Daughter

Winter rain of frozen water
Waiting to become your daughter
Where I woke
When I was awake

I moved on, but came back later
Knowing I could never save you
You were young, but you were never careless

I once knew a woman like you
Harbouring a life, an heirloom
Flew to high
Now it will never come back

I was told it lives in us now
In my brother, in me somehow
When we woke
Where we are awake

Something’s growing
I can’t tell you
How can I tell you?
If I don’t know what it is
Emptiness finds you
I can’t fill it
How can I fill it?
If I have nothing to give

Someone’s waiting
I can’t show you
How can I show you?
If I don’t know who it is
Emptiness finds you
I can’t fill it
How can I fill it?
If I have nothing to give
