lyrics

Deep, stuck in the half light
You are the half of my whole
Deep, stuck in the half light
You are so far away from home

Feeling your empty presence
recalling your essence and your touch
Feeling your empty presence
and i miss you so much

You had a dream that you were
unfaithful and you told me in the morning

And it's never been boring or tiring to be in love with you
And I'm always remembering, even when I'm away from you
our love still feels brand new

Days counting and keeping
your horizon laid in me; two lines
Days counting and keeping
your melody in mind

Space turning to distance
we measure in willingness to yearn
Space turning to distance;
bodies stretched out over red dirt

You had a dream that you were
unfaithful and you told me in the morning

If at first it was daunting
to be in love with you
now it's something like dawning
All the birds are alive with you our
love like morning dew

Yes, I was first unwilling
to give my love to you
but your love is forgiving
and I gifted myself to you
And in the beginning, like
speaking a language we learnt anew
Now it's something like singing
Even when I'm away from you my lips
part to your tune

about

Nika Mo Perth, Australia

Making and performing on Whadjuk Noongar boodjar. Sovereignty was never ceded.

Melancholy-folk that makes the Perth mundane sound somewhat poetic.
