I can’t make my tree grow
All the leaves have fallen down
Oh the orchard’s gray
Since the water went away
In my gorgeous garden
Where the birds they used to sing
Only silence echoing
On the wind the ocean brings
Requiem aeternam
Dona Eis Domina
Requiem aeternam
Dona Eis Domina
Honey from the honeybees
Bitters all my memories
Take the mandrake from its place
Show the world a brand-new face
Salty waters cover me
For the past, you cannot see
Lady Future take my hand
Hold me till I reach the sand.
Requiem aeternam
Dona Eis Domina
Requiem aeternam
Dona Eis Domina
I can’t make my tree grow
All the leaves have fallen down
Oh the orchard’s gray
Since the water went away
In my gorgeous garden
Where the birds they used to sing
Only silence echoing
On the wind the ocean brings

Zoom In Zoom Out is beautifully reflective. Mally allows herself to be so vulnerable, but the underlying flow shows an incredibly strong woman. I'm honoured to have had a part in it. Hazel Iris
