about

Recorded at home in west cork between Feb and April 2022.

lyrics

It's not the burdens that you bear, it's the summoning ease.
It's not the storm all around, but the promise of fairer seas.
It's not the chill of the winter, but sun through the trees.
It's not the wind but what it carries.

It's not the secrets that you keep, it's the truth out on it's knees.
It's not how close you were, but the difference by degrees.
It's not how long you stayed, but that you had to leave.
It's not the wind but what it carries.

I'm all for revelations but they never seem to last.
They gather in the corners with the wreckage of my past.
I'm a product of my times, a survivor of my age.
I've horizons to explore but love the view from this cage.

It's not the magnetic pull, but from all that you flee.
It's not your strength to endure, it's your dependencies.
It's not were you right or you wrong but that you did the deed.
It's not the wind but what it carries.

I am all for revelations.
I am all for revelations.
I am all for revelations.
But they never seem to last.
