Yellow Wood Lyrics

Yellow Wood (黄桑) - Esben and the Witch

Written by:Daniel Copeman/Rachel Davies/Thomas Fisher

 

Show me back to the path

Where the ground has split in half

Like the claws of a cloven hoof

 

Where the shelves have shifted fast

Raising highways for the lost

Explorers searching for truth

 

Fault lines disappear

Now the hanging wall is here

Imposing it's valved clay beak

 

A wishbone pulled apart

By a child in the dark

 

Who's hoping for the larger tusk

 

Take my hand lead me south

To the maw that gaping mouth

From where the dumb mud drips

 

These dreams may be too late

But return me to the wake

And into the stream I'll slip

 

But greed for greener grass

Lures me cruelly to the past

Like a siren calling from the rock

 

Left stranded in a vale

 

It's lonely in the shade

That wicked memory makes

 

Show me back to the path

Where the ground has split in half

Like the claws of a cloven hoof

 

Where the shelves have shifted fast

Raising highways for the lost

Explorers searching for truth

 

Fault lines disappear

Now the hanging wall is here

Imposing it's valved clay beak

 

A wishbone pulled apart

By a child in the dark

Who's hoping for the larger tusk

 

Take my hand lead me south

To the maw that gaping mouth

From where the dumb mud drips

 

These dreams may be too late

But return me to the wake

And into the stream I'll slip

 

But greed for greener grass

Lures me cruelly to the past

Like a siren calling from the rock

 

Left stranded in a vale

It's lonely in the shade

 

That wicked memory makes

 

So come find me in a yellow wood

 

I'll be waiting in a yellow wood

 

You and I in a yellow wood

 

All alone in a yellow wood

 

So come find me in a yellow wood

 

I'll be waiting in a yellow wood

 

You and I in a yellow wood

 

 

All alone in a yellow wood
