lyrics
It’s going on a year now this May,
Since I walked those ten miles on that cold spring day.
I hadn’t slept in two nights.
Been too concerned with the goings on in someone else’s mind.
The road was straight, and the ground was wet.
The rain came down and hit me on my head,
and every time it hit it said, “Just forget.”
But I just kept on moving and said, “I’m not ready yet.”
But I burnt it all with my forest fire heart.
You were just a kindling flame,
brought on by the wind and the fire and the dust,
but you were not made of the same thing as me.
I skipped winter last year.
When times got tough I headed south with the birds of the air.
I had my pack, you know I had my thoughts;
a new habit for smoking things, and a mind to get myself lost.
The dogs chased our heels,
while I listened to a mother cry out to God to please help me.
I watched the children steal the wallets of the whitest thieves,
all while I sat on a curb and tried to translate a breeze.
Oh time will go.
Time will change me.
Oh you will go.
You wil change me.
Most nights I get through now.
When I wake I find my thoughts are somewhere else.
Still wonder where your thoughts are now.
Lord knows I left mine about 3000 miles south,
and you would take them west.
The second EP from Northern Irish singer-songwriter Bea Stewart runs from gentle folk to pillowy pop ballads, all perfectly executed. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 15, 2024
