No matter how bright the fire burns
Its flame will cast no shadow
No matter how high the eagle flies
The sparrow on its back will touch the sky
And I will never know
How it feels to be with you
How it feels to lie with you
How it feels to die with you
No matter how dark and deep your night
The wheeling sky will shine new light
No matter how far the river runs
It can’t escape the place from whence it comes
And all will be as one
And everything will change
And nothing stays the same
But love still speaks your name
Love still speaks your name
Love still speaks your name

John Drumbo French from Captain Beefheart and The Magic Band worked with Thompson on two albums along with Fred Frith and Henry Kaiser.
Those two French, Frith, Kaiser and Thompson albums led me to this.
Also, Richard Thompson taught Hugh Cornwell (of The Stranglers) how to play the bass guitar in a band when they were both at the same school (Emil and The Detectives?).
With a career spanning 50 years and playing with two of my heroes (French and Cornwell) Thompson has produced a fascinating EP. yellowcakeuf6

There's a similarity in song writing between Richard Thompson and Hugh Cornwell which maybe isn't surprising as they went to the same school at the same time, although Thompson is older.
Due to Thompson's association with John French of Captain Beefheart & The Magic Band I searched for his work on the Bandcamp app. French, Thompson and Cornwell all have albums on the app which I'm very pleased about. Only Thompson has released contemporary albums, much to his credit. yellowcakeuf6
