Another love story, this time it has a smoky-jazz feel thanks to electric piano, tremolo guitar and Duncan Parson's wonderful drumming.
lyrics
I Take Your Hand
The Solway Firth
The Steamboat in
Far from the bar
Where Angel's begin
We share a meal
A drink or two
Then walk the beach
To share the view
Chorus:
The windswept shore
Your deep blue gaze
I'm on one knee
You seem amazed
I take your hand
And place the ring
I want you more
Than anything
The bar is ours
The curtains closed
A brand new toast
To be proposed
To you and I
Who are engaged
This book of love
Has a new page
Chorus:-
We bid farewell
To this fine place
Our northward steps
We must retrace
Returning back
To Stonehouse, home
And some day soon
From there to roam
Final Chorus:
Another shore
The deep blue sea
A foreign land
Still you and me
I take your hand
And softly sing
You to me are everything

I didn't think I would like this record but it's so infectious in its ability to change from prog to post rock then to psychedelic and onwards into alternative metal. Such an amazing feat to introduce the saxophone and it sounds so cool, this record is outstanding. Darknight
