about

The first song from the forthcoming album 'brother songs' to be released through Hawk Moth Records

lyrics

I went down to the mouth of the river
And she brought our lips together
Filled me with her salt water and longing

I asked the river won't you please hold my hand
Untouched by beast or by man
I gathered my friends all around me
My brothers, my sisters and me...

What would I do?
What would I do?

I long to be in the arms of the river
Sleep with you all through the winter
And wake from this dream full-feathered a swan

But my dreams lay face-down in the water
The reflections have all disappeared
I'd lost all I held around me
My brothers, my sisters and me.

What would I do?
What would I do?
