The song Cressida is performed by Richard Thompson in the album named Front Parlour Ballads in the year 2005 .
Love that holds its breath for fear
Of scaring love away
I rush my lines, I care too deeply
Oh, will she keep me for idle games?
I raise my eyes to see her there
Shining in a daydream
I raise my eyes, I see too much
I know her touch, what her touch would mean
I stare into, I stare into
The dying flames
