there are no cards left in this deck to win this hand
and the buildings down below are still haunting me
as the sky turns bitter grey to crimson red
what you see is what transpires
but not always
a half truth trail we desire
but not always
so wall our hearts as fortifiers
but not always
and take from life what it inspires
but not always
The second EP from Northern Irish singer-songwriter Bea Stewart runs from gentle folk to pillowy pop ballads, all perfectly executed. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 15, 2024
