Lyrics A Sun Coloured Shaker - Yndi Halda

A Sun Coloured Shaker

To splay your fingers
To balance on the toes
To move as graceful as a willow
To pull the body up
To know what the head knows
To move in worship of miracles
Like a terrible comet coming to hit the Earth
Writing a list of things you would say first
Like a terrible comet coming to hit the Earth
Writing a list of things you would say first
Identify the footsteps
Hear them as my own
Have I forgotten?
To make a sun rise out of rhythm
High up on the shadow
Move as graceful as a deer in its light
Like a terrible comet coming to hit the Earth
Writing a list of things you would say first
Like a terrible comet coming to hit the Earth
And writing a list of things you would say first
to weather, weather high
Black cloud
Sing to the
Move covered in dew
Sing to weather, weather high
Black cloud
Sing to the
Move covered in dew
(Finish off that final tree
Sink its ash into the sea)
Empty out that final light
Empty into night
Finish off that final tree
Sink its ash into the sea
Empty out that final light
Empty into night
Finish off that final tree
Sink its ash into the sea
Empty out that final light
Empty into night
Finish off that final tree
Sink its ash into the sea
Empty out that final light
Empty into night
Finish off that final tree
Sink its ash into the sea
To be a river walker
Where the water is old
To be a sun walker
Where the air is cold
Uncertain on the shadow
Lightning lit up the sunburn
I’m passing through
Never shade
Pure flowing as a river
That makes the sun rise out of rhythm
High up on the shadow
Move as graceful as a deer in its light
Like a terrible comet coming to hit the Earth
And writing a list of things you would say first
Like a terrible comet coming to hit the Earth
And writing a list of things you would say first
