I would like to acknowledge the Wurundjeri People of the Kulin Nation are the Traditional Owners of the land on which my music is written and recorded. I acknowledge sovereignty has never been ceded and I pay my respects to Elders past, present, and future.

lyrics

The longest drives and a desk to write behind
Dark wood holds her up from each side
And I'm ready to live a quiet life,
Yeh, I'm ready, she said, to live the quiet life.

You may shield me from the sky
But you don't need to keep my ankles dry
Cause this umbrella won't last forever
And I'm okay with it.

I'll start my life when the dust has settled right
And I'll flip it up and fill it like a cup
We're a dripping mess but we don't need to be the best
A relentless storm, I'm now armoured like a bull.

You may shield me from the sky
But you don't need to keep my ankles dry
Cause this umbrella won't last forever
And I'm okay with it.
Yeh, I'm okay with it.

An unfinished line, an artwork built by time
A flightless kite, a stagnant satellite
I'm an ancient text, a word-of-mouth romance
I've seen it all, I know nothing more than this

You may shield me from the sky,
But you don't need to keep my ankles dry.
Cause this umbrella won't last forever
And I'm okay with it.
Yeh, I'm okay with it.

So let it rain down.

about

Jessie L. Warren

The stunning debris of something explosive. Haphazardly thrown together in complete unawareness and amongst all
the crazy, brutal occasion something beautiful is created.
