"Damaris" appears on "The Bachelor", the fourth studio album by English-Irish singer-songwriter Patrick Wolf. It was released as the third single from the album on 14 December 2009.
The song is semi-autobiographical and centres on the loss of love It was also inspired by a tale discovered by Wolf when he went to seek out his English roots after a period of heartbreak and the ending of a relationship that was documented in the song The Magic Position.
Tracing the roots of his father under the family name Apps back to a family of ferret-catchers and blacksmiths in Brede, East Sussex, Wolf stumbled across a small wooden cross engraved with the name 'Damaris' among the gravestones of his ancestors.
The church organ on the song, played by Wolf and the drums by Marcello Vig were both recorded in 2008 on location in St. George's Church.
The lyrics indicate nothing whatsoever to do with the woman mentioned in the book of Acts in the Bible.
