Dedicated to a beautiful best friend from across the Earth.
lyrics
Don’t stray so far, far away by yourself,
come into the light again,
My comrade, my songbird, my friend.
My pretty nobody,
you’ve been traveling far, far away,
where no one calls your name,
when you’re senseless to the stars,
worthless to the wind,
you’ll be worth everything to me.
You’ll be worth everything to me.
I know the world seems so wide
Ten thousand oceans form a great divide.
I know the world seems so wide.
When you're on the other side.
If you submit to the whim of the waves, and
you feel like you’re drowning slowly, you’ll soon come to.
Though for now we’re rocks on the shore, and you’ll sink like a stone,
submerge into blue,
through an ocean of sighs, where the waves rise to high and push down everything around you,
for I’ll never leave you.
Sail your little boat right to me,
and crash into my shore.
No ocean will keep us apart.
No ocean has the nerve.
Everything Katie Dill does is absolutely incredible. Her writing is phenomenal and her arrangements of folk tunes are some of the best I've heard. Haunting, experimental, and beautiful. Andrew Preston
