Emily Barker & The Red Clay Halo Dancers lyrics

Hide me in the wings a while
Let me catch my breath
Wipe the weary from this brow
Stretch the tired from these legs

Before I dance across your roads
And underneath your streetlights
Before I move upon your stage
In front of crowds made up of dancers

Gulls drop into the sea
I'm not sure where I should be
Waves crash through the streets
Leaving dangers and doves
Leaving loathes and loves
At my feet

Take me to the river's edge

Where the city opens
Lay my eyes in silhouettes
And angles of the horizon

There winds are freed from a jail of glass walls
And the sirens drown in the sand
There I remember how to dance
And stop fighting for places to land

Gulls drop into the sea
I'm not sure where I should be
Waves crash through the streets
Leaving dangers and doves
Leaving loathes and loves
At my feet
