back in the canyon - bodies of water lyrics

Loading...

way back in the canyon, where we built our home
out among the falcons, rabbits, and the voles
on the day that helena came to cut our hair
from the porch, we saw fire rising through the air

but the trees, they were not burning
and no smoke billowed forth

the flames towered above us, at least five stories high
and melded with the clouds in the evening sky
we heard far off drumming, drawing ever near
then crashing through thе bushes, came about a hundred deer

thе light went orange and purple, and then twisted into rings
the children came running out, but they saw nothing
they only jumped off a chair and ran off with our phones

then we heard speaking coming from the ground
the earth began to tremble and groan beneath the sound
it said “though you loathe your body, it is who you are”
helena said “ok, whatever” and ashed into the yard

we went back in the house and poured out some rosé
the voice kept talking out there, but we weren’t listening
the hills were full of the sound, but we didn’t care
we turned on the news; a catfishing scheme went wrong
the lights outside slowly faded, the canyon shadows grew long

and all that went away, all that went away
i held you in my arms, and all that went away
