about

I really love this song. I first heard it on a compilation CD that my sister made me. I was playing in a band called The Bearfield Commune (so called because we rehearsed at Bearfield Church in Bradford-on-Avon) at the time this album was made and we played this song live. (See: youtu.be/GhOKaiKWBos) I recorded it for 'The First Snow' with two of my friends from the band: Amy Jarvis on vocals and Helen Bousfield on bass. It's Amy's harmony vocals that make the recording special.

lyrics

Dancin' where the stars go blue
Dancin' where the evening fell
Dancin' in your wooden shoes
In a wedding gown

Dancin' out on 7th street
Dancin' through the underground
Dancin' little marionette
Are you happy now?

Where do you go when you're lonely
Where do you go when you're blue
Where do you go when you're lonely
I'll follow you
When the stars go blue

Laughing with your pretty mouth
Laughing with your broken eyes
Laughing with your lover's tongue
In a lullaby

Where do you go when you're lonely
Where do you go when you're blue
Where do you go when you're lonely
I'll follow you
When the stars go blue
