lyrics

I'm living off the water, rising moon has come
Don't know the words for where I'm going or where I'm from
The world was here first before all these words
with our oldest demon: the abyss staring back
I can't help but dream as I drift away
Lost in what the darkness says as I gaze

I dreamed a desert prayed for rain
and that desert became the sea
Floating and gazing, I hear that desert
praying, still praying far beneath

I can't help but listen as I drift away
Lost in what the darkness says as I gaze
It tells me you can be light or you can be ash
Some say it's chosen for you, some say you get to choose
I'm dreaming on the water, rising moon has come
whispering words for where I'm going and where I'm from

Nighttime Birds and Morning Stars
by Sarah Louise

Where once her playing was essentially representational and descriptive, with 12-string cascades and plaintive vocals standing in for wind and snow, “Nighttime Birds” attempts to give voice to the fingerstyle guitarist’s entire universe at once. Bandcamp Album of the Day Jan 23, 2019
