Default lyrics for new song (Secrets in Stones?)

Here's my poor attempt to understand the lyrics for Lisa's new song...maybe you understand more or different...


The sky was…in white…today
Made no mistake, you always have to pay to play
She was tired and bleached as the dark broke the beach and the birds took off
As they wheeled away she left out at the bay though her heart was rough
Her heart was rough

The fire is one man lost as the…
You made a mistake and now it aches for what it had to lose
So he took himself west and the seabirds confessed
Till his hands where clean
By the water alone ha sat his secrets in stones
Send them skimming down…

Between … his…to be a home
Within the new…

Her eyes are green and sun…done in cloud
But he couldn’t recall their salty particular …
By a slice of a gate the ash is cold and …she new that he’d be
In the kitchen she…cup and a pot and the envelope between

Between..his...to be a home
Within the new..
She had him sewed to a scene still always tangled up and…
He had her …always burning…

Oh…

Great groundwork!

The sky was … white away today
Make no mistake, you always have to pay to play
She was tired and bleached as the dark broke the beach and the birds took off
As they wheeled away she laughed out at the bay though her heart was rough
Her heart was rough

The fire is one man lost as the… taste??
You made a mistake and now it aches for what it had to lose
So he took himself west and the seabirds confessed
Till his hands were clean
By the water alone he said his secrets in stones
Sent them skimming down ...

Between her.. and his, his honour stood to be a home
Within the new... reasons to just leave it well alone

Her eyes are green in sun but dawn in cloud
But he couldn’t recall their salty particular's now
By a slice of a gate the ash is cold and …she new that he’d be
In the kitchen she stopped, saw the cup and a pot and the envelope between

Between her.. and his, his honour stood to be a home
Within the new... reasons to just leave it well alone
She had him sewed to a scene still always tangled up and worn,
He had her wanting, always worrying, embers barely warm.

Oh…

in the chorus, could it be "Between her palm and his"?
edit: then I think she it's "newest reasons"

btw, great work, guys, thanks

^ Natraj is another name for Shiva, one of the most revered Hindu gods. It corresponds to this pic of a "dancing Shiva". She's the god of the arts (I think? or artistic skill?)



She represents creation and joy and sorrow and in the dancing form (i.e. Natraj), the general flow and vigor of life. And the circle around her is about cosmic energy and spiritual awakening.

Could it be: he SET his secrets in stones?

First line I hear, "the sky was pacing white to grey today" but not sure if it makes sense

^^Or it's just the brand of the harmonium. It's an Indian instrument after all.

^ probably. but even then, that's what the name of the brand was inspired by (even if it wasn't an intentional association by Lisa)
