letra de tower and the wheel - wild ponies

[chorus]
the oak tower stands alone
with gnarled arms from broken bones
patched with scars she’s tucked beneath her bough

[verse 1]
the air smells like metal
the leaves become unsettled
but their backs’ against the coming of the storm
other trees relax their limbs
bend and weave up besting glims
as they stretch and limber up to not be torn
pull close to what you know
oh, then let it go
only in the end
when the winds are calm again
will they see those roots have held
and who they’ll mourn
dark fingers from the east
stretch out in swift and swirling reach
until they catch and choke the light out of the sun
and fold into a fist
beat the mercy from the hills
with the thunder of wild ponies on the run
from dusk a mighty claim
on the shoulders of a clave
the river takes the rain
holds on to while she can
but she fears she may drown
before it’s done

oh, oh the tower burns
oh, oh fortune turns

[chorus]
the oak tower stands alone
with gnarled arms from broken bones
patched with scars she’s tucked beneath her bough

[verse 2]
she’s seen houses built and barns fall down
children playing all around
whose families lived and died in her front row
winter smlls, summer nights
burning fires, electric lights
machines that turn to rust and fall apart
she’s held a thousand horses tied
she’s shelteres brides and grooms who’ve died
she’s watched as weathers evolved beneath the stars

rises in the fire
there’s a beauty to it all
her roots are thick beneath the earth
she shakes her fist as rain gets worse
it’s just a little wind and rain and dark
