Damaris is a song about something that really did happen. Or, well, a legend, at the least. I started this video before Damaris was released as Patrick's new single but jsut so you know, he has released a beautiful video to go with the song (it is on my YT page). My video has a few changes jsut because it happened that way. In mine, they were either engaged or... engaged-to-be-engaged. And Damaris was probably just killed by his father in mine. Or something, I dunno. He dies in the end, too.
Lewis is Kajad.
Damars is Rinoa.
Read up on the facts to understand the video.
From patrickwolf.com:
"Tracing the roots of his father under the family name Apps back to a family of ferret-catchers and blacksmiths in Brede, East Sussex, Patrick stumbled across a small wooden cross engraved with the name Damaris among the gravestones of his ancestors
From that moment, Patrick began to research who Damaris might be, and it came about that the wooden cross told a larger tale than anyone could have imagined. It is still unsure whether Damaris was a gypsy or a heathen, but she belonged outside of the Catholic church, who in 1880, held a very strict reign over romance and passion in such a small village. Damaris was most certainly not from the Catholic church, so when she fell in love with Lewis, the son of the Parish priest, she was denied of ever being united in marriage with him.
Patrick writes the song from the perspective of Lewis after discovering that Damaris has died of a broken heart, which, in the 19th Century was a polite term for either suicide, or a romantic notion that someone can be so heartbroken that they give up on life. The song is a musical iconisation of a true life Romeo and Juliet from Sussex. Two star-crossed lovers who were destined to be together, but were denied, due to the repression and sign of the times."

Black rain
Floods the downs
Ferrets burrow
Moles make mound
Round your bones
Deep underground
But nobody knows
Nobody knows
How I wait for you
Summer, Spring
Autumn, Winter
Here perishing
Gypsy, stray
Bleak orphan
No one could say
The land you came from
But deep in my arms
You belonged
But nobody knows
No body knows
How I wait for you
Summer, Spring
Autumn, Winter
Here perishing
My god damned
Damaris
Killed with last kiss
God damned
Damaris
I loved you
Goddam these tears
And this religion
Thought I was more
Than just my fathers son
Who says in limbo
Be where youve gone
But nobody knows
No body knows
How I wait for you
Summer, Spring
Autumn, Winter
Here perishing
My god damned
Damaris
Killed with last kiss
God damned
Damaris
I loved you
And now I kiss
I kiss the earth
Oh rise up
Rise up
Rise up
Now
From the earth
And I smash my fist
Into the earth
Oh rise up
Rise up
Rise up
Now
From the earth
I loved you
Black rain
Floods the downs
The black rain
Black rain
