Debut single from Josie Duncan & the Dusk

lyrics

Verse 1
Softer than any night, whisper of silver moonlight
Is dancing on your skin, notes of green roll in

Verse 2
Taking sleepless chances ‘til sunlight’s probing glances
Weave me in velvet untorn, leave me ready for the storm

Chorus
You will rearrange your nest any place that suits you best
Sing a song you’ve never heard Oh, to be a bird

Verse 3
Now the ocean starts to sing of this rare moment, tumbling
And the stars that brush the sea become hidden to me

Chorus

Verse 4
Now hills are darkening around the body I am in
A diminuendo of light welcomes in another night

Chorus

You will rearrange your nest, sing a song you’ve never heard
You will rearrange your nest, sing a song you’ve never heard

Chorus
