lyrics

Be strong, Bernadette
Nobody will ever know
I came here for a reason, perhaps
There is a life here
Of not being afraid of your own heart beating
Do not be afraid of your own heart beating
Look at very small things with your eyes
And stay warm
Nothing outside can cure you
But everything’s outside
There is great shame for the world in knowing
You may have gone this far

And no more lies, no more
Not to find you, no
More coming back and more returning
Southern journey
Small things and not my own debris
Something to fight against

There’s not much point in it’s being over
If I crawled back to the house
Two feet give no position if
The branches cracked over my head
And their threatening me, if I
Covered my face with beer
And sweated til you returned
If I suffered, what else could I do
If I suffered, what else could I do
If I suffered, what else could I do
