lyrics
where were you when I was up my tree
carving out a sung identity
where were you when I was blossoming
filling up with shame and subtlety
‘cause I needed you to call out come down from there
I’ve been looking everywhere
your song circlin’ higher and gone
where were you when I was up my tree
drowning out the devils I’d heard speak
invisible, braced inside the bark
‘cause I needed you to call out come down from there
I’ve been looking everywhere
your song circlin’ higher and gone
come down I’ve been watching you all along
bird of this paradise crying to me
precious and prized for your golds and your greens
I can see everything from the top of this tree
no sooner you’re seen then you fly
and I’m falling…
carving out a sung identity
where were you when I was blossoming
filling up with shame and subtlety
‘cause I needed you to call out come down from there
I’ve been looking everywhere
your song circlin’ higher and gone
where were you when I was up my tree
drowning out the devils I’d heard speak
invisible, braced inside the bark
‘cause I needed you to call out come down from there
I’ve been looking everywhere
your song circlin’ higher and gone
come down I’ve been watching you all along
bird of this paradise crying to me
precious and prized for your golds and your greens
I can see everything from the top of this tree
no sooner you’re seen then you fly
and I’m falling…

"Quite apart from that this album is extraordinary on its
own merits there are few artists willing to expose their talents to such a sparse instrumental background, and you need to listen to it and discover its beauty for yourself."

The Pivot On Which The World Turns (2022)
by Polly Paulusmasupported by 4 fans who also own “Down From There”
Came here by accident and feel like I have found a secret, made a very special friend. Making the everyday seem extraordinary, this record has blown me away. Some songs I get no further than a verse in and I'm filled with tears but with no idea why. Such a wonderful thing. Thank you for making it. X
