Tenderness

Walked for forty minutes in Auckland rain
Dont matter where you come from it feels just the same
To wash away a sickness or to revel in joy
Distance doesnt change what time can destroy
They say that Truganini was the last of her kind
The sky it took her spirit when her body declined
Her bones first were stolen now shes scattered at sea
Ive been crying for her, hope youre thinking of me
Your body is a tender song
Then I blink and its gone x2
Board an aeroplane as I sit there and sigh
I think about the way I left a stranger behind
I was cruel, I was cruel, when I should have kind
I can only sleep when I know that Ive tried
She touched me with a feather and it felt like a stone
Our limbs moved together, a night spent alone.
When the morning comes, by the light of dawn
Every inch of you, now a map that Ive drawn
Your body is a tender song
Then I blink and its gone.
I opened my eyes so I could see,
The woman that was sitting on me,
Her hair was long it covered up her chest,
The candles burned her fiery silhouette.
