Big Thief - Geese lyrics
[Big Thief - Geese lyrics]
The last time
The last time we were here I was two
I watched you reappear from the scarlet sky
The wild geese were returning
Falling embers from the burning April sun
How this place has changed, like my voice
The wildflowers drink the rain
They have no choice
All their faces getting wet
They just sway so slow and
Let the water wash them
Now your eyеs too, fill with water
As your face turns to your daughter
Dull and grеy
What's a valley gonna say as her
Trees are stripped away without warning
The last time we were here
The wind was colder
Snow rose to my ear, and to your shoulder
I took a crooked photograph
Froze the second of your laughter
Rosy cheeks now the months turn into weeks
As the violet crystal shrinks
You may not meet her
What's the winter gonna do
As her ice runs hot and blue
The last time we were here I was two
I watched you reappear from the scarlet sky
The wild geese were returning
Falling embers from the burning April sun
How this place has changed, like my voice
The wildflowers drink the rain
They have no choice
All their faces getting wet
They just sway so slow and
Let the water wash them
Now your eyеs too, fill with water
As your face turns to your daughter
Dull and grеy
What's a valley gonna say as her
Trees are stripped away without warning
The last time we were here
The wind was colder
Snow rose to my ear, and to your shoulder
I took a crooked photograph
Froze the second of your laughter
Rosy cheeks now the months turn into weeks
As the violet crystal shrinks
You may not meet her
What's the winter gonna do
As her ice runs hot and blue
