31st January 2019,
The Unitarian Church, Liverpool
supporting The Delines
Someone I wait for
left without saying where
or what to do with all the love I feel
all the love
I swear if anybody knows
where he is
this one knows
I crawled into a Cormorant’s eye
and right there at the beginning of time
beneath the ragged black mountain wings
I call your name
I call your name
Don’t you think it’s strange that nobody knows where you are?
I crawled into a Cormorant’s eye
and look at me now
a feathered seer
a ghost
on a prehistoric tide post I will wait
for your boat to pass by
One eye on the city, one eye on the sea
One eye on the city, I got one eye on the sea
One eye on the city, one eye on
the misty, Mersey morning
As it was in the beginning,
is now and ever shall be
as it was in the beginning
is now
I crawled into a Cormorant’s bed
cheek to her chest
she’s going to bring me
the best, oh yes
beneath the ragged green water she goes
deep
deep sea diving
deep
deep down
Don’t you think it’s strange that nobody knows where you are?
I crawled into a Cormorant’s bed
and under her foot, I’m kept
in the campion weave
beneath the ragged black mountain
little egg, little egg between worlds I sleep
little egg between worlds I sleep
little egg between worlds
I reach
I reach
I reach
