about

This really became a lynchpin for the album and subsequently the album was named from this song. Beginning life as a humming song in the wee hours to my young son I'm so proud to have been able to see it through, with Micky at the helm creating the tapestry of sounds. It's for Jem. It's for Laura. It's for the farm. It's for the land. The flood. The fires. It's for a goat named Peach and a broken scapula and a thousand things besides.

lyrics

Falling out of time
with an arrow for my heart
a twisted line oh the hungers of my heart
play their part

Oh the wind sings the trees
the creek winds slow
metres high now metres low

To run in circle no stranger than my own
To run in circle no stranger than my own

Sing O meridian the high noon the song
I'm short in the long grass tall as the sun
a bryter star layter your sickle moon halo
the blue of the nocturne who do burn for thee

Me on my sickle my scythe and my swathe
slow with the flowers your face grace beloved
I never felt better dressed as death
oh dressed as death

To run in circles no stranger than my own
To run in circles no stranger than my own
I run in circles no stranger than my own

For the land hungers and the water thirsts
the fore will take it all
blowing down the line of the spirals in your mind
in the holding and the letting go
the holding
and the letting go

To run in circles no stranger than my own
