Sheila Nicholls - Eiderdown lyrics

rate me

It's so calm, I am suspicious without a storm

Here on my farm, it is harvest and the sun is warm

And I yearn for upheaval, oscillation of the depths

The water's calling, and there is flood warning in all my steps

And I am leaving light behind to find an equal in my mind

To find an equal in my head

where all the boys contributed more than tangles in my sheets

, breakfast shadows in the streets

To make it safe so I won't drown, one more time in Eiderdown

Tiptoe below where it is dark and the walls are cold

And I see shadow I face my monster while I still feel bold

He beckons closer with no eyes and with no respect

He'd overdose her but he's to scared cause he hates me

The emperor Defiance in my mind sits on his throne

With face to be mine presumes I'll serve him beef and wine

His importance is so devine as I refuse and smile at him

I feed myself and learn to swim

To make it safe so I won't drown one more time in Eiderdown

And as the dust begins to clear

I know it's still taught that you are free

And I will consume this condition until there's no more division

Cause freedom outside of equal conveys

Let the privilege rule and everything else obeys

Cause freedom outside of equal conveys

Let the privilege rule and everything else obeys

And I am leaving light behind to find an equal in my mind

To find an equal in my head

where all the boys contributed more than tangles in my sheets,

breakfast shadows in the streets

To make it safe so I won't drown one more time in Eiderdown
