lyrics

Long was the night
Grey is the day
Fierce the waves
That drank us on their way

But see the girl
With her hopes and curls
And a smile to light
The boats back to the bay

She is wide-eyed wandering
With a song to have the fishes sing
She is wide-eyed wandering
With a smile to light
The boats back to the bay

Feel the tide
Meet the shore
Touch the rocks
That many still long for

Gone is cold
Enter calm
And a sigh to shape
The whispers of our own

We are wide-eyed wandering
With a song to have the fishes sing
We are wide-eyed wandering
With a smile to light
The boats back to the bay
With a smile to light
The boats back to the bay

I love these alternative versions of the 'Murmuration' songs. The stripped down instrumentation creates an intimite vibe, while the poem intertwines them into a concept-like album. As a result, this is a new album that stands out on its own and that is more than just a complement to 'Murmuration'. 'Ordinary' already was a beautiful song, yet 'Extraordinary' adds something extra for me. And because the piano intro somehow calls up some recognition. Another beautiful album by Emily Barker! rbergman
