about

An intimate, acoustic stringed melody about retreating to a sacred space beneath giant karri trees - "a cathedral graced by leaves."

lyrics

Because there’s nowhere left to turn and no one left to find
I go down to the karri grove to quench my burning mind
rosellas flashing through the leaves plumed in licks of flame
are sparks of hope that flicker out through karri trees in the rain
the branches hung with ribboned bark darkened by the wet
contours mark the growing trunk and I shall not forget
a bronzewing on a limb of bone how mournful his refrain
a lonely voice that cools my soul like karri trees in the rain
I glimpse the golden whistler the glinting magpie’s eye
the dew on hardenbergia the globes of earth and sky
the darkened sap is runnelling my fingers trace the stain
and I am streaked with living tears like karri trees in the rain
oh I am streaked with living tears like karri trees in the rain
I’m on my knees under karri trees their healing shade
a cathedral graced by leaves
I hear the sound of singing birds they soothe my pain
in this sacred space
karri trees in the rain
