This a song I wrote a number of years ago, inspired by the ghosts that live around the dunes and sandbanks at Spanish Point...

Spanish Point

Trisha Nolan - Foolish Heart (Master) 03082014

Kintsugi or kintsukuroi is the art of fixing broken pottery with a special lacquer dusted with powdered gold dating back to the 15th Century. It is related to the Japanese philosophy of wabi-sabi, believing that when something has suffered damage or has flaws it becomes more beautiful.

Until My Wings Unfold

Tonight I’m going to drink myself pretty
let my mind and my emotions go
With a bottle of old time pity
In memory of someone I used to know

I’ve cried for every reason but the right one
Tears wont bring you back now you’re gone
I’ve had enough of playing second fiddle
A bitter melody and then it’s done

I know I’ll be fine
With patience and a little time
I’ll fill these cracks with gold
Until my wings unfold

Today I’m going to pick up the pieces
Put the bottle down and start anew
Let the darkness slowly turn to morning
Get hold of myself and over you

Chorus…

I’ll fill these cracks…
Until my wings unfold

Until My Wings Unfold. (DEMO) D.Rua/M.Nordli

When a spoonful of honey goes into a cup of tea, it`s hard to tell which is tea and which is honey. She realized that she could`t pull ut without leaving a piece of herself, that she could`t find the place where she detatched from him. Like she would have to leave an arm or a leg, like she would break. And she just could`t find the courage to pull herself out.
