nora jane struthers - to catch a phoenix lyrics

Loading...

i’ve read the tomes, heard the tales
i knew the way, i would not fail
packed a bag, kissed friends goodbye
galloped away, hopes shining bright

across the waving prairie grasses
over the snowy mountain passes
kept pushing west, i traveled hard
i was almost there, i could smell the salt

far away in death valley
there is one way to catch a phoenix
you’ve gotta cut out your heart
and just leave it on the ground

can’t crawl away or hold your breath
no matter what don’t stitch+up your chest
just gotta wait and hope your heart
beats strong enough to be heard from afar

and so i sat back to the sky
on the white salt flats waiting to die
what’s that i hear? it hums and sings
across the air, the noise of wings

far away in death valley
there is one way to catch a phoenix
you’ve gotta cut out your heart
you’ve gotta cut out your heart

when it comes, if it comes, it might not choose you
and you watch the beast touch down
and feast on the tender heart you grew
it leaves behind the seed inside
flies away, far out of sight
you’re left alone to bleed and cry

there is one way to catch a phoenix
you’ve gotta cut out your heart
you’ve gotta cut out your heart

i had to wait for twilight’s dim
to find the glowing seed within
the gruesome swirls of red and white
my only hope, this tiny light

legend proclaims the heart seed
must be set aflame and quickly thrust
back from whence it came and sewn up tight
from this tiny grain may sprout new life
