Alexi Murdoch - Her Hands Were Leaves lyrics

I see my brother, he is walking in the sun His back is bare, he carries no burden for anyone I see the island, a silver line Brother, how you shine And all around the light And all around the light Now I see my father, he's so small against the sky The child, the tree, the shadow is on his eye He doesn't know who he's supposed to be Father, you are free And all around the light And all around the light Now I hear my mother, she is crying on the stair Her hands are leaves, the light is in her hair And as she prays, she thinks that no one heard Mother, you are a bird Mother, you are a bird And all around the light And all around the light And all around the light Now all around the light
