Blue Tattoo River — A Song Giving Voice to Olive Oatman | A Life Between Two Worlds

In memory of Olive Oatman (1837–1903). A young woman who survived the unimaginable, walked between two worlds, and left behind a story of resilience beyond words. May her memory live on with kindness, respect, and truth. /// Lyrics /// I was taken by the wind From the fields I knew Water on my eyes, dust in my hair And a name I outgrew The fire learned my face The dark learned my breath I kept a small bright ember In the bone house of my chest I watched the seasons change In another sky I learned the language of hunger And the shape of goodbye Olive, keep on breathing Keep on breathing through the night Olive, keep on breathing You are still a living light Blue tattoo river Carry me home I wore the mark of crossing Like a moon on my skin Two blue lines, a story That the world read in I mourned what was broken I blessed what remained I held my grief like water And let it change myself I walked where the stones were warm I prayed through the cold To the old wild powers And the girl I used to hold Olive, keep on breathing Keep on breathing through the night Olive, keep on breathing You are still a living light Blue tattoo river Carry me home If you see my shadow Do not call it lost I have been both wound and bloom Both the leaf and frost Stars in the cedars Drum inside my breast I am not only sorrow I am what comes next Olive, keep on shining Keep on rising with the light Olive, keep on shining You have always been the light Blue tattoo river Carry me home Blue tattoo river Carry me home ~ 🧚 Each of my songs has been crafted with all my heart, soul, and personality, in worlds that make me dream, with lyrics written to allow my imagination to come to life.
