lyrics

I've been roaming for so long
nomadic
by nature
Limbs loosened by the weather
scurrying 'round the hills
'round the rivers
Lost, full of fear
always on the run
My fur clinging in tufts
tangled, ravaged beast

Here I stand
feckless, feigned innocence
We forgot where
we came from

Here I stand
Body glistening
We were forged from
the star stuff

And it's hard

I caught up with you
and I fused my skin to yours
atom for atom
we met with recognition
And I saw myself
when i looked into your eyes
Ocular galaxies
gazing back at me

Here I stand
feckless, feigned innocence
We forgot where
we came from

Here I stand
body glistening
We were forged from
the star stuff

And it's hard

about

Kittiwake

Kittiwakes are coastal breeding birds ranging in the North Pacific, North Atlantic and Arctic oceans. The black-legged kittiwake is often known simply as kittiwake. The name is derived from the birds call, a song 'kittee-wa-ake, kittee-wa-ake'. Colonies can be found throughout the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands to southeast Alaska. In the winter, the range extends further south and out to sea. ... more
