Lyrics

When I was a young girl,
I used to spend my whole time
skipping, skipping rope.
Now I'm a bit older,
I just get tangled in the
skipping, skipping rope.

How did I do it?
How did I know how to skip?
How did I do it?
How did I know how not to trip?

Slipping through time
Down undefined lines
Consequences and signs
pass my blinking eyes

But time's just a construct
of my mind, of my mind.
Time's just a construct
of my mind, and I don't want
to be defined.

Bristol-based psychfolk trio Hands of the Heron is a collaboration between Bec Garthwaite, Beth Roberts & Claire Vine, each of whom brings a signature songwriting style to the band. Moving effortlessly between sparse choral folk and shimmering instrumental textures, their interlocking vocal harmonies are a constant thread running through the various hues of their dreamlike, mercurial songs.
