about

The Mother packs up all of the seeds she has been saving and sets off South to find fertile ground, using the sun and stars to guide her. As she passes through abandoned towns she is haunted by the bears and other animals fleeing from the starving cold. She leaves a trail of seeds as she goes, hoping her Daughter can follow it to her one day. It snows heavier and heavier.

lyrics

Mother:
Damp the fire and close the door
Cast off the life I lived before
Abandoning my empty nest
Adrift and dispossessed

I’m leaving home
I’m leaving home empty
North star at my back
Long road home

Frozen peaks and troughs of tracks
Tracing trails of travelled past
Picking spikes in shattered ground
Fog and flurries soften sound

Walking staff, eyes down cast
Adrift in drifts and falling fast
Silver shadows chase around
Ruined houses huddle down

Fireside constellations
Dark sky consultations
North Star guide me through
To break fresh ground anew

Earthbound
Moon rise

Hope like cold
Preserves the things I cannot hold
Cold like hope
Cools my blood when I cannot cope

Ice dreams of thaw
Rivers tracing where they ran before
Seeds dream of sun
Tender reaching for what they’ll become

I’m leaving home
I’ll leave a trail,
I can feel the North star at my back
Long road home
