Mount Eerie - Seaweed lyrics

Our daughter is one and a half
You have been dead eleven days
I got on the boat and came
To the place where the three
Of us were going to build our
House if you had lived you died though
So I came here alone with our baby
And the dust of your bones

I can't remember, were you into Canada geese?
Is it significant
These hundreds on the beach?
Or were they just hungry
For mid-migration seaweed?

What about foxgloves? Is that
A flower you liked? I can't remember
You did most of my remembering for me
And now I stand untethered in a
Field full of wild foxgloves
Wondering if you're there
Or if a flower means anything
And what could anything mean
In this crushing absurdity?
I brought a chair from home
I'm leaving it on the hill
Facing west and north
And I poured out your ashes on it
I guess so you can watch the sunset
But the truth is I don't think
Of that dust as you you are the sunset
