SONG OF A
THOUSAND
LEAVES
Creatures of the Deep
Maui, Hawaii 2017
This song was a gift from the whales in Hawaii, received as this album was in its final stages of completion. I made the last minute decision to include this live version of the song (recorded in my living room with friends singing along!) as I feel inspired to share a fresh new song on this collection of songs from the last decade of my life, as a bridge into a new chapter.
Painting visions on the horizon
Waves keep coming, we keep on dreaming
Painting visions for our children
Tides keep turning, we keep on singing
Repeat
Chorus:
I’m going under, to sing with the whales
Beneath the crashing waves
Oh the beauty of your grace
I’m going under, where freedom can be found
Singing in the deep blue
Swimming in your sound
Repeat
Creatures of the deep ayeye aye x 4
The water goes deep
and the winds grow strong
To carry this love, to guide us home
Oh the waters go deep
and the winds grow strong
To carry this love, to guide us home
Repeat x 2
Oh the waters go deep
and the winds grow strong
To carry this love
Chorus x 2
Creatures of the deep ayeye aye x 4
I offer flowers to your waters
With petals of the heart
May you always be protected
I offer flowers on your ocean alter
With petals of forgiveness
May we all remember
I offer flowers to your waters
With petals of the heart
May you be protected
I offer flowers on your ocean alter
With petals of forgiveness
May we all remember
​These creatures of the deep ayeye aye x 4
