Room For Three

River, carry her safely down
Almost breaking, making our way
Away from town
To pass her on
We've left the ground
Baby, talk to your sparrow
Babbling to him
You dear little thing
We'll feed you, sleep when you're tired
And snuggle in
Under my wing.
And all the while the water winds
Feeling lost at sea
Hiding from the ones that harm
I've got room for three.
My body aches
But my boat is strong
Silent, fate carries us along
Like a butterfly
I don't want to cry
And all the while the water winds
Feeling lost at sea
Hiding from the ones that harm
I've got room for three.
Is it dust defining us?
Fighting fear with fear
The child, the spy
The Earth and sky
A different world appears
And all the while the water winds
Feeling lost at sea
Hiding from the ones that harm
I've got room for three.
River, carry her safely down

Sanctuary

Close the shutters and lock out the world
For safety, for sanctuary.
Is it safe to believe what you're told
by friends or their enemies?
The walls are high and we are guarded here
By all that we ought yo know
But water rises up and dust gets in
We're covered from head to toe.
And brought to a shore
That wasn't there before
The weather changes and the walls are pulled
Way down, we weigh down
All our hopes upon La Belle Sauvage
To safety, to sanctuary.

Love Is My Rebellion

Listened to this album driving home the night lockdown was announced so I wouldn't be alone at uni and it really uplifted me on the journey. Every time I listen to it now I'm reminded of how surreal the experience was and how everything was so scary and uncertain and I wasn't even going to be able to hug my mum for a couple of weeks when I got home, but something about this album just felt so optimistic and comforting. Leaves such a warm feeling despite reminding me of an uncertain time.
