lyrics

Amberley (© David Ross Macdonald 2010)

took the name from the blood of a tree
had a heart like a wing trapped in a stone
wore round her neck like and embering tear
cried from the suns of before

where's my amberley

there's a scar on the tree where the maple once wept
there's river bed rock where the glaciers once slept
and the oceans reclaim how soon they forget
how blind kings once reached for the stars

where's my amberley

hung round her neck like a prism of pain
bending the will of the foolish and vain
who dared to defy whats written in stone
and cast from a furnace of bones

where's my amberley

from blue earth to burn stone amberley holds
the bones of the reckless and their dreams
bound to before by the rosin of time
that windows the warnings of old

where's my amberley
