letra de the willow's song - house phone

Loading...

here’s a tale for runaways
and shoes found by the riverbank
and missing girls that get lost in the woods

they wept a month, but never grieved
us deeper than the canopy
if someone had just sought us where we cried
maybe we would not have had to die

dying was my only sin
and once i let that fever in
i walked back to that wretched place i’m from
said, “mother, please, the winter’s cold
i lost my shoes, not getting any older
i just wanna come back home”
and then the cl!cking of the lock re-broke the bone

oh, there’s no way out for me
and anyone else

my father, taught by firelight
had always paid his mother mind
and she was raised up in a different age

where fear is one d-mn storyteller
fear creates the creature
and it gives you an excuse to be afraid

so when i crossed that boundary line
and crossed on to the other side
my father let me suffer in my grave

oh, there’s no way out for him
or anyone else

years on, met a girl in summer
cast out by her mother
she cried, “she just couldn’t love me how i’m living”
i caught her in the underbrush
my kiss they call the willow’s touch
she fell beneath the reeds
and i would do it all again
as long as little girls keep howling like the wind

oh, there’s no way out for her
or anyone else

i came upon your grave
i dropped a penny and i prayed
said i was sorry it was all that i could do

but i am not afraid to ask
for passage through the willow’s path
for you can’t k!ll what you’ve misunderstood

but tell me why you let her go
tell me how my sister slipped
unnoticed by the patron of the wood

i am not a daughter, i am nothing like your father
and god knows i’m going nowhere far for good

there’s a way out for me and anyone, anyone, anyone, anyone
there’s a way out for me, and anyone else
i cannot put your heart at ease
you’re gonna hurt if you decide to leave
so why not stay awhile and sleep
beside my runaways beneath
the leaning branches of the willow tree
