Lyrics

the new leaves are spreading out.
the old ones are getting round.
break of day, before you wake,
eggs rock in their nests
and night creatures, they undress.
break of day, before you and i wake.

a cold shape curled in the grass.
a mother who’s lost her last.
ancient pain, old as the rain.

the roots lace into the ground,
clinging onto the home they found.
we’re begging to stay,
but time won’t wait.
so sinewy trunks slide upward
and fleshy pink petals proffer:
sink your ache into my ache.
