about

To me, this song is about (in ten words or less):

Surrendering to the beauty and destructive force of life

lyrics

Lady of mine
The storm threw you overboard
But you'll start to rise
Sharp nails into me, your swords

Matron of hours
Leave us where you find our bones
Those seas were ours
Searching for a chance at home

Make up your mind
Make up your mind

Salt-blood in me
A calm hatred of all you bring
Trust and be free
Lies born of the song you sing

You made up your mind
You made up your mind

Then there came a sound
of horses galloping on the sea
