about

This song uses the words of poet Tom Daley, a true inspiration and dear friend.

lyrics

Defiance (poem by Tom Daley)

She is stepping backwards now
And laughing
The twin straps of her bathing suit
Looped over her upper arms

The afternoon coppers her hair
Her rebuke has softened like chalk

The tide is yanking the wind out to sea
Beyond her ears
At her feet the magma has
Forsaken its fire

All her life she has warded of
Caution with her mouth

It is not for nothing
That the world has left her so
Bare-legged, wanton,
Bristling like a vapor trail

In the trap of the sun
