Walked for forty minutes in Auckland rain |
|
Don't matter where you come from it feels just the same |
|
To wash away a sickness or to revel in joy |
|
Distance doesn't change what time can destroy |
|
They say that Truganini was the last of her kind |
|
The sky it took her spirit when her body declined |
|
Her bones first were stolen now she's scattered at sea |
|
I've been crying for her, hope you're thinking of me |
|
Your body is a tender song |
|
Then I blink and it's gone x2 |
|
Board an aeroplane as I sit there and sigh |
|
I think about the way I left a stranger behind |
|
I was cruel, I was cruel, when I should have kind |
|
I can only sleep when I know that I've tried |
|
She touched me with a feather and it felt like a stone |
|
Our limbs moved together, a night spent alone. |
|
When the morning comes, by the light of dawn |
|
Every inch of you, now a map that I've drawn |
|
Your body is a tender song |
|
Then I blink and it's gone. |
|
I opened my eyes so I could see, |
|
The woman that was sitting on me, |
|
Her hair was long it covered up her chest, |
|
The candles burned her fiery silhouette. |
