Junior Brother - Witches Willow lyrics
[Junior Brother - Witches Willow lyrics]
Keyless, I locked my hands away
Away from their arms
But they've returned upon wild heat
like greyhounds begging for scratchings
Of meat
And the court is heaving like the wild roots
Crawling down the witches willow
I remember I heard her laugh one time
In the trees
When her roots pulled me through the ground
To join her at her table
Covered in the darkest dirt I've
Ever seen on platters
Below a ceiling which rained more
Down on our heads
(and) I remembered when we used
To play inside her castle, 40 feet above
The graves are walking from the
Hills beneath recoiling clouds
When the ghosts and the dead
Voices come out of
The stones the kids get the fear of God
They keep their candles burning, I
Keep mine burning too, below anyone's gaze
Hear the pork grind off the moss
Feel the danger but embrace the fear
Lick the flint which split's the meat
Like the way it always was will be
This is what we've waited for, my friends
This is why we tuned our virginals
This is why we lay in the mountains
Is it not?
Away from their arms
But they've returned upon wild heat
like greyhounds begging for scratchings
Of meat
And the court is heaving like the wild roots
Crawling down the witches willow
I remember I heard her laugh one time
In the trees
When her roots pulled me through the ground
To join her at her table
Covered in the darkest dirt I've
Ever seen on platters
Below a ceiling which rained more
Down on our heads
(and) I remembered when we used
To play inside her castle, 40 feet above
The graves are walking from the
Hills beneath recoiling clouds
When the ghosts and the dead
Voices come out of
The stones the kids get the fear of God
They keep their candles burning, I
Keep mine burning too, below anyone's gaze
Hear the pork grind off the moss
Feel the danger but embrace the fear
Lick the flint which split's the meat
Like the way it always was will be
This is what we've waited for, my friends
This is why we tuned our virginals
This is why we lay in the mountains
Is it not?
