Further from my widowed home Take the road that sets you to the sun Waiting for my skin and bone To return and see what I’ve become Summer has not yet been here Though my days are long Take me back to when the night was young And another song was sung What of all those pretty tales The ones that took me to this door There’s a comfort in the sirens wail A comfort upon this wooden floor To you, is it a failure To forget the ones you once held dear I tried to remember but my mind is no longer clear Don’t you recognise me I’ve fallen far, far from the tree The roots came up, up to my knee They twisted round I made no sound… no sound I wandered ‘til my brittle bone Had succumbed and pulled me to the stone Further from the towns you’ve known I remain from where I had begun I stumble before I started I was kicking over stones as child In the meadow when the storm came through And I burrowed straight back to you Don’t you recognise me I’ve fallen far, far from the tree The roots came up, up to my knee They twisted round I made no sound… no sound Would you ever doubt my love When my day is done I’ll lay down my body within this earth I’ve won Would you try to follow the roads I had to walk There’s a whisper in the willow From there you’ll hear me talk

If I’m running out of time Then I’m running out of time There’s nothing you can do To try to pull me through Could tie me down with twine Give me back what’s mine I wouldn’t want you to Try to pull me through You’ll find me in the morning Hidden within the rose Down beneath the great lake And up where the jackdaw crows My grandfather did ask me Do you know what you have done There were ripples in the waters I found them when you were young And if I’m gonna find a way Then I’m gonna find a way To give it back to you To try to see it through My wish is in the well And my heart began to swell And my breath became so slow And the world it seemed to grow You’ll find me in the morning Hidden within the rose Down beneath the great lake And up where the jackdaw crows My grandfather did ask me Do you know what you have done There were ripples in the waters I found them when you were young

How long will your crown stay gold Will it slip away to leave when you’re old I’ll wait where the tall tree bends You come find me I’ll be with you near the end How long before that fear sets in Will it come to you to wash away your sin How long before you cut me down to size However long it takes you to realise Ohhh my love you’re not alone Ohhh my love you’re not alone And you move around in this city Its veins shaped your history I know you’ve been far from home That medicine cuts right to the bone I see the grief got caught on your face Running from a nameless place Go tell your father you didn’t mean to lie Don’t worry about us We’ll never ask you why Ohhh my love you’re not alone Ohhh my love you’re not alone You take up your sides That river runs wide You wait where only bitter winds have blown For a little peace of mind It’s a hard way to be For a little peace of mind That’s a hard way to be

In Winter 03:47
Come to me Wash it away When I breathe Took my weight In the winter, the winter You took your clothes off Drifted under water By the wood house When the snow came In the winter The winter Come to me Rest your head
