winter bites cold
across your face
and i can tell that
it's been erased
from your memories
but you were the dew
in my back yard
and i know that no matter how far
i go away
you'll still be there
so don't go
looking too far
cause i am right
behind you now
and i won't go away
you are the crystals of ice
that hang from my house
you are that still and silent moment
in the early morning
between night and dawn
all is still
and i can see my breath there
and it's you
but i breathe in and i breathe out
my blood flows through my arms and legs
and it warms me still
and i sit there and think
of the years that you could bring
or take away
the light it shines on through
and i am shrouded
and i am covered like a blanket
when i die
please bury me deep in the ground
and wait for me to disappear
the earth it takes
what it needs from me
and gives the rest
to the animals
The second EP from Northern Irish singer-songwriter Bea Stewart runs from gentle folk to pillowy pop ballads, all perfectly executed. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 15, 2024
