Ethel Cain, Wicca Phase Springs Eternal - God's Country lyrics
[Ethel Cain, Wicca Phase Springs Eternal - God's Country lyrics]
The road is longer than it is hard
With no one to guide you and no one to hold
No best foot forward to sway the odds
And just a voice inside you
And a stone to throw
Could you be someone else
If someone else is what I need?
But I shouldn’t ask that of you
When you’re old you’ll understand
But we’re hurting now so what are
We to do 'til then? Cradling pictures of you
It was a highway to nowhere, and we rode it
Cold car with no gas and we chose it
Soft bodies playing in the street
Our kids will grow up with half as much
Trying to build something out of dust
Finding out too late what they need
You’ve tasted love and it tastеd sweet
You drank the blood and bit the meat
You hold it, you hold it, you lеt it go
You close your eyes and count to three
You say the word and come to me baby, I know
Drive the pathway through the pines
And the moors of mystery
Welcome conflict and let crisis come
And shake the ground beneath
And the family secret hiding
In the farmhouse down the street
Rushes open door on your front porch
And shadows me
Taken and entirely I embraced the bonny beast
Over hills and highlands
We rode hard the passing peaks
Danger like the virgin wife
Beside me she would sleep
Cherry was her dad’s truck that
She crashed at seventeen
I kneel before what temper broke
The branches on the beach
And those thrilling highs and southern nights
Are always out of reach
I learned a lesson
I need to pray hard, final hours
Take care of me god take care of me god
You’ve tasted love and it tasted sweet
You drank the blood and bit the meat
You hold it, you hold it, you let it go
You close your eyes and count to three
You say the word and come to me baby, I know
The road is longer than it is hard
(love overwhelms me)
With no one to guide you
(it’s all that I want
And it’s all that we have)
No best foot forward to sway the odds
(but is it enough) just a voice inside you
(to make it worth it in the end)
Don’t sink in me with your dog teeth
Don’t sink in me with your dog teeth
Don’t sink in me with your dog teeth
Don’t sink in me
Don’t sink in me with your dog teeth
You’ve tasted love and it tasted sweet
You drank the blood and bit the meat
You hold it, you hold it
But you’ll never know
You close your eyes and cry to me
Don’t sink in me with your dog teeth
We’re better off if you let go
In God’s country in God’s country
If it was harder then it will be better now
For I am here and changed
I couldn’t tell you how
There before the grace of God go I
Laughing to myself forgetting what about
No best foot forward to sway the odds
And just a voice inside you
And a stone to throw
With no one to guide you and no one to hold
No best foot forward to sway the odds
And just a voice inside you
And a stone to throw
Could you be someone else
If someone else is what I need?
But I shouldn’t ask that of you
When you’re old you’ll understand
But we’re hurting now so what are
We to do 'til then? Cradling pictures of you
It was a highway to nowhere, and we rode it
Cold car with no gas and we chose it
