Out of the Woods

 

Listen: Smoke Fairies - Out Of The Woods

 

When you went away

I was waiting for the earth to break

For fortitude to swallow you

Go sinking down in the lake

 

Like the tangled roots

I grew into you

In winter’s mires

You burn your fires

And you burn me too

 

When you going to come out of the woods

Just like you always do?

 

Is it the fault of dreams?

The cold and rotting leaves?

You are bold but skeletal

You bring me to my knees

 

When you going to come out of the woods

Come crawling through the trees?

 

Out in the winterscape

You’re always waiting

Black dog running free

My mind is chasing

Out there in the trees

The branches moving

I want to follow you

But you cut your path

Straight through me

 

When you went away

I was waiting for the earth to break

To pull you down

Through hollow ground

But you’re clawing back again

 

You wait like the spineless things

That sleep ‘til they grow their wings

In the dirt they find their worth

And go swarming over the streams

 

When you going to come out of the woods?

Come crawling through the leaves?

 

Out in the winterscape

You’re always waiting

Black dog running free

My mind is chasing

Out there in the trees

The branches moving

I want to follow you

But you cut your path

Straight through me
