about

No More - featuring Nigel Parry
from his album Tales of Common Folk, Salt & Sweet Kisses
nigelparry.bandcamp.com/album/tales-of-common-folk-salt-sweet-kisses

No More is a single track released here by Helen Dorothy which features as the final song on New Zealand folk artist Nigel Parry's second album, released in April 2022. Accompanied by the Americana-meets-Celtic sounds of Tony Burt and Karen Jones (aka Across the Great Divide) the duet represents coming to terms with leaving behind the old world.

lyrics

No More
© Helen Dorothy (2014)

Come on a journey to your green and pleasant land
This is your birthplace and I’ll greet you with an open hand
No more you and me
You smother me in a cold grey mist and I just can’t breathe

Come and be filled with London pride
And under the ground we’ll rattle home to your suburbia-side
No more you and me
To be shunted around like stock at the market, that’s not for me

Come and explore the lanes that lead to another age
Taste the seasons, winter crisp, a summer’s haze
No more you and me
You’re taunting me with your country life and ancient history

Let’s find familiar faces and the old habits we saved
Blood-laughter moments to take to our distant graves
No more you and me
To only see them in my darker hours, it’s no good for me

I said, no more you and me
You smother me in a cold grey mist and I just can’t breathe
I mean no more you and me
To be shunted around like stock at the market, that’s not for me
No more you and me
You’ve been taunting me with your country life and your ancient history
No more you and me
To only share with you my darker hours, that’s no good
It’s no good for me
