CUPBOARDS AND SAND

You hide your mountains from me
I open my ears to investigate
An absent sound that says I’m sorry
To be dragging you down to this empty place

In darker moments you had me
Wishing to be far away
On my own mountain I fancy
Singing you, the blues away

Now that we’ve been resurrected
I’m keeping my fingers, at the ready
For talk and type and tender touch
Still red and raw with tear streaked cheeks
So-

Hold, hold, my little friend and my animal
Feel, feel it’s comfort at my heart beat

I can not be suckered in again
by walls and words that bear no hope at all

I walk now with two feet covered
In socks and laces to break my fall
Bruised and battered lady down the ladder
Me? No more

There’s a hole beneath my bed
But it doesn’t bother me at all
Grey blue rounded staring pigeons
Perched stout on the wall

Now we won’t let the dark things bite us again
Now that we have set each other free
I’ll cook I’ll clean I’ll work I’ll feed us
Never mind what is said about me

So hold, hold dearest we’re all dying
Slow, slow, my happiness I’m trying

Her latest track 'Sleepless' was written between the death of her mother and the death of her first born son. Despite the weight it carries, it is a testament of emotional liberation in the face of adversity. ... more
