Agalloch - Where Shade Once Was lyrics
[Agalloch - Where Shade Once Was lyrics]
Where shade once was
The oak tree in a sprawl
Of death no longer writhing against the wind
The people say: "I see now it was tall"
And here and there slight nests
Of spring now find
Themselves dependent on a severed height
The people say: "I see now it was kind"
The people praise the people cut
Twilight comes and they haul their loads off
Through mid-air a cry
A blackcap crying out in flight
Seeking a nest that is no longer there
The oak tree in a sprawl
Of death no longer writhing against the wind
The people say: "I see now it was tall"
And here and there slight nests
Of spring now find
Themselves dependent on a severed height
The people say: "I see now it was kind"
The people praise the people cut
Twilight comes and they haul their loads off
Through mid-air a cry
A blackcap crying out in flight
Seeking a nest that is no longer there
