Delta Rae Surrounded
I was born in the state where my mother was raised
With the children of soldiers, the children of slaves
And it's too much to take, the mind how it breaks
The lessons the stories the shame and the glories and all
They linger 'round
Foxes and hounds
Our souls are bound
To older ground
Fell in love with a girl who's found love before
In the hands and the hearts of the people she wore
She's all that I see, but there's things in between
The fractures and fissures of all of the pictures we leave
They linger 'round
Foxes and hounds
They're with me now
Can't lay them down
And I feel it all around, I'm surrounded
And I feel it all around, I'm surrounded
And I feel it all around, I'm surrounded by ghosts
So we keep them at home, the secrets and bones
The voices we hear so we're never alone
They tease and they taunt, comfort and haunt
My mother and father and so many I'll never know
They linger 'round
Foxes and hounds
My hands are bound
And I feel it all around, I'm surrounded
And I feel it all around, I'm surrounded
And I feel it all around, I'm surrounded by ghosts
