Slow Days from Undergrowth by Mermaidens

Your grip is tightening around my throat
and I can't sleep with you watching me like that

Our heads at the water's edge,
I set stones upon your skin
and like the afterglow of a dream
I clung to your words

The day is slow
And I wait

My head is turning to meet your eye
I can't dream - It's endlessly on my mind

I did it to teach you
And you learn very well
Now I'll loosen the leash
You can crawl home in the rain

I'm the shadow on your sun
Don't you call my name

You've got bad lands to cross
Changing with the wind

I'm the shadow on your sun
Don't you call my name

You've got bad lands to cross
Changing with the wind
