Germinate Lyrics - Alison Moyet

Until 

The fire is humbled in the grate 

This cup in its forgotten state, that measured tides, high tides 

Photograph the words 

Unspoken 

As a crocus offering saffron token 

Until the dew evaporates 

And while the clay bakes 

I germinate 

I'm here, I germinate 

I'm here, I germinate 

I will give you wanderlust 

A tree must, tucked into earth unblinking 

Set your compass to me my twin 

The rub of life has moulded every limb 

and shifter now has settled shape 

I'm here, I germinate 

I'm here, I germinate 

Cora stay your hand and let the root keep hold in the ground 

I unfold 

I give you until there bleeds a seam of tangerine 

Where bats in a blink eclipse the moon like whipped kerchiefs 

In a courtly swoon 

I'm here, I germinate 

I'm here, I germinate 

Cora stay your hand and let the root keep hold in the ground 

Untold 

Until the last seed splits its green 

The last wreath here between deft fingers mend a ring complete 

Until the sea rolls sweet 

Until armadas sweep the dead 

West Pier 

I wait 

I'm here, I germinate
