Ghost Narrative - Emily Barker, The Red Clay Halo

Deep, deep water spills

All the ghosts from the river mouth

You watch them swim

To the safety of the grass

The rocks and trees hold memories

When deep, deep water breathes

Your ghosts to me

We walked this land together Tearing our hearts out

We’ll walk this land together ‘til the truth is out

Our deep, deep history pulls

All the ghosts from the mountain

You watch them move to the shelter of the

Valley laying low for centuries

Our history and our home

Send ghosts to me

We walked this land together Tearing our hearts out

We’ll walk this land together ‘til the truth is out

The bare, bare threads of

This ghost narrative

Are whispered through the mist

We all shiver in forgiveness

The rocks and trees hold memories

When deep, deep water

Breathes your ghosts to me

We walked this land together Tearing our hearts out

We’ll walk this land together ‘til the truth is out
