dry the river – hidden hand lyrics

[verse 1]
i had a vision in the chapel:
flame flickered on your forehead like an apple
when the morning came
i was enthralled by your movement

[pre-chorus]
but i was scared, i wrote a letter
to articulate my thoughts a little better
when the time came for speaking my mind
it was gone

[chorus]
the garden’s overgrown!
is the fact of the matter
and now it’s just a field behind the house
where the creepers kinda swallow the light

where you wait for a talking snake
for a calendar date—
something you can rely on
you can steady the scale with my heart in a pail if i’m wrong

[verse 2]
when i was young and not a cynic
i felt a gravity beyond the city limits
out in the violent heart
i couldn’t start to explain it

[pre-chorus]
but all my lovers turn to friends
and i’m in london singing ‘if it be your will’ again
when the time came for speaking my mind
it was gone

[chorus]
the garden’s overgrown!
is the fact of the matter
and now it’s just a field behind the house
where the creepers kinda swallow the light

where you wait for a talking snake
for a calendar date—
something you can rely on
you can steady the scale with my heart in a pail if i’m wrong

[bridge]
i miss my childhood house where my heart slowed down
i could take control of myself there
since our childhood homes are apartments, though
i’ve been finding i don’t feel it the same way, now

[chorus]
the garden’s overgrown!
is the fact of the matter
and now it’s just a field behind the house
where the creepers kinda swallow the light

where you wait for a talking snake
for a calendar date—
something you can rely on
you can steady the scale with my heart in a pail if i’m wrong
