The Morning 04:51
Darling // Have we awoken so soon I ask for one more moment of sleep Between the day and your sheets Darling // I lost the reins Now you alone call the blame and shoot the night between us Hold me down // by the chest String me up // by my hands My heart is bound, let me come home Darling // this one hurts more than the last I know we are done // With no breath left to run away
5.
Stay awhile with me We'll sleep beneath the trees The sun will catch your breath Darling, keep your words They are not enough Our hearts say all we need to say Take off all your cares I've your hand and you have mine Though we may grow old Our love stays young and walks beside us, arm in arm Take off all your cares I've your hand and you have mine I've your hand you always had mine

You came round with a fistful of promises I could not number them all But I would count them more than I could call on you for anything We were in love We were in love but you did not know it at all Why did you run Out from the night I had fallen under Isn't it cold without my tears upon your shoulder We were in love We were in love but you did not know it at all Where have you gone Have you found someone to lay your cares upon If I couldn't see it Then I could believe it but it's written all over your tongue That we were in love We were in love But you did not know it at all

Bruises 04:05
You were gone Long before you left You were gone Long before you set the bar too high You were gone Long before we said our long goodbye A lullaby will shelter for so long til the big bad world comes running Teeth bared, teeth bared and a basket full of words that hit and hurt where it bruises worst I was gone Long before you thought I was gone Long before we were exclusive I was gone Long before you hurt me kindly A lullaby will shelter for so long til the big bad world comes running Teeth bared, teeth bared and a basket full of words that hit and hurt where it bruises worst

about

eirwen skye Sydney, Australia

Eirwen Skye is a solo singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist using loops of ukulele, vocals and various ‘toy’ instruments to create a layered sound. The highly emotive lyrics are an essay in the meaning of ‘unrequited’, delivered with a voice that is far bigger than her small frame would suggest.

"Her voice was absolutely gorgeous...haunting and powerful performance." (Drum Media)
