Near the top of the hill There’s a warning light And it cuts like a sword in the deepest night For a fleeting glimpse You’re a fool if you go On the blackest part of her cobalt stones You know it burns so bright When you’re close to the sun If it melts your wings than my work’s begun I can’t bear to see another wasted life Quickly snatched from the earth mama hold me tight At the edge of the world Where the seabirds sing And so many people come to spread their wings Every soul I find There were untold more Must’ve sunk to the bottom of the ocean floor You know it burns so bright When you’re close to the sun If it melts your wings than my work’s begun I can’t bear to see another wasted life Quickly snatched from the earth mama hold me tight Near the top of the hill There’s a warning light And it cuts like a sword in the deepest night

Dreamy, introspective songwriting with a backdrop of Americana and indie-folk soundscapes. Inspired by true stories and common folklore of isolated, working-class island life in the North Atlantic.
