lyrics

Of mountain stones taste the water
In the river bed
Flowing clear across the border
Turning brown to match the land

I held you under my foot
I couldn’t see you apart from nail and tooth

I’m floating to the sea now
And you’re there by my side
Our bodies bending with the current
Rising falling with the tide

I saw you tender and it turned me
A different cast of light wiped the pastways clean

Fish rush up to the surface
To make contact with the air
There’s a gulf between the movement
And the ripples how they spread

I’m going away and I’m asking the sea
Please have mercy on these walls
This slow retreat
