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
