The Hollow

lyrics

I wanted to find a hollow
A place to fill the empty in my mind
My silence had me caving inwards
I longed for us to speak between the lines
And when I’d find my hollow
I’ll leave every trace of it behind
I’d of known you’d follow
But this hollow was for me alone to find

Or so I thought
Or so I thought, oh what a fool

Oh what I was, oh what you are,
These are the strangest times
Has my young love faded out of sight?
Oh where we were, oh where we are,
They’re not so far apart
We’ll set off for that hollow at first light,
Yeah we will

At last we reached the hollow
We'll sink down in the moss upon the ground
My compass had me helter-skelter,
A fly in a fish bowl buzzing round
Your heart against my chest a-humming
You sing your song of sorrow to me now
But my songbird shall not wallow
Drawn back to this secret we have found

And I hear the water rushing down below
It doesn’t matter now

“a mellifluous mix of guitar, cello and vocal harmonies…a low-fi recording style and unique percussion act as perfect condiments” –Performer Magazine less
