1.
The same rules cradle me Crouching quiet beneath Leaving such sweet nothings bare In shattered stone and lidded stare Shock me into pieces That feather the floor And your coat tails thunder The scalloped dogs roar Candles shade the room The expression on your face As I read your glittered whisper Of open doors and reckless space But those clear horizons Fall sheer from my feet Like the fresh cut flowers Soon crushed underneath and we danced all night through lost inside the Grey Waltz Blue Space and endless time Wears the pulleys, shifts the light As I look behind your silhouette To falling weights and tearing nets Stretch my nascent roots Down into the peat Leaving bone white flagstones Washed clean on the street
2.
I’ll live a long time Leaving pieces of myself behind Fragment of a cell, once passed this way Yet we, puzzles of its piece, fall outside the frame Days fly, birds cry As she slowly fades into time Days fly, birds cry At the thought that it could cut the line I fell upon the grass Listing in its green charade The moments that have made us Moments of impact All we really have to take away You’ve lost your mum And I loved her And where is her person staying now? All that she was, precious pieces Looking inside me, she is found Days fly, birds cry At the thought she could fade into time Days fly, birds cry Yet I know that she’ll always be mine

about

The inspiration for Grey Waltz Blue comes from Beth’s work with survivors of family violence. The song conveys a sense of the incredibly difficult journey undertaken by each survivor leading up to their decision to leave a violent relationship. It aims to spark conversation around this issue, and how each of us can play a role in decreasing its prevalence in our communities.

10% of proceeds will go towards InTouch Multicultural Centre Against Family Violence. www.intouch.asn.au
