Picture hanging over on the left hand side
Can you see it?
The colours of the paint are so bright
It's an old picture I drew of my lover
Back when it was she and I
There's a picture hanging
Over on the left hand side
Ivy creeping out of a ceramic vase
The leaves are purple
I think it's tradescantia
It's a young ivy growing here beside me
Nurtured from a stem I cut
There's some ivy creeping
Out of a ceramic vase
Picture hanging over on the left hand side
Can you see it?
The colours of the paint are so bright
It's an old picture I drew of my lover
Back when it was she and I
There's a picture hanging
Over on the left hand side
Wooden statue looking at me from my shelf
I remember seeing it in our old house
And I'll gaze at it when I think I've had it
Takes me back to better times
There's a wooden statue
Looking at me from my shelf
All these things around me
Pick me up when I feel sad
Like the picture hanging
Over on the left hand side

Lapwings

Take the colour in and refract it in the middle
Will I find you?
Easy in your step, a flick upon your crest
Will I find you?
Moving over oceans, havens in the lowlands
I’ll come through
Now that I remember lapwings in December,
I’m fine too
Every single day I saw you in the air and sunlight
Woodfire burning
Even now I’m taking comfort in the way you do
Carrying away the feeling every day as winter chills my breath, because
Even now I’m taking comfort in the way you do
Memories of finding tranquil in the islands
I loved you
Gannet on the water, fulmar in the burrow
I loved you
I wanted for nothing, shearwater and puffin
I’ll come through
Singing with elation, dancing murmuration
I’ll sing too
Every single day I saw you in the air and sunlight
Woodfire burning
Even now I’m taking comfort in the way you do
Carrying away the feeling every day as winter chills my breath, because
Even now I’m taking comfort in the way you do
