Pram Lyrics

The Moving Frontier

Salt & Sand

Sweetheart, draw your shallow breath
While the cloud shadows pass overhead
This warm rock makes a pillow for us now
A mattress of sand, the tide is low

All that you ever wanted, you can let it go
Wishing suspends our lives we dwell on what we're owed
Paid in kind for ourselves, with ashes for our souls
All of the time we spend dwelling on what we're owed

Sweetheart, let the salt sea fill your dreams
The sun with the shadows dances it seems
Breathe deep the salt taste of the day
A curtain of rain falls far away

The City Surveyor

It was just an ill wind, but they sent me on a trauma picnic
Everyone wants a date with the city surveyor

Outside there is a dog that barks at its own shadow
Everyone wants positioning, no person can be unmapped

Salva

Are you afraid of sugar, scared of salt?
I am not afraid of the future
It will always be a place where we can learn new things
and put right our mistakes

Moonminer

Today the sky's a steel eye that observes
How each tiny thing grasps its small grasp of life
Sing lullabies to a lizard brained life
With flickering tongue and an alien cry
To keep them alive we need this heat
Watch the blood retreating from the heartbeat til your eyes close

Your life may be very different to my own
But I will not be afraid for you
Sweet pioneer, my own moon minor baby
Living agelessly in the seasons of the future
The hollowed out life that you've begun
You can leave it behind and say hello to the world

Hums Around Us

Hums around us, comes the summer summer
Softens edges, people carry summer
But they don't know

They've gone crazy, so it seems
Just like dust-motes in the sunbeams

Hums around us, it's the summer summer
Fills the spaces with its heat the summer
Sets us aglow
