about

The title track, this song is about love over the long-term.

lyrics

You, you are a fir tree
Stoic and strong
Consistent and calm
Silent till breaking free

This home, home’s like a bird’s egg
Precious and snug
Full of life, full of love
But so easy to break

Chorus:
So won’t you sew me some wings
I’ll sew you some in return
For all that we’ve learned
Grow cold and get burned
If we live and we love and we laugh
We’ll catch the updraft

I, I am the west wind
Melodies borne
Or simmering storm
Not knowing what I’m blowing in

My heart, it’s a kaleidoscope
One little twist
The whole picture shifts
Fractures of light and rainbows

Chorus

Bridge:
And when the morning comes
We’ll be safe in bed
Dreams are tethered softly
With these golden threads

Our love, love’s like a fire
So warm when it glows
But when the door’s closed
Cold and aching for air

And we, we are the embers
Lights in the dark
Ashes and sparks
Cycles of death and rebirth

Chorus
