	1.	Shepherd's Delight (It's Not Time To Go To Bed) 04:06	lyrics
	The moon’s a ghost in the blue Not a cloud in sight; the heat is still here too Church bells ring; we all count to eight It’s starting to get late; what to do? The stars come out in the east One by one they blink; the sky’s still pink in the west Wine bottle empty on the grass But we all have a glass, and it’s full And it’s not time to go to bed, not yet, let’s stay up a little while longer And it’s not time to go to bed, not yet, let’s stay up a little while longer The solar lights have come on Twinkling in the tree; it means there’s no more sun Church bells from far across the town Chime in their countdown; one to nine But it’s not time to go to bed, not yet, let’s stay up a little while longer It’s not time to go to bed, not yet, let’s stay up a little while longer Summer won’t be here forever; autumn will creep up on us before we know And let’s make the most of the summer by staying out here And this is twilight now Flower colours dim; they seem larger somehow Ten chimes; or was it eleven? Or even more again? We don’t know. ‘Cause it’s not time to go to bed, not yet, let’s stay up a little while longer And it’s not time to go to bed, not yet, let’s stay up a little while longer And it’s not time to go to bed, not yet, let’s stay up a little while longer And it’s not time to go to bed, not yet, let’s stay up a little while longer.

An Interesting Town - Debut Album

Not just because the very same Jones from Moss & Jones is on keyboards, oh no. It's packed with intelligent lyrics, sumptuous vocals, prodigious guitar and... did I mention the BRILLIANT keyboardist? Moss & Jones

Moss (of Moss & Jones) found this almost by accident on bandcamp and has barely stopped listening to it since. Gorgeous multi-instrument acoustic album with thoughtful lyrics and great singing! Moss & Jones
