long afloat on shipless ocean
I did all my best to smile
tip your singing eyes and fingers
bring me loving to your isle
and you sang,
"sail to me, sail to me, let me unfold you,
here I am, here I am, waiting to hold you."
did I dream you dreamed about me?
were you here when I was forced out?
now my foolish boat is leaning
broken, lovelorn, on your rocks
for you sing,
"touch me not, touch me not, come back tomorrow,
oh my heart, oh my heart, shies from the sorrow."
well I'm as puzzled as the newborn child
I'm as riddled as the tide
should I stand amid the breakers?
or should I lie with death, my bride?
hear me sing,
"swim to me, swim to me, let me enfold you,
here I am, here I am, waiting to hold you."
Market, from Melbourne, fuse soul and chillwave on a wonderfully woozy song with rubbery guitars & breathy harmonies. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 19, 2020
A hushed and low-lit EP from this Melbourne musician, where dreamlike melodies drift across a bed of tender guitar. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 19, 2023
