Biography:
Karine Polwart (born 1971) is a Scottish singer-songwriter. She writes and performs music with a strong folk and roots feel, and her songs cover a wide area, from alcoholism to genocide.
Despite winning the Horizon Award for Best Newcomer at the BBC Folk Awards 2005, Karine Polwart is no newcomer to the folk world, having previously been a member of Malinky and Battlefield Band. Her solo career is new, and it is for this that she has been particularly recognised.

C G
You’re a beautiful trace
Am
Of time and space
F
You’re a thing that once shone
C G
And you still shine bright
Am
In the darkest night
F
Though you’re already gone
C G
You have travelled so far
Am
My terminal star
F
In your coat so red
C G
But I still don’t know how
Am
I can watch a thing now
F
When it’s already dead
C
When it’s already dead
G Am F
C G
Just to reach my eyes
Am
You traverse the skies
F
For a hundred million years
C G
I behold your power
Am
In this waukrife hour
F
Just before it disappears
C G
All the stories in stones
Am
And in beakers and bones
F
All the salt in the sea
C G
Are eclipsed by the might
Am
Of your fading light
F
You’re dying so beautifully
C
So beautifully
