I have seen the skyline shift as I've grown older
Let the future be a gift as it grows bolder
My roots grow deeper,
Secret keeper
Kate Rusby is a folk singer from near Barnsley who has released a number of wonderful albums, and has an instantly recognisable voice.
I have seen her playing live several times, most recently in Norfolk, with the wonderful Andy Cutting in her band.
What I like about the track is that it is told from the perspective of a tree into which a couple carve their initials when they are young... and the tree keeps their secret through their life.
It's a reminder of the different time scales of trees compared to humans.
