Soft Fruit

Written by Leo.

lyrics

Soft fruit beneath the tree.
I found
the pain of memory resting here.
I took my children
up to the wall on the hill.
We watched the birds fly out of the holes until:

There’s no need to be held.
And no need to speak.

Oh, beautiful Lucy,
we are still part of the same water.
The lightest will rise up to be known,
but when it's unspoken,
it cannot be broken.

This is when I learned she listened to me,
and to that, I’ve forgotten the path
back down to anything I was.

You didn’t move three days, two nights.
Each time I woke I found you resting
unattracted by the bathroom light.
Your colour stayed and washed my sight.
Departure bright against the sky.

Soft fruit,
you’ve felt my hands.
Handling the past I understand:

Sometimes there’s no need to be held.
And no need to speak.
