Emily Barker - Geography Lyrics

Be my view looking back
Red earth deep, red-tailed black
First landscapes and loves
Clear blue skies above
Calling me down that gravel track

Eucalypts after rain
Remind me who I'm again
On petrichor nights, my memories alight
We're more than we ever could explain

Tidal questions at my feet
Home is where the heart lines meet
Not in distance of the seas
Nor geography

Say hello to the spring
What will this time you bring?
An old self to shed? A new mouth to be fed?
Write me an answer I can sing

Tidal questions at my feet
Home is where the heart lines meet
Not in distance of the seas
Nor geography

Down every dune of your shoreline
I move with the migratory birds
Me and my shadows in a flight path rhyme
A dark murmuration of words
