Here are the lyrics from a new track - Thing - for my Twitter friend Hubert.

A crack in a mirror, a fault in the sky

A strange sense of difference in the air

And something creeping by caught my eye

A glow in the darkness, a movement without sound

One touch, and nothing’s the same

You really shouldn’t let it come near

It’s not from here

From somewhere dark and old

It made my hair stand on end

It touched me, turned me cold

And now I wander, alone in the night

A thing, not a man, from the dark

If only someone had turned me away

I limp through the woodland, I creep on the moors

I wait for redemption which never arrives

You really shouldn’t let me come near

I’m not from here

From somewhere dark and old

I’ll make your hair stand on end

I’ll touch you, turn you cold
