Heron's Nest Lyrics

I just want to take you in the ocean

Naked and lay with our backs in the sea

See you balance in the shallows

Smiling like a child

Effervescent like the vapour found a mouth-piece for the wild

And rest you in the water like a stone

Frigid and light like your soul

When I sing you into me like a breath

And move with the tide

As we push into the deep

You tell me

Angel hair threaded in rivers of light

Columns of heaven raining on time

Wilted from the dry spell

Exhausted from the climb

Mouth dry my words are like sand

And you're the water in my hand

Who am I to opine that the rivers of time

Have thwarted me with heckles

When they cover me clean?

At the start I'd have given everything

Just to be where I am as I sing

What fabric did you barter?

I mean what bargain were you offered?

I mean how did you come to me?

What silk of a gown?

What chalk of a crown?

What body in the morning from the pavement depletes?

What dream?

Fragile fawn and innocent rose

Darting kisses on each other's cheeks

Is this slumber rest?

My heron's nest

A peck and a peck for the weak

It can all be so beautifully bleak

It can all be so beautifully bleak

It can all be so beautifully bleak
