Songs
Kris Drever is an award-winning songwriter and self taught master guitarist.
The folk tradition is built upon the sharing of music, songs and stories.
It is important to Kris that this is continued, and so here you’ll find the lyrics (and in some cases a “How To Play” video) for Kris’s songs.
In the dropdown menu, you can filter songs by album and/or band (e.g. Kris Drever/Lau).
Those with an asterisk * include a “How To Play” video.

Wintermoon *
Beyond repair one dismal morning,
redemption waiting in the afternoon,
grey and chill though at the dawning,
I am the lonesome winter moon.
Though the day goes by so quickly,
I am a ruin like the bishops tower,
fielding questions from the sun,
rise and shine late grows the hour.
I make the shadows on your shelf,
I bathe the earth from the night sky,
I get my powers from someone else,
I'm just another middle guy.
