about

A song about migratory shorebirds and their long journeys.

lyrics

Car lights coming home
Down the coast
Dry sand in your eyes and I am home from this flight

In this city near the coastline
Halfway station
Train ticket still valid and I am home

Leave your past behind
Float like light

Shorebirds fly in
On their white wings
Grey sails catch the wind go hunting

Join the dots
Migration lines
These hearts these beats for you and for me darling

Conversation draws you in
So you can only go this way forward home

I hope you read my love letters to the future
I hope they reach you, permanent tattoos
Migration paths, hunting, home.
Written down on the earth as in the sky

Shorebirds fly in
On their white wings
Grey sails catch the wind and I am home from this flight
