the forgetmenauts - cottonwood lyrics
through a canyon in new mexico
in the subtle warmth of spring
i heard, like hummingbirds or bayonets
a sweet and somber singing
was it the jackalopes up in the hills
coyotes laughing ’round a k!ll
a songbird, out of season still
or distant churchbells ringing?
(one two three four, one)
i know that song
percussive as firewood
snapping in the night
o’er a misspent childhood
copying lines
in the schoolhouse
when i should
have been out [?]
in the cottonwood!
i held him dying
from a snakebite in the sand
i felt his pulse stop
with my own two shaking hands
and i know that god takes lives
and god is good
so i got wasted with the devil in the cottonwood
what good is a soul without a soulmate? (x8)
what good is a soul?
so on a parchment with a buzzard’s quill
i signеd my soul away
i’ll haunt these hills forevеr more
a pauper’s price to pay
if i could hold my darling james again
and listen to his song
to harmonize by the firelight
and wake with him at dawn
