west of roan - bright lyrics

Loading...

i’m asking all you mothers of mine
where’s the story of your body like mine?

there’s a woman standing waist+deep in the sand
and the river ’round her
there’s gold in her hair and her long fingers
they move the water underneath
her body’s a fish and she moves through the rushes

she says “oh, my daughter, all i had is dead and gone
there’s a cave inside me where the dead will risе up in song
there’s a cave insidе me, there’s a light inside me, but i’m gone.”

i’m asking, where goes the wind in darkness?
where goes my body when the light’s gone away?
i’ve been listening, i’ve been listening
but the silence surrounds me

the heart yearns for love, and the body for home
mine yearns for deeper waters still
for your dark souls, they are waiting
to cross the river full and bright

you were buried a long, long time ago
they took your tongue, they drank your secrets down
your silver knife, they kept it for their own
oh, can you hear me?
i am calling for you and you
and all of you

we crawl into the laurel again
we cry, and cry, and cry, and cry
in the silence that comes after
the brightness of the brightness of the sky
