lyrics

Hefted (Kirkby Fell)

I see you lying naked, you’re so real there’s just no faking
With your perfumes of the forests and the fields
Your snow white breasts are shining and the winter sun is blinding me
As I’m crawling up your body on my knees
I understand it when they say you’re loved by many men
But just like all the rest, you’re special to me
I love you in the winter snow, when the days are dark and the nights are cold
When the rivers and the blood begins to freeze

When the summer sun it tans you and the earth’s wild patterns brand you
I feel your cooling breathe caressing me
And I sense your springs are flowing down your thighs before exploding
With the rivers as they open to the sea
I understand you now, or I think I do anyhow
I’ve known you for so many years
I love you when the sun is is high, when the evening storms crack up the sky
When rain falls down like a mother’s tears

I can see you when I’m far away, when space and distance come into play
And life conspires to keep us both apart
I think of you when I’m travelling, when I’m tired and life’s unravelling
When all I need is loving and a hearth
I know you’re always there for me, and always will be
Whatever happens in these changing times
And I’ll always come back to you, from where ever chance has taken me to
I’m hefted to you, the choice isn’t mine
