Untangle

Film & Music
written, performed & produced by Gaynor Perry

I held you close, I let you go
Catching spiders in a glass
They mapped the contours of my face
During the night
While sleep washed my raven heart
Lily white

I held you dear
I let you disappear like dandelion seeds
On a single breath
It’s for the best
We were enmeshed

My life is small
It’s like a prayer
I’ll walk barefoot down to the sea
We toil, toil, toil, toil, toil

And then we will be free
So please untangle me

I held you close, I let you go
Watching spiders in a glass
I hope you found somewhere sublime
To spin your webs
And your heart is overflowing
With happiness

I held you dear
I let you disappear like diamond dust
Do you know where you are
In relation to the sun and the moon
And the earth

My life is small
It’s like a prayer
I’ll walk barefoot down to the sea
We toil, toil, toil, toil, toil

And then we will be free
When you untangle me
