lyrics

I see myself in you, and you in me
And from the womb you’ve always been a step ahead of me
But from that place I never saw how lost you were, how lonely
How much you yearned for your own chosen family

Fiery hearts clashing like the crash of cymbals
Strong-willed and stubborn, never backing down
Ears half open, eyes half closed
Couldn’t help stepping on each other’s toes

In your head we weren’t the same, I’d never understand
And I could never give you the life that you had planned
Nor could I please you or convince you of my love
In the midst of all our fighting, our simmering shared blood

Fiery hearts clashing like the crash of cymbals
Strong-willed and stubborn, never backing down
Ears half open, eyes half closed
Couldn’t help stepping on each other’s toes

We never had to use that magic word that we chose
The word to end an argument ended all arguments
As sisters and as friends we share blood, hearts, minds and hands
Open ears, open eyes and matching gecko fingers

Fiery hearts clashing like the crash of cymbals
Strong-willed and stubborn, never backing down
Ears half open, eyes half closed
Couldn’t help stepping on each other’s toes

Fiery hearts clashing like the crash of cymbals
Strong-willed and stubborn, never backing down
Ears half open, eyes half closed
Couldn’t help stepping on each other’s toes

about

Mary Webb Adelaide, Australia

Captivating vocals, catchy, offbeat guitar picking and a swig of poetry, you can see why Mary Webb has been described as "a shining light" in the Adelaide Folk scene. A strong background in classical music has her in good stead, though her music now suggests Jazz and Folk have been powerful influences. Mary’s songs are thoughtful yet frank, exploring human fragility, self-discovery and connection. ... more
