michael e. johnson - ebony bird lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
up in the woods, down in the mud
tarnished tin and blackened blood
rise up the cold, fold in the frost
soon seeps in and time gets lost

[verse 2]
shape of stone, a heavy hand
set to serve a shattered land
weight of wind, and laughing leaves
fear the call of feathered thieves

[chorus]
i wonder have i lingered long?
spellbound by the willow’s song?
how much longer shall i stay?
he won’t say

[verse 3]
distant dogs invade the air
rush my ears, broke and bare
ebony bird, hard in my hand
harvest of a hostile land

[verse 4]
cousin crow is fearless now
piercing eye and brazen bow
blackest grace through silver sky
to seize that solemn bird and fly
[chorus]
i wonder have i lingered long?
spellbound by the willow’s song?
how much longer shall i stay?
he won’t say

[bridge]
heartwood relic carved by hand
stolen from the promised land
speaking with a wooden tongue
smooth through time and a worried thumb

[chorus]
i wonder have i lingered long?
spellbound by the willow’s song?
how much longer shall i stay?
he won’t say
