The Coopersmiths

from Ditchlore by Heather French Henry

/

lyrics

Tangled knots of branch left floating downstream
General I want my mornings back
I must admit this is all suddenly new to me
Using the ferry to try and get back

Battle scars are seen in western Tennessee
no easy place to call home
On all the rocks they painted don't tread on me
but I've got nowhere else to go

Who decides the order
of marching men across the frozen lake?
I burn burn burn but that body wont return to me

Wilderness of grace and swampy twilight
I'm taking survey in the dark
I went out looking for my love in the night
but the rivers cross like snakes in the tar

Who decides the order
of marching men across the frozen lake
because I burn burn burn but that body wont return to me

There's something about the past I've yet to see
Like a hundred barrels taken from one tree
Behind the sunrise the shadows often flee
With your hands on me
The belt of time wrapped loosely around your shoulders
Blowing free
