Vertigo

Song written and recorded September, 2014. Video made October, 2015 © Cecilia Bjärgö Lyrics: The red leaves on the ground, fills the path I walk Solitude fills me, I can hear my own steps Gently crushing what hides under my shoes I see dried leaves and whitened frosty grass I look up to the tree tops, high up above A sadness appears, I can feel my head spin Leaning my head towards an old oak tree I smell dried leaves and resin in the bark Even though my feet is on the ground, far beneath the tree tops My minds plays tricks on me Fooling me I’m falling Vertigo, amongst dried leaves and golden trees Beside me a moss covered stone My hands caressing its surface, I feel my heart beat Embracing my knees once I sat down I can feel dried leaves and a cold hard wind I cannot move, my body pinned to the ground A melancholy grips my chest, I feel a need to cry
