about

The third original song performed by Freda Leask as part of a project produced by the multi-talented 'Lau' combo of Kris Drever and Tim Matthew.
This song is a co-write with Gina Paola Ritch, who also comes from the Shetland islands.
An acoustic, country number thinking about paths through life, the judgement and reputation so often gained and given and how wrong we can be.
An official video for this track, filmed by John Rollo, can be seen on my YouTube Channel via the link on this page, Why not take a look?If you like my work please subscribe, it would be lovely to see you there.

lyrics

Another Coat Of Black © Freda Leask & Gina Paola Ritch

Took his place behind me
Travellin' time
I was alone, he was with you
Now I don't know where to hide
The sea shone all around me
Waves beat hard on the shore
Sunlight broke through silence
Another coat of black was what I wore

Took his place between them
Borrowin' time
A cold whisper, a cold, cold call
Now I don't know how to cry
The world breathed on around me
Heart beats out of tune
Wears another coat of black
Underneath a coat of blue

It's a heart of coal that's turning
Black, dark and cold
But a heart of coal when it's burning
Is brighter than a heart of gold

Took his place before me
Playin' for time
Painting oceans with colours he'd stolen
From a sunset of mine
With every heart beat spoken, before the broken light
Wears another coat of black
Underneath the veil of night

Took his place behind me, travellin' time
