Curly, from The Woods Debut EP 'The Start' out 28 August 2015.

lyrics

Slow me down, your soul turns a light on/ I don't feel so much these days since I drowned in work that eats me up & spits me out the other side. All the days that pass me by are harder without you to show me all the laughter/ don't you know your tide carries me where I want to go? Sitting on our sandy seats, marzipan on the wattle breeze/ dog & ball bounce in the mud lying by our side. By the waterside we sit & don't care/ with the cliff-spray hanging in the cool air/ say you will be here with me forever & a day. Sharing grapefruit, eyes fixed on the sea/ talk about what we could be/ thinking of the past, tears run down your face. Under autumn stars we thought were ours/ you lie still on moving dunes/ your hand resting on mine. Yellow flowers bloom against our backs/ this is all I ever dreamed of, don't move away. Oh don't move away from here again. Slow me down your soul turns a light on/ warmth I feel all day since I found you were here by my side all along. Under autumn stars we thought were ours/ you lie still on moving dunes/ this is all I ever dreamed of.
