fleet foxes – third of may / ōdaigahara lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
light ended the night, but the song remained
and i was hiding by the stair, half here
half there, past the lashing rain
and as the sky[e] would petal white, old innocent lies came to mind
as we stood, congregated, at the firing line

[verse 2]
night ended the fight, but the song remained
and so i headed to the wall
turned tail to call to the new domain
as if in the sight of sea, you’re suddenly free
but it’s all the same…
oh, but i can hear you, loud in the center
aren’t we made to be crowded together, like leaves?

[refrain 1]
was i too slow? did you change overnight?
second son, on the other line…

[verse 3]
now, back in our town as a castaway
i’m reminded of the time it all fell in line, on the third of may
as if it were designed, painted in sand to be washed away
oh, but i can hear you, loud in the center
aren’t we made to be crowded together, like leaves?

[refrain 2]
was i too slow? did i change overnight?
second son, for the second time…

[verse 4]
can i be light and free?
if i lead you through the fury will you call to me?
and is all that i might owe you carved on ivory?

[refrain 3]
but all will fade. all i say. all i needed
as a flash in the eye, i wouldn’t deny, all receded

[verse 5]
life unfolds in pools of gold
i am only owed this shape if i make a line to hold
to be held within one’s self is deathlike, oh i know

[refrain 4]
but all will be, for mine and me, as we make it
and the size of the fray, can’t take it away, they won’t make it

[outro]
i was a fool
crime after crime to confess to
but i hold the fleet angel, she’ll bless you
hold fast to the wing. hold fast to the wing
