lyrics

If I reach out and touch a line
Will your heart give a rhythm
That’s also mine?
Is there a language I can learn
To understand you?
I thought I felt you moving in the moonlight
Why do you hide when I come near?

If I dive into the mountain side
Will you show me the pattern
Of the main divide?
Is there a reason for the shadow
That you cast over my eyes?
I thought I heard you crying in the forest
What do your mourn under the Taurean sky?

Zealandia
I love you
You and me are
One and the same, part of a whole

I feel your breath inside of me
But when the time comes
I’ll return it gratefully
Oh will you hear me when I call you
At the midnight of my life?
You’ll take my body into yours
And feed from it
With a blood-ribbon you pull me home

With my hand upon my heart
I give you so freely
My pledge to honour and protect you
Always
