Mount Eerie - Wooly Mammoth's Mighty Absence lyrics

Quickly forgetting was the way
I lived my life try telling me your name or
Try telling me "don't worry"
Everything I knew would quickly
Wither and die
And all echoes would be buried
In the sound of living
The sound of my feet on the sidewalk
That was me - treasure hunting
I would bury what I found
That was me - the gold digger, underground

Quickly forgotten was that forgetful
Way of life
When I left home, when I lived as if I'd died
Sitting on a rock and doing nothing
Alone for so long
In the dark I found my sight
And there your name was written
Large in letters bright!
There my faith was! "Worry
Not!" declared the night
In the great void of my life I could
Feel the shape of what was missing
Like the way the Woolly Mammoth stands so
Tall and bold in our minds
I was shaken at the size of my cry
And the true love it described

I know day is dawning now
So ends my holy night
It's back to the world I go
Back to the girls and shows
And other worldly woes
And their unfurling flows
Will I carry myself slowly
Enough to remember?
I sit on a dark rock doing nothing still
Just crowded
And there's the love in flesh and bone
