The Lake and the River Lyrics & Tabs by The Dear Hunter
The Lake and the River
guitar chords lyrics
Everything you'd live and die for; reasons leading you through here: Perished matriarchal bond, failing innocence of love.
When the world beckons your approach it swallows you whole.
You'll believe what you're meant to believe.
In the hands of ghosts, we're never responsible.
Wait to see what you're meant to see.
The veil lifts when you expose your soul.
Pray'd I would leave this place someday.
Joined to alarm from long ago, now unconcerned.
Euphorically floating upon wax wing, where is the sun?
I still see her face, her beauty her grace
Transfixed like a light in front of me.
It follows my soul, and swallows me whole.
Left, right, left, right.
His branches reached so far before.
His leaves were bold extremities with great control. Wasted along, he died alone.
Left, right, left, right.
His branches reached so far before.
His leaves were bold extremities with great control. Wasted along, he died alone.
But the right hand hates the left,
and the sea's upset with the sky.
So we press on in spite of the spite.
Happiness is a knife when the worlds on its side and your minds on fire.
Don't you know that happiness is knife when the world's on fire?
"Trying to find the trouble with the trouble I've found.
Begging my god to make the wheels go round.
Eat so much but I never get full.
Earth opened up and swallowed you whole."
