Inevitable, how inevitable
How patterns come around
How light comes before sound
Irrevertable the rolling ball will fall
Inevitable impenetrable wall
Pray what can I do what can I do with you
But cut it from your hair
The lion in your stare
I love you like I do x 4
Inevitable how inevitable
Drawn towards your light your oh so holy tights
Your silken silver tongue
I'm face down I’m undone
January bind
Be resolute, be kind
Broken open
Open ocean holding all
We are all x 3
Broken open open motion
Holding all
We are whole x3
Centrifugal pull
The sea is never full
Don't tell me what I know we have to let this go
Just press me to the floor and kiss me just once more
I reach toward the sun x 2
My wings become undone
I reach toward x 3

Untrimmable Light
I walk till I meet the sea
I was a bird until I was me
I was a bird, salty and free
The line it is blurred between the sky and the sea
The line it is blurred, between the bird and me
Where the sea meets the sky
Where your opening hand reaches mine
Will we entwine and be weathered by time
Or witness our holy design
The Untrimmable Light we enshrine
I'll walk till my wings return
Feel the heat from the sand on my feet gently burn
Hold me my love
And help me discern
My heart flies above while my head tries to learn.
Hold me my love for this ground is not firm
Hold me my love while I beat and I yearn
For what was above
To someday return
And find I'm enough
Where the sea meets the sky
Where your opening hand reaches mine
Will we entwine and be weathered by time
Or witness our holy design
The Untrimmable Light we enshrine

Butterfly
You landed on my shoulder
Your wings were stuck
Humble monarch leaning
Into my touch
My breaking heart
Your shaking touch
When you fly across the trees
You remind me I can lean into this love is like mycelium
And I am just a part of it
And I am learning how to give
Porous body
Land I am ready
Softly behead me
Deeply embed bed me
You plant me deeply
Deep down in love
Deep down in love
Deep down in love
You landed on my shoulder
Your wings were stuck
Humble monarch leaning
Into my touch
My breaking heart
Your shaking touch
When you fly across the trees
You remind me I can lean into this love is like mycelium
And I am just a part of it
And I am learning how to give
Late night
Owl cry
Cut through the tangle of my mind
Moonshine
Hillside
I am the love I long to find
You plant me deeply
Deep down in love
Deep down in love
Deep down in love

Nothing is Lost

I am a planet I move round the sun
You are the moon we’ve been moving in circles so long
No nothing remains
But nothing is lost
All of the intricate beauty that falls with the frost
But nothing is lost
You sung like a sparrow
You light up the room
You spun me in circles till everything blurred except you
No nothing remains
But nothing is lost
All of the intricate beauty that falls with the frost
But nothing is lost
Just like a comet you burnt through my skies
Loved me so bright me burnt up before we’d learnt to fly
No nothing remains
But nothing is lost
All of the intricate beauty that falls with the frost
But nothing is lost

There is a beauty
To the fading light
All that was bright my love
All that was bright
All that we are

I am wrapped in your wings
And the arms of our tree
You move like water inside of me
You dark hair is framed by the light through the tree
This feels holy
This feels holy
I am of the earth
I am of my birth
I am blood I am grit
With my thighs around your hips
I am the waves crashing cliffs
I am tectonic shifts
Soft as the dew I am falling
Two voices arise in the beating of wings
You move towards me like the coming of spring
1000 more voices rejoice as we sing
This feels holy
This feels holy
I am of the earth
I am of my birth
I am blood I am grit
With my thighs around your hips
I am the waves crashing cliffs
I am tectonic shifts
Soft as the dew I am falling
I am falling
Into widening rings
I’m loosing my edge I am falling
Oh lord give me wings
I jumped of the edge
I’m transforming
I breaking apart
Atoms collide
Will you fall in
Two bodies breathing
Two bodies lye
As naked as children we look to the sky
How can a tender, fragile life
Hold what's holy
Hold me
We are holy
Hold me
We are holy
Hold me

Down by her water a shrine I adorn
Proffer my body though weary and worn
Her waters receive me again I’m reborn
Ide were were nita ochun
Ide were were
Ide were were nita ochun
Ide were were nita ya
Light is the line where her body meets mine
Kiss and caressing the land for all time
Envelop me into your formless design
Ide were were nita ochun
Ide were were
Ide were were nita ochun
Ide were were nita ya

The Moon

The moon moves away at the speed that the ferritin forms at the end of your toes
My grandmothers grandmas were fishes
The ocean is all that she could ever know
Daughter of sea
Grandmother tell me
Did you long for the land
What old song drew you up from the deep
Where can we go?
Where could we go?
Fins into fingers we’re scraping the sky as we go
Or is it all here after all
Or is it just here after all
Before the explosion that put into motion
The whole of whatever could be
All that there is, it existed at one single point, one singularity.
Our mum sung our songs, dad taught us we belong
As they named our whole world into form
We broke and remade them
Made pictures in autumn the leaves pressed and loosely stuck on

Sun to the Bird
02:37
|

|
Somebody had painted the hospital benches
Colour against the colour of grey
You were inside and we were both waiting
For doctors to tell you if you'd be ok
Come trouble teach me trust
13 billion lightyears of dust
Found a way to be us
In Harry's bed floating on oceans of codeine
We could have stayed watching those coloured cartoons
But pandora couldn't help it either
Opening boxes is easy to do
God was alone when she sung the first word
With a longing that calls the sun to the bird
A morning that spilt into all we allowed
I love you then and i love you now
Come trouble teach me trust
13 billion lightyears of dust
Won’t end with us

Promise of Light
04:30
|

|
Its quiet now your gone
I open the window at night to hear the wind through the trees
Before the winter came
You climbed all the way to the roof just to bring that bird down
Her feet had got bound up in plastic and aerial and she was hung upside down
She looked like Jesus Christ
With her wings open wide and still
As the morning we rise
Plastic bind did we die for her sins
As the new day begins and you reach for the sky
In the promise of light
We all find a way
In the heart of the night is the start of the day
I can't find the words to forgive you and stay
But the truth is my love you still shine
And my heart is a crack you still shine though
The winter lost her bite
And snowdrops are lining the path like the light round a cloud
Hope, rejoice the sound
The ground reaching up to the light in the white of her wings
When I heard the bird sing and knew you were gone
We broke into spring
In the promise of light
We all find a way
In the heart of the night is the start of the day
I can't find the words to forgive you and stay
But the truth is my love you still shine
And my heart is a crack you still shine though
