Nowhere

How much further out can the outside be?
Nothing but this desert far as I can see
I remember how the Red Sea used to sing
I remember how it swallowed everything

Let the compass spin
Turn me round again
Doesn't matter if it's here
Doesn't matter if it's there
Any place without you is nowhere

I was split when I was known
Always one half in danger, one half home
Scarred my tongue to keep my secret safe
Now my secret's all that I can taste


Let the compass spin
Turn me round again
Doesn't matter if it's here
Doesn't matter if it's there
Any place without you is nowhere

All these bones
On the other shore
How my sister sang
But I don’t sing no more
