Nancy Kerr 2019
On the nature of consent in contemporary relationships, according to a review.
Nancy Kerr & James Fagan: https://kerrfagan.bandcamp.com/track/lovers-of-us-all
When the moon is full what happens to starlight
Does it flicker and fade in the brightness of the being
Love is a seed, strong as a birthright
Love is the deepest ocean when I bleed
Chorus 1:
And what would it take for us to be lovers
And when you wake up will you see heaven
Whatever denial was ever so fanciful
That’ll make lovers of us all
Between hair and brow as between land and sea
In the light as it falls upon his jawline
I put out my hand like a poor refugee
To the sands of some fine and foreign shore
So I put out my hand like a poor refugee
To the sands of that fine and foreign shoreline
Love is my need for disillusion
Love is the deepest ocean when I bleed
And what would it take for us to live freely
For we are wrapped in the skins of those before us
I put out my hand against retribution
To the sands of that fine and foreign shore
Chorus 2:
And what would it take for us to be lovers
For you to create instead of destruction
Of everything beautiful, instead of the bombs that fall
What’ll make lovers of us all
