Hessie and Ella

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Hessie Clark on a new shore Salt wind, shoes on the floor Pack light, heart wide open New Zealand sky, unbroken Ella rolls in all sharp teeth Hot words dragging through the street She crashes out on everyone Leaves a mess, then she’s gone [Pre-Chorus] But Hessie just laughs it off Turns the map and keeps on walking Ella’s storming at the door Still, she follows when she’s talking [Chorus] Hessie Clark, run wild Ella, Ella, don’t bite Hessie Clark, bright spark Ella, come on, ride Hessie Clark, no fear Ella, say it clear Hessie Clark, out there Ella, meet me there [Verse 2] They steal apples by the wharf Mud on boots, both wanting more Hessie points at distant hills Ella scoffs, then takes the pill She snaps hard, then softs down Not so mean when no one’s around Hessie sees the crack in stone Learns a wild heart can still come home [Pre-Chorus] Now the clouds start turning gold And the day goes loud and reckless Ella’s got a thousand sparks Hessie’s got the nerve to test them [Chorus] Hessie Clark, run wild Ella, Ella, don’t bite Hessie Clark, bright spark Ella, come on, ride Hessie Clark, no fear Ella, say it clear Hessie Clark, out there Ella, meet me there [Bridge] One moved south, one burned hot One keeps calm, one calls out If she storms, let her storm If she runs, let her run [Final Chorus] Hessie Clark, run wild Ella, Ella, don’t bite Hessie Clark, bright spark Ella, come on, ride Hessie Clark, no fear Ella, say it clear Hessie Clark, out there Ella, meet me there
