From the recording Rooted Through Darkness
Piano & Vocals - Kate Sutherland
Lyrics
I came into this world
with the murky eyes of an ink black sky
In that darkness lives the breath before every dawn
every rising tide
My gaze stretched no shields nor shame
wilder edges called my name
fingers extended
Whole in pieces I was met
unclipped wings untravelled yet
deep shadows befriended
In my starry wake
a vast unending sea
a universe as great as any seed
Raindrop by raindrop and millions of years
salt-water womb
an altar of tears to soothe my severance
No separation
I used to be cosmic salvation
in stars I could see all that I am
pure reverence
In my starry wake
a vast unending sea
a universe as great as any seed
And I’m carried out now on this starless night
and I’m falling out of time
I came into this world from dark and light
Step out of my skin again
slip into black water
Home in an ink black sky
